What is a Back Roll Roller Blind?
A Back Roll Roller Blind places the fabric deeper into the window. This reduces the amount of space between the Blind Fabric and the window. In a back roll the fabric rolls off the back of the tube and into the window.
Remove the Blind
1. Rotate the clear plastic part to retract the female pin on the idle end.
Remove the Chain Drive and Idle End
2. Remove both the chain drive and idle end components.
Flip the Blind
3. Flip the Blind so that it enters the back roll position.
Roll up the Fabric
4. Use the bottom rail to roll up the fabric until you only have around 300mm of fabric remaining.
Remove the Fabric from the Tube
5. Carefully hold the fabric with one hand and gently remove the tube from the fabric.
Note
Other Roller Blinds may use a spline (thin piece of plastic) to attach the fabric to the tube rather than our heavy-duty tape. You will need to slide it out of the channel.
