JPM Fabric Collection – 22nd 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.


jpm-speed.com

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

Measuring Guidelines Multiple Blinds on One Window

• Use standard measuring principles for INSIDE & OUTSIDE mount

• Factory will make appropriate deductions for link bracket (refer reference diagrams for information)

• Align gap with mullion for a better appearance & assist in light blocking.

• Check windows/doors are closed before measuring to mullion

• Measure & record the blinds from left to right

LINK BLINDS (in front of the window mullion or framing)

1. Measure each blind individually right up to each other

2. Write dimensions on paperwork & indicate if blinds are linked

3. Do not measure total width to be covered & divide by No. of blinds

– Blind widths will not always be the same

BUTTING BLINDS (Blinds fitting side by side not using link brackets)

1. Apply the same measuring principles as for the Linked Roller Blind &

state on the paperwork that the blinds are Butting together.

1. There will be a gap between the blinds - refer the “Side/Light Gap” notes in the specification
