FAQs
Are these blinds suitable for humid rooms like bathrooms?
Yes, the PVC construction is moisture-resistant, making them an excellent choice for bathrooms and kitchens.
Can these blinds be cut to length?
Yes, both the width and the drop can be adjusted by trimming the PVC slats to fit your window dimensions.
Are the pull cords child-safe?
Yes, the product includes integrated child-safe features to prevent tangling and potential hazards.
Which side are the controls on?
The pull cord for raising/lowering is on the right, and the tilt wand is on the left.
What tools do I need for installation?
You will typically need a drill, a screwdriver, a measuring tape, and a pencil for marking the bracket positions.
Can I mount these inside or outside the recess?
Yes, the included fittings allow for both inside-recess and wall-mount installation.
Troubleshooting
Blinds will not stay at the desired height
Ensure the pull cord is pushed to the right side to engage the auto-lock mechanism.
Slats are uneven or tilt at different angles
Fully lower the blinds, then pull the cord to raise them back up; this usually resets the internal gear mechanism.
Difficulty trimming the slats
Use a sharp pair of heavy-duty shears and mark the cutting line clearly with a pencil before trimming to ensure a clean edge.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before installation, use a steel tape measure to determine the exact width and drop of your window recess. If the blinds are wider than your window frame, carefully trim the slats using sturdy scissors or a dedicated slat cutter.
Installation Steps:
- Mark the mounting points on your window frame or lintel.
- Secure the included header bar brackets.
- Snap the header bar into the brackets until it clicks.
- Attach the tilt wand and test the cord lock mechanism.
Care Instructions: To maintain the pristine white finish, dust the slats regularly with a microfiber cloth. For deeper cleaning, wipe down with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution, then allow them to air dry. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that may discolor the PVC.
