9. Suitable Locations Illusion Blinds look great in almost any situation. However there are some environments that should be avoided a. Very breezy or windy locations. [Fabric edges will be damaged]. b. In reach of pets or young children. c. Where blinds are continually moist. [Mildew will eventually form] d. In locations where chemicals are strong eg: chlorine from indoor pool or spa. e. Outdoors. f. Windows with controls that are reached for behind the blind. 10. Measuring. C A B D Fig 1 - Inside Mount Fig 2 - Outside Mount a. Inside Mount [Reveal Installation] SEE Fig 1. i. Measure inside Reveal at A [width] and B [drop]. It is important that A is measured where the Cassette will be installed as it is the widest part of the blind. [The Cassette is approximately 30mm wider than the fabric roughly 20mm the control side, and 10mm on the opposite end]. Clearance deduction for the width is 3 5mm. ii. Unlike other Roller Blinds, the drop measurement is critical to the correct function of the blind. There is some personal preference latitude here as to whether No deduction is made [Bottom Rail will sit on reveal] 5mm Deduction 10mm deduction Illusion Product Manual 01.10.10 Page 6
SUMMARY FOR INSIDE MOUNT DEDUCTIONS: Width - 5mm. Drop 5mm. b. Outside Mount [Face Installation] Measuring for Outside mount is not so critical UNLESS there are obstructions to take into account. i. Measure at C from Outside of Architrave to Outside of Architrave. NO DEDUCTIONS NECESSARY. [Additional width can be applied to ensure fabric covers architrave. For Fabric to cover the architrave the width ordered needs to be approx 30 35mm wider than measurement C. ii. Measurement D is from top of architrave to bottom of architrave. No deductions necessary. SUMMARY FOR OUTSIDE MOUNT DEDUCTIONS: None necessary. 11. Installation Installation Brackets are Universal [Both Inside and Outside Mount]. Brackets may be installed at any point along the Cassette preferably at a secure fixing point. [For low strength fitting situations, additional brackets to the recommended are advised]. At least one bracket should be located as near as possible to the control end of the blind to support the chain operation of the blind. It is vital that the brackets are fitted perfectly horizontal otherwise the blind will roll up crooked and fray the fabric edges. Incorrect installation voids warranty on frayed fabric. 12. Cleaning a. Cassette and Bottom Rails. Aluminium Surfaces can be cleaned with a clean soft cloth and normal household mild cleaning agent. Caution: Do not allow cleaning agents to come in contact with Fabric. b. Fabric. DO NOT USE CHEMICAL CLEANERS ON ILLUSION FABRIC. i. General Cleaning Your Elegance blind may gather dust and from time to time need cleaning. Use a hair dryer on cold to gently remove dust, or use an anti-static soft brush or cloth to gently attract dust from the fabric. ii. Spot Cleaning The Elegance fabric should be treated carefully and gently when spot cleaning. Use a damp cloth with a very mild detergent and gently dab the affected area. Harsh rubbing will remove the stiffening on the fabric and distort is surface. It is vital that the fabric not be creased during this process. iii. Trapped insects Occasionally insects may get trapped and die in the blind cells. Use a hair dryer on cold and blow through the ends of the cells to remove the insects. Leaving Illusion Product Manual 01.10.10 Page 7
13. Dye Lot insects inside the cells when drawing the blind up, may cause the fabric to mark Minor dye lot variations will arise from time to time. Basic precautions should be taken. a. Within an order. If blinds are immediately next to each other in the one location, it is advisable to state this when ordering. b. Subsequent orders. Should the same colour fabric be ordered at a later date, it is expected that there will be a dye lot variation. c. Swatches. When a customer selects a colour, they should be reminded that dye lot variation can happen, and the dye lot of the swatch will not be exactly the dye lot of the finished blinds. 14.
