Product Information
Full details
This Caecus Straight Edge Roller Blind in Purple is ideal for homeowners seeking a stylish and functional window covering that diffuses light while maintaining privacy. Its primary benefit is the elegant dim-out effect combined with easy installation and child-safe operation. A minor caveat is that while it diffuses light, it is not a blackout blind. Key features include a 25mm aluminium tube, metal mounting brackets, a child-safe side winder, and a 160cm adjustable drop.

FAQs
What is the main difference between dim-out and blackout blinds?
Dim-out blinds diffuse light, allowing some light to filter through while reducing glare and maintaining privacy. Blackout blinds are designed to block nearly all light for complete darkness.
Can I cut the blind to size?
The fabric drop is adjustable to your desired length using the side winder. However, the width of the blind is fixed. Trimming the width is not recommended as it can affect the fabric's integrity and operation.
How do I clean the purple fabric?
Gently wipe the fabric with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using strong detergents or soaking the fabric, as this may damage the material or its colour.
What are the dimensions of the aluminium tube?
The roller blind is mounted onto a 25mm diameter aluminium tube.
Are the mounting brackets included?
Yes, the blind comes with metal mounting brackets suitable for top or face fixing.
What is the maximum drop of the blind?
The fabric has a length of 160cm, which can be lowered to your desired length.
Is this blind suitable for a bathroom?
While the fabric diffuses light, it is not waterproof or moisture-resistant. For humid environments like bathrooms, blinds specifically designed for such conditions are recommended.
Troubleshooting
Blind does not lower or raise smoothly.
Check the side winder cord for any knots or obstructions. Ensure the blind is properly seated in its brackets. If the issue persists, the internal mechanism may require professional attention.
Brackets feel loose after installation.
Ensure the correct type and length of screws were used for your wall surface. Re-tighten the screws securely. If mounting on plasterboard, ensure appropriate wall plugs are used.
Fabric is creased.
Hang the blind fully extended for a few days. Gentle steaming from a distance might help, but test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid direct contact with the iron.
Child-safe winder is difficult to operate.
Ensure the winder mechanism is clean and free from dust. Check that the cord is not tangled. Gentle, steady pressure should be applied when operating.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Choose Fixing Location: Decide whether to top fix (to the ceiling or top of the window frame), face fix (to the wall above the window), or side fix (within the window frame, if space allows).
- Install Brackets: Use the provided metal mounting brackets. Mark the positions, drill pilot holes if necessary, and secure the brackets with appropriate screws for your wall type.
- Mount the Blind: Clip the roller blind assembly into the installed brackets.
- Adjust Drop: Lower the blind to your desired length and secure it using the side winder mechanism.
Compatibility:
This blind is designed for standard window installations. The brackets are compatible with most wall and ceiling materials. Ensure there is adequate space for the blind mechanism and the roller tube within your window recess or above it.
Care:
- Wipe the fabric gently with a slightly damp cloth to remove dust. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- The aluminium tube and metal brackets can be cleaned with a dry or slightly damp cloth.
- Periodically check that the side winder mechanism is functioning smoothly.
