JPM Fabric Collection 22 nd June 2012

Fabrics Important Information Fabric Wavering Large roller blinds will show fabric wavering, this is because it is impossible to make a large piece of fabric hang perfectly flat. This generally appears on roller with widths greater than 2000mm and/or drops greater than 3000mm.Consider splitting the blind into two smaller widths and linking them together. Cupping Roller blinds with block out fabrics will usually show some cupping on each of the vertical edges. Cupping of up to a few centimetres will be considered within acceptable allowance. Light Bleed All roller blinds allow light to pass around the sides of the fabric (even with block out fabric). Consider using face fit as an option rather than reveal fit. Fabric Patterns For a roller blind with a patterned fabric, the pattern grain won t usually line up perfectly with the horizontal or vertical edges of the blind. Expect to see variation of up to a few centimetres along the pattern direction from one side of the blind to the other.

Fabric Care & Maintenance Regular cleaning maintenance to preserve their integrity General Maintenance Most roller blinds simply require regular vacuuming (with an upholstery attachment) in order to keep them in top condition Stain Removal To remove wet embedded stains, sponge blind clean with a damp cloth. Use diluted washing liquid in warm water & avoid rubbing the stain. Do not immerse blinds in water. Spot Cleaning Small dry marks may be rubbed off quite effectively with a gum-based eraser (available in most art supply stores). If this fails, use the method described in the paragraph above. PVC Coated Fabrics Fabrics are particularly resistant to soiling and can be wiped, or vigorously rubbed with a soft cloth. These fabrics are also more tolerant to detergents than most, and can be treated with more caustic cleaners if absolutely necessary. Ultrasonic or Dry Cleaning Ultrasonic cleaning may lead to fabric shrinkage and/or distortion as it involves complete immersion in water. Read the fabric care label instructions carefully. Do not hand wash if dry cleaning is recommended? Mould Prevention Many of our fabrics are impregnated with mould repelling agents, however, under certain conditions even these preventative agents can be rendered ineffective. High levels of humidity inside your house can lead to mould growth on any surface, including your blinds. Mould is most commonly found in areas such as bathrooms, but any room could have a humidity problem When the warm air inside your home comes into contact with the cold glass of your windows, condensation can occur. This can trap a layer of moisture between your windows and your blinds and over time, may lead to the growth of mould. Proper ventilation is the simplest way to reduce humidity levels. However where this is not possible, installing a de-humidifier is a sure way to solve the problem.

Product Information Standard Roller Blinds - Rolling Directions Standard Roll Fabric rolls off BACK of tube towards glass Better light block - fabric hangs closer to window/glass, architrave or wall Best light block when face fitted using block out fabric NOTE; Roll will be visible which may not be acceptable if fabric back is a different colour e.g. white backed block out fabrics Reverse Roll Fabric rolls off FRONT of tube towards room Allows more light penetration around the sides of the blind, particularly in outside mount applications fabric sits further away from the window/glass Suited for window reveal installation Roll will not be visible so may be preferred option when fabric back is a different colour e.g. white backed fabrics
