Product Information
Full details
The Caecus Straight Edge Roller Blind in Green is designed for homeowners seeking a stylish and functional solution for light control and privacy. Its key benefit is the ability to gently filter light while maintaining a good level of privacy. A potential caveat to consider is the material's dim-out rather than blackout capability, meaning some light will still penetrate.

FAQs
What does 'dim-out' mean for this blind?
Dim-out fabric significantly reduces the amount of light passing through, providing privacy and reducing glare, but it does not block light entirely like blackout fabric. Some ambient light will still filter into the room.
Can I cut the blind to a smaller width?
This guide does not provide instructions for altering the width. The fabric drop is adjustable, but width modifications are not recommended without specialized tools and knowledge.
How do I clean the fabric?
Dust regularly with a dry cloth. For light cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using strong detergents or soaking the fabric.
What is the maximum drop of the blind?
The fabric has a maximum drop of 160cm, which can be adjusted to your desired length.
Is the side winder mechanism reversible?
The side winder mechanism is designed for ease of use and child safety, typically installed on one side. Refer to the specific installation manual for any reversible options.
What are the bracket fixing options?
The included metal brackets can be used for top fixing (on the top of the window frame) or face fixing (on the wall above the window), and can be positioned inside or outside the window recess.
Troubleshooting
Blind does not lower or raise smoothly.
Check that the side winder cord is not tangled or obstructed. Ensure the blind is not catching on the window frame or sill.
Brackets feel loose after installation.
Re-tighten the screws securing the brackets. If the wall is soft, consider using wall anchors or a different fixing method.
Fabric is creased.
Lower the blind fully and leave it for a few days. Gentle steaming from a distance may help remove stubborn creases, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
