And just so those people know I’ve already tested to make sure, but it doesn’t matter whether it’s facing inside or outside. It’ll take the damage from both sides, but if you were using this as a system to secure your house, while you are gone and away like it is intended to Normally people install it inside the house so that the motor is in the inside so no one can get inside the house because if you put it on the outside of the house like the lady was explaining is, it is on the hottest side of the house open to the elements so a you could burn out the motor the the motor can get waterlogged and corroded overtimesee the motor could burn out because of the hot temperatures and the last one somebody that wants to get in will be able to get in if they can get to the motorized mechanism
Hhaha fixing a blind that isn't rolling up and down correctly will cost you exactly, 1. A roll of paper style masking tape. 2. 1-5 minutes of your time. All you need to do is roll the blind all the way to the bottom exposing the tube at the top where the blind is attached. (Some blinds have a metal or plastic stopping bead which prevents the blind rolling all the way down . Easily remove this with pliers). Once the tube is exposed you place a piece of tape on either the left or right hand side of the tube depending on which way the blind is running wrongly . Eg if the blind is grinding against the left side while it's going up you will place tape on the right edge of the tube. Apply 1 or two small bits of tape on this side and roll up . If it continues to grind on the left side add more tape to the right side. If it over corrects and starts grinding on the right side just add some tape to the left edge of the tube. The smaller the piece of tape the less effect it will have. So just use trial and error. You don't need to pay to have someone come out.
Hi - One of our vanes/blades doesn't turn, but it's because the bit of gearing is broken that meshes with rod that runs the length of the blind (and rotates to spin the vanes). What are the repair options? Thanks.
Hi Colin. It could be the magnet is stuck up one end of the track, or the track doesn't have a magnet in it. The magnet is about 2.5cm x 1cm. Have a look for it and see if you can adjust it back to the middle. If that doesn't work, you may need to take it to a local blind manufacturer like us - Premier Shades to fix it for you. We are based on the Central Coast of NSW, Australia. www.premiershades.com.au
