FAQs
What is the maximum fabric width I can use?
The kit is available in various widths from 60cm to 210cm. You can cut the headrail down to fit a narrower window. For example, if you buy a 100cm kit, you can cut it down to a maximum of 100cm wide.
Do I need to buy anything else besides fabric?
No, the kit includes all the necessary fittings and parts to construct the Roman blind mechanism itself. You only need to provide your chosen fabric.
How do I determine the correct width of the kit to buy?
Measure the width of your window where the blind will be fitted. If the window is wider than 60cm, you can select a kit width that is equal to or slightly wider than your window. You can then trim the headrail and fabric down to size.
Can this kit be used for blackout blinds?
Yes, you can use blackout fabric with this kit. Ensure your chosen fabric has the desired blackout properties.
What is the drop of the blind?
The kit has a standard drop of 210cm, which can be reduced by shortening the fabric and adjusting the position of the pocket tape and rods.
Is the cord mechanism safe for children?
The kit includes a child safety cord cleat. This should be installed at a height where the cord can be tensioned, keeping it out of reach of young children.
What is the material of the headrail?
The headrail is made of aluminium, providing durability and a lightweight structure.
Troubleshooting
Blind does not hang straight
Ensure the fibreglass rods are evenly spaced and fully inserted into their pockets. Check that the headrail is mounted level.
Cord is difficult to pull or lock
Verify the cord is not tangled within the headrail mechanism. Ensure the cord lock is functioning correctly and the cord is threaded through it properly.
Wall supports feel loose
Ensure the correct wall plugs are used for your wall type and that the screws are tightened securely. For plasterboard, consider using appropriate fixings.
Fabric is not sitting flat
Check that the pocket tape is sewn straight and that the fibreglass rods are not bent. Ensure the bottom weight bar is correctly positioned.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Prepare Fabric: Cut your chosen fabric to the required dimensions, accounting for seams and hems.
Attach Tapes: Sew the provided pocket tape to the back of the fabric at regular intervals and the hook tape to the top edge.
Insert Rods: Slide the fibreglass rods into the pockets created by the pocket tape.
Assemble Headrail: Attach the headrail with hook tape, install the cord lock, and thread the control cord.
Mount Supports: Fix the PVC clip-in wall supports to your wall or window frame using the provided screws and wall plugs, ensuring they are level and appropriately spaced.
Attach Blind: Clip the assembled headrail into the wall supports.
Secure Cord: Install the child safety cord cleat at an appropriate height to keep the cord taut and out of reach of children.
Compatibility:
Fabric: Compatible with most standard curtain fabrics. Consider fabric weight and drape for best results.
Width: The kit can be cut down from its original width to fit narrower windows.
Drop: The standard drop is 210cm but can be shortened by adjusting the fabric length and pocket tape placement.
Care:
Headrail & Fittings: Wipe clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Fabric: Refer to the care instructions of your chosen fabric. The mechanism itself is not designed to be washed with the fabric.
Cord: Periodically check the cord for wear and tear. Ensure the child safety cleat remains securely fastened.
