Product Information
Full details
This Caecus Straight Edge Roller Blind in Green is ideal for homeowners seeking a balance of privacy and diffused natural light. Its primary benefit is the gentle light filtering that maintains room ambiance while obscuring direct views. A potential caveat is that it is a dim-out blind, not a blackout blind, so some light will still penetrate.

FAQs
What is the exact fabric drop length?
The fabric has a maximum drop length of 160cm. You can lower it to your desired length.
Is this blind suitable for a bathroom?
While the fabric filters light and provides privacy, it is not specifically treated for high-moisture environments. For bathrooms, blinds with higher moisture resistance are generally recommended.
Can I cut the fabric to a shorter length?
The blind is designed to be lowered to the desired length using the winder. Cutting the fabric is not recommended as it may fray the edges and will void the warranty.
What is the diameter of the aluminium tube?
The aluminium tube has a diameter of 25mm.
Does the blind come with all necessary screws for mounting?
The blind includes metal mounting brackets. However, screws and wall plugs suitable for your specific wall type are not included, as these vary depending on the wall material.
How does the 'childsafe' feature work?
The childsafe side winder is designed to break apart under significant pressure, preventing a dangerous loop from forming. It also ensures the cord is kept taut when not in use.
Will this blind block out all light?
No, this is a 'dim-out' blind. It filters light to reduce glare and maintain privacy but will allow some light to pass through, unlike a 'blackout' blind.
Troubleshooting
Blind does not lower or raise smoothly.
Check that the side winder mechanism is properly engaged and free of obstructions. Ensure the fabric is rolling evenly onto the tube.
Brackets feel loose after installation.
Re-tighten the screws securing the brackets. Ensure you have used appropriate wall plugs for your wall type if mounting directly to plasterboard or masonry.
Fabric is not hanging straight.
Ensure the top of the blind is perfectly level. If the issue persists, the fabric may be slightly unevenly rolled; try to unroll and re-roll it carefully.
Childsafe winder mechanism seems stiff.
Ensure the cord is not tangled and is correctly routed through the winder mechanism. Lightly lubricate the winder mechanism if necessary, using a silicone-based spray sparingly.
