Sheer Roller Blinds

Sheer Roller Blinds are a good practical choice for where privacy is required but daylight still desired. Great for bathrooms and street facing rooms where privacy is needed, they are much less fussy than traditional ‘nets’ and when up allow the window to be completely clear – unlike frosted window film which would of course always be in place. We frequently use them in conjunction with curtains for bedrooms where using them means that getting dressed in the summer does not require one to be plunged into darkness with the curtains closed.

Roller Blinds roll up neatly around a central core so that when fully rolled up they are very discreet. 

We generally advise that roller blinds are more satisfactory when fitted within a window recess or on the frame of a sash window. 

Tinsmiths Sheer Roller Blinds are supplied with brackets that can be either face fixed or top fixed, that is fixed to the window frame or fixed upwards to the top of the window recess. 

Measuring

We require

Width Measurement: Measure the recess at the top, middle and bottom (older properties can have variance), we need the smallest measurement obtained, this is the recess width. For sash windows we need the measurement of the space available to fit the blind. Do not make any deductions, our workroom will deduct what is necessary.

Length Measurement: Measure the recess from the top to the bottom. Do not deduct anything – this is the finished length of your blind.

Floor to Top of Blind Measurement: This is the measurement from the floor to the top of your blind. This measurement is required in order that we ensure that your blind fulfils the specification required by BS EN 13120 Child Safety regulation.

Other things to consider:

  • Whether you require a traditionally rolled blind or a reversed rolled blind. Reverse rolled blinds are sometimes chosen when a bold print is used and the back of the fabric (which is usually showing on the roll) is a strong contrast.
  • Which side you would like the controls to hang from
  • Whether you require a lined blind or a blackout lined blind

Fitting your Blinds

step 1

Roll direction

Check which side your control fittings are on, this will be on your original order and delivery note. The bracket with the cross in the centre is the ‘control bracket’ and should be fitted on the pull side. The bracket with a round hole at the centre is the ‘idler bracket’ and should be fitted on the side which does not have the chain control.

step 2

Idler Bracket

Fix the brackets on the correct sides, blind width apart plus 1cm – this is vital for the blind to pull up and down smoothly.

Step 3

Fix this Control End

If your blind is standard roll the first breakaway clip should be at the top and rear of the blind. If the blind is reverse rolled the first breakaway clip is at the top and front of the blind. Chains should arrive in the correct position.

step 4

Control End into Control Bracket

Offer up the control end of the blind and ensure that it is securely located. The solid ‘hood’ portion of the chain gear should be at the top of the blind with the chain hanging freely below.

step 5

Depress Opposite Sprung Roll End

Depress the opposite sprung roll end and snap it into place in the idler bracket.

Safety

Child Safety for Blinds:

  • Young children can be strangled by loops in pull cords, chains and tapes that operate this product.
  • To avoid strangulation and entanglement keep cords out of reach of young children.
  • Move cots, beds and furniture away from windows.
  • Do not tie cords together

Tinsmiths Tips & Tricks

If the blind does not raise or lower easily this might be because the brackets are too close together and not allowing the movement required.

If the breakaway clips on the chain breakaway or the chain is resisting this might be because the chain side of the blind is not located correctly with the solid ‘hood’ covering the chains gear at the top. It could also be because the brackets are too close together.
