Important Information
Fabric Patterns For patterned fabric, the pattern grain wont usually line up perfectly with the horizontal
or vertical edges of the blind. Expect to see variation of up to a few centimetres along
the pattern direction 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 fabric rolls into the batten pockets.
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 a little unpredictable, the nal drop of
the blind may vary by up to +/- 10mm
Light Bleed All blinds allow light to pass around the sides of the blind (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
(when face ftting) so that the blind covers more area around the window.
Using a head rail with a smaller projection will also help to reduce the amount of light
that sneaks around the sides of the blind.
Pinholing If you order a Sorrento or Kimono blind made from blockout fabric, then pinholes of light
will show through the blind wherever stitching occurs as there is no additional lining.
