Product Information

Full details

This Caecus Straight Edge Roller Blind in Grey is ideal for homeowners seeking a simple yet effective way to control light and enhance privacy. Its key benefit is the ease of installation and adjustable drop, offering a customizable light filtering experience. A potential caveat is that it's a dim-out blind, not blackout, meaning some light will still filter through.

FAQs

What is the maximum drop of this blind?

The blind has a fabric drop of 160cm, which can be adjusted to your desired length.

Can I cut the blind to size?

While the drop can be adjusted manually, cutting the width of the fabric is not recommended and may void the warranty.

Is this blind completely blackout?

No, this is a dim-out blind. It filters light to provide privacy but does not block out all light.

What type of material is the blind made from?

The blind is made from a dim-out fabric. The tube is aluminium and the brackets are metal.

How do I clean the blind fabric?

You can clean the fabric with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using strong cleaning agents.

Can the side winder be moved to the other side?

The product description does not specify if the side winder is reversible. Please refer to the installation manual or contact customer support for clarification.

What are the dimensions of the aluminium tube?

The aluminium tube has a diameter of 25mm.

Troubleshooting

Blind does not lower or raise smoothly.

Check the side winder mechanism for any obstructions. Ensure the fabric is not snagged or creased on the tube. Clean the winder mechanism.

Brackets feel loose after installation.

Ensure the correct screws and wall plugs (if needed) are used for your wall type. Tighten the screws securing the brackets to the wall or frame.

Side winder is difficult to turn.

Inspect the winder cord and mechanism for damage or entanglement. Gently try to free any caught parts. If persistent, consider professional assistance.
