• Can I reuse my old spline when reskinning a roller blind?

  You can sometimes reuse the old spline if it is in good condition, but it is often recommended to use a new 7mm spline for a secure attachment, especially if the old one is damaged.

• How do I measure for face fit roller blinds?

  For face fit, measure the width where you want the brackets to sit (often on the architrave) and the drop from the top of the bracket to the desired bottom point. Refer to the specific measuring guides provided by Blinds Downunder for exact details.

• Are electrical or crank-operated outdoor blinds safe in wet conditions?

  It is advised not to operate crank sticks or electrical motors during electrical storms or wet conditions to avoid safety hazards, particularly around overhead powerlines.

• What should I do if my blind cord is loose?

  According to ACCC safety regulations, all loose cords must be secured with a child safety device (such as a cleat or tensioner) fixed firmly to the wall, at least 1600mm above floor level, to prevent strangulation hazards.
