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.

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;
