Product Information
Full details
This Caecus Straight Edge Roller Blind in Electric Blue is designed for homeowners seeking a stylish and functional window covering that balances ambient light filtering with privacy. Its key benefit is the ease of installation and operation, with a child-safe winder and adjustable drop. A potential caveat is that it's a dim-out fabric, not blackout, meaning some light will still penetrate.

FAQs
What does 'dim-out' fabric mean?
Dim-out fabric reduces the intensity of light entering a room and provides privacy, but it does not block all light like blackout fabric. Some light will still filter through.
Can I cut the blind to a shorter width if needed?
The product description does not mention width adjustability. This guide focuses on the provided drop adjustment. For width alterations, please consult a professional or refer to specific instructions if available.
What is the total length of the blind fabric?
The fabric offers a length of 160cm drop that can be lowered to your desired length.
What material are the brackets made of?
The blind comes with metal mounting brackets.
How do I clean the Electric Blue fabric?
Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the fabric. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
Is this blind suitable for a bathroom?
The fabric is designed for light filtering and privacy. For humid environments like bathrooms, ensure adequate ventilation to prevent moisture buildup on the fabric and mechanism.
How is the child-safe winder different from a standard winder?
A child-safe winder typically features a mechanism that keeps the pull cord short and taut, reducing the risk of entanglement. The cord is usually attached securely and does not hang loosely.
What is the diameter of the aluminium tube?
The blind is mounted onto a 25mm diameter aluminium tube.
Troubleshooting
Blind does not lower or raise smoothly.
Check that the side winder mechanism is not obstructed. Ensure the aluminium tube is properly seated in the brackets. Clean the winder mechanism if dust or debris is present.
Brackets feel loose after installation.
Ensure you have used the correct type and length of screws for your wall or frame material. Re-tighten the screws securely.
Fabric is creased or wrinkled.
Extend the blind fully and leave it for several hours. For stubborn creases, a gentle steam from a distance may help, but test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid ironing directly.
Child-safe winder cord is tangled.
Carefully untangle the cord. Ensure the cord is always kept taut during operation to prevent tangling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Determine the mounting location: inside the window recess, outside the recess, face fixing, or top fixing.
- Attach the easy-fit metal brackets to the chosen surface using appropriate screws (not included).
- Insert the aluminium tube into the brackets, ensuring it is securely seated.
- Adjust the blind's position to your desired length by pulling the side winder.
Compatibility:
- Designed for standard window sizes where a 160cm drop is sufficient.
- Brackets are compatible with most wall and window frame materials (ensure appropriate fixings are used).
Care:
- For cleaning the fabric, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Gently operate the side winder to extend and retract the blind to prevent premature wear.
