iseekblinds recommends a spring assist for all Roller Blinds greater than 1800 mm in width. A spring assist helps the blind glide smoothly up and down and takes about 50% off the weight of the blind. If you get your blinds home and realise you should have ordered a spring assist, Michael explains how you can purchase one and retrofit it yourself.

Hi Michael. Thank you for that great video. I just have one question... do you load the spring up with the blind rolled or unrolled? Thanks

@iseekblinds 2 года назад

Hi Tarek, Thanks for your query. The springs are loaded with the blind rolled up, and the tension should run in the opposite direction to the fabric. Mike suggests starting with about 5 turns, then testing to see if the tension is suitable. We hope that helps! Thanks, The iSeekBlinds team

My roller blind is to tight to pull up,what do I do?

@data811 3 года назад

Looking at your diagram, shouldnt you pre-tensioning the spring the same direction of the blind as it is coming down? That way the spring wants to go the opposite way helping you to pull the blind back up. Sorry Im comfused.

Hi! Thanks for asking. Pre tensioning a spring assist has always been in the opposite direction that the fabric is rolling. If your system is not Acmeda then you could try this method set by step, don't go too far at once, just feel the difference as you go. The Ideal is to look for an even assisted feel in both the up and down direction. I hope that helps. Cheers, Mike.

Is a spring assist the same as a spring loaded roller blind? The spring assist fitys inside a roller blind but what happens in a spring loaded roller blind?

@iseekblinds 3 года назад

Hi Tony, thanks for asking. Our spring assists helps in the movement of our chain driven roller blinds, especially when they are large. The spring assist lightens the weight, reducing the pressure on the chain mechanism when moving the blind up and down. Spring loaded roller blinds as a rule, don't have a chain drive, and instead rely on a spring tensioned clutch mechanism to hold the fabric in the desired position. The blind is lowered by pulling on a centrally fixed cord or hand grip on the bottom hem bar. The blind is retracted by a gentle tug on the cord. We hope that helps. ~ iSeekBlinds
