A small selection of roller blind fabrics can be joined to achieve a larger size. If a join is possible, the details will be displayed in the product description. Joins are always horizontal and positioned as close to the top of the blind as possible. To achieve a join two pieces of the roller fabric are overlapped and then stitched or bonded, depending on the fabric. The image below shows a roller join on a plain blue fabric.

If the Perfect Fit Pleated Blinds will not stay up, additional tension is required. To add tension please follow the steps below;
- Remove the blind from the window and lay face down.
- Remove the shoe tab securing the cord to the bottom of the Perfect Fit frame.
- Inside the shoe a shim can be moved to increase the tension to the cord.
- Refit the shoe to the bottom of the Perfect Fit frame and repeat the process on the opposite side.
- If additional tension is required, the cord can be re-knotted to the shoe shim shortening the cord length thus increasing the tension further.
Please ensure the blind is operating as required before cutting any excess cord off.

The tension for Perfect Fit Roller Blinds can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the “wrap tension”. Please follow the steps on page five for the Perfect Fit Roller Blinds measuring and fitting instructions found here or follow the steps below.
For the fabric to roll up, we need to add ‘wrap tension’ at the top of the blind.
1. Pull down the blind (do not manually push back up as it needs to raise naturally with the tension)
2. Carefully insert a 4mm allen key or angled allen drive attachment (R9002 as shown) into the hexagon slot in the control end, being careful not to push the screw out.
3. Turn ‘anti-clockwise’ to add tension until the blind starts to lift.
4. Tension is complete when the blind is fully opened.
5. Push the worm retaining clip into the hexagon slot to secure the tension.
Ensure the bottom bar end caps are positioned in the Perfect Fit frame channel furthest from the window.
Perfect Fit Roller Blinds are operated by tilting the bottom bar back to raise/lower the blind and setting the bar straight to lock. The end caps compress within the channel to secure the blind at the required level.
Please note if the bottom bar end caps are not sliding within the channel furthest from the glass the blind will not hold. The image below highlights (red section) the correct channel the bottom bar end caps should slide within. The bottom bar can then be tilted to raise/lower the blind;
If your spring operated roller blind will no longer retract, follow the steps below to re-tension the spring;
Faber System
- With the blind installed in the brackets pull the blind down approximately 30cm.
- Remove the blind from the brackets and roll the blind up by hand.
- Refit the blind and check for tension.
- The above steps may need to be repeated several times to achieve the required tension, being careful not to over tension
Alternatively;
- Remove the blind from the brackets.
- Insert a screwdriver into the cross-end (spring end) and turn to tension the spring, being careful not to over tension.
- Ensure the spring locks off before removing the screwdriver.
- Refit the blind.
- If additional tension is required, repeat the steps above.
Louvolite System
- When the blind is pulled down, push the front locking pin in.
- Gently remove the blind from the brackets and roll back up by hand.
- Refit the blind in to the brackets noting the correct fitting position as indicated on the end of the blind.
- Pull the locking pin to the out position being careful not to fully remove the pin.
- Pull the blind down to check tension.
- If additional tension is required repeat the steps above.
