Product Information

Full details

This DIY Roman Blind Kit from New Edge Blinds is designed for individuals looking to create custom Roman blinds without purchasing an entirely pre-made solution. The primary benefit is the flexibility to choose your own fabric, allowing for complete design control. A key caveat is that fabric is *not* included, so this must be sourced separately. The kit provides all necessary hardware to construct a functional Roman blind, including a headrail, control mechanism, rods, and fixings, and is available in various widths that can be trimmed for a perfect fit.

FAQs

What is included in the Connect Roman Blind Kit?

The kit includes the headrail with hook tape, end caps, PVC clip-in wall supports, cord lock, umbrella pull cord, child safety cord cleat, 4mm fibreglass rods, oval bottom weight bar, hook on cord toggles, loop tape, pocket tape, wall screws, wall plugs, and warning labels.

Is the fabric included with the kit?

No, the fabric is not included. You will need to purchase your desired fabric separately.

What are the dimensions of the kit?

The kit is available in various widths from 60cm to 210cm, with a standard drop of 210cm. These can be cut down to fit your specific window size.

Can I use any type of fabric?

You can use most standard curtain fabrics. Consider the weight and drape of the fabric to ensure it works well with the Roman blind mechanism. Washable fabrics are recommended for easier maintenance, especially for kitchens or children's rooms.

How do I ensure child safety?

The kit includes a child safety cord cleat. This must be installed at a height that prevents children from reaching the cords, significantly reducing the risk of entanglement.

Can I cut the headrail and rods to a smaller size?

Yes, the headrail, fibreglass rods, and bottom weight bar are designed to be cut down to your specific window width. You will need appropriate tools, such as a hacksaw.

What tools do I need for assembly?

You will need basic tools such as a measuring tape, scissors, a fabric cutting tool (rotary cutter or sharp scissors), a hacksaw (for trimming metal/plastic parts), a screwdriver, and potentially a drill for wall mounting.

Troubleshooting

Blind cord is difficult to pull or jams

Check that the fibreglass rods are correctly inserted and not snagging the fabric. Ensure the fabric is not too heavy for the system and that the cord is routed correctly through all pulleys and the cord lock.

Blind does not hang straight

Verify that the wall supports are installed perfectly level. Check that the fibreglass rods are evenly spaced and that the fabric is attached symmetrically to the headrail.

Cord lock is not holding the blind in position

Ensure the cord is threaded correctly through the cord lock mechanism. Check for any debris or damage within the cord lock. If the cord is worn, it may need replacing.

Cannot trim the headrail or bottom bar

The headrail and bottom bar are typically made of aluminium or plastic and can be cut using a hacksaw or appropriate cutting tool. Ensure you measure carefully before cutting.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • All essential hardware is included, simplifying the DIY process.
  • Can be cut to size for a custom fit.
  • Includes child safety features for peace of mind.
  • Cost-effective way to create bespoke Roman blinds.

Cons

  • Fabric is not included and must be purchased separately.

  • White corded finish may not suit all interior decors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Prepare your chosen fabric according to the kit's instructions, ensuring it's cut to the correct size after considering the headrail and bottom bar dimensions.
  2. Attach the fabric to the headrail using the pre-fixed hook tape and pocket tape.
  3. Insert the fibreglass rods into the fabric pockets.
  4. Thread the control cord through the pulley system and secure it.
  5. Attach the bottom weight bar.
  6. Install the PVC clip-in wall supports at the desired height, ensuring they are level.
  7. Hang the headrail onto the wall supports.
  8. Install the child safety cord cleat at a safe height away from children's reach.

Compatibility:

This kit is designed to work with most standard curtain fabrics. The maximum width is 210cm, and the drop is 210cm. Ensure your chosen fabric is suitable for Roman blinds and can support the weight mechanism. The kit is compatible with most standard wall types when using the provided screws and plugs, but appropriate fixings for your specific wall material may be necessary.

Care:

The hardware components should be kept clean and free from dust. Wipe the headrail and plastic parts with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh cleaning chemicals. The fabric you choose will dictate its own care instructions. Periodically check that the cord mechanism is running smoothly and that all fittings are secure.
