Product Information
Full details
This Caecus roller blind in purple is ideal for homeowners seeking a stylish and functional window treatment that offers moderate light filtering and privacy. Its key benefit is the versatile installation and adjustable drop, providing a custom fit for various window sizes. A minor caveat is that while it filters light, it is not a blackout blind, allowing some light to pass through. The blind features a dim-out fabric, a 160cm adjustable drop, a 25mm aluminium tube, metal mounting brackets, and a child-safe side winder mechanism. It can be fitted top, face, inside, or outside the recess.

FAQs
What is the maximum drop of this blind?
The fabric has a length of 160cm, which can be lowered to your desired length.
Is this a blackout blind?
No, this is a dim-out blind. It filters light to provide privacy but does not block it out completely.
Can I install this blind myself?
Yes, the blind comes with easy-fit brackets and instructions for self-installation. Basic DIY skills and appropriate tools are recommended.
What colour is the blind?
The blind is in the 'Purple' colour family.
What is the diameter of the aluminium tube?

How do I clean the blind fabric?
Gently wipe the fabric with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning agents.
Are the mounting screws included?
No, the mounting screws are not included. You will need to use screws appropriate for your wall or window frame material.
Troubleshooting
Blind does not lower or raise smoothly.
Check the side winder mechanism for any obstructions or tangled cords. Ensure the blind tube is not bent or damaged.
Brackets feel loose after installation.
Re-tighten the screws securing the brackets. Ensure you are using wall plugs suitable for your wall type if fixing into masonry.
Fabric is creased or uneven.
Lower the blind fully and allow it to hang for some time; creases often fall out. For persistent issues, a gentle wipe with a damp cloth might help.
Child-safe winder is stiff.
Ensure the cord is correctly seated within the winder mechanism. Light lubrication of the mechanism might be necessary if stiff after prolonged use.
