FAQs
Does the 210cm measurement include the brackets?
Yes, the 210cm dimension is the total width, including the fixtures. The fabric itself is slightly narrower.
Can I install this on a ceiling?
Yes, the provided top-fit brackets allow for ceiling mounting as well as standard wall mounting.
How do I clean the fabric?
Use a damp, clean cloth to wipe the fabric. Do not soak the blind or use harsh detergents.
Is the drill included in the package?
No, you must supply your own drill and basic hand tools for the installation.
Can I return the blind if I cut it?
Typically, once a product is altered or trimmed, it is no longer eligible for a standard return; check your retailer's specific policy.
How do I ensure a full blackout effect?
For the best result, mount the blind outside the window recess so the fabric covers the surrounding wall by a few centimeters on each side.
Troubleshooting
The blind hangs unevenly when lowered.
Check that the mounting brackets are perfectly level and correctly aligned using a spirit level.
Light is leaking from the sides of the blind.
This is common with inside-recess mounts. To resolve this, re-install the blind outside of the window recess with a wider overlap.
The blind is too wide for my window frame.
The blind can be trimmed at home to fit; carefully measure the desired width and follow the manual for cutting the roller and fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires a drill, a pencil for marking, and a spirit level to ensure a straight mount. Begin by measuring your window area—remembering that the 210cm width includes the mounting brackets—and decide whether to use top or face-fit brackets. Once the brackets are secured, click the blind unit into place. For care, avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges. Simply wipe the surface with a damp, soft cloth to maintain the fabric's appearance. If the blind is slightly too wide for your frame, it can be carefully trimmed using a sharp blade and a metal ruler, following the provided instructions closely to avoid damaging the fabric weave.
