Important Installation and Maintenance Advice for your Blinds/Roller Blinds and Curtains
It's important to check blinds, roller blind and curtains function, after you have fitted. Make sure the fabric/materials do not rub on brackets or blind hardware or any other obstructions.
Common reasons these issues may occur are, brackets are not installed level or window and door frames may be out of square.
How can you fix this problem when a Roller Blind fabric is running on the tube?
1) Slowly Roll fabric off tube. Once you reach tube, you may also like to add a thin piece of masking tape around 40mm length at the top of tube, opposite to the side the blind fabric is running out. There is no science as to how much masking tape will be required, more trial and error. One small run of tape makes a massive change and is the easiest way to ensure blind will run freely from brackets and cord controls.
2) If this fails you may wish to place level on blind tube and try adjust bracket heights to suit (Level).
Example of issues that can occur; If fabric doesn't run evenly on tube.

The finish result was the blind fabric frayed and became caught in the cord control. The blind was now non functional once this had occurred.
