SETTLING

All roman blinds settle out after installation. The fabric type, and the size and weight of the blind all affect the degree to which a blind settles out, and environmental factors also come into play. Because the process of settling out is unpredictable, the final drop of the blind may vary.

LIGHT BLEED

All roman blinds allow light to pass around the sides of the fabric (even when blockout fabric is used). This is because a small operating clearance must be left around both sides of the blind. To reduce light around the sides : if practical make the blind wider than it needs to be so that the blind covers more area around the window. Using a headrail with a smaller projection will also help to reduce the amount of light gaps at the sides of the blind.

PUCKERING

Puckering is completely normal and should be expected with all Classic blinds. Puckering results partly from the tension that the fabric is placed under when pockets are stitched into the fabric, and partly from fabric shrinkage. To reduce puckering : consider using the Plantation / Sewless styles instead of the Classic style.

PINHOLING (Classic style) 

If you order a Classic blind made from a blockout fabric, then pinholes of light will show through the blind wherever stitching occurs. To reduce light pinholes : consider using Plantation/Sewless styles instead of the Classic style.

PATTERN MATCH

If you order a roman blind made with a patterned fabric, please note that the grain of the pattern may not be perfectly horizontal or perfectly vertical. Blinds may exhibit up to a few centimetres of variation in the direction of the pattern from one side of the blind to the other. Sometimes the pattern may also give the impression that it is out of square at the points where the fabrics “rolls” into the batten pockets.

BLIND LENGTH

+/- 5mm is our standard manufacturing tolerance for widths and drops. We cannot accept claims for blinds made less than +/-5 mm outside the ordered make sizes.
