Problem
The shade is hard to raise or lower, or will not raise or lower.
Solution
Make sure the fabric is not caught in the installation brackets.
Check that the headrail and installation brackets are level and aligned in the
window. Level the headrail by shimming the installation brackets, if necessary.
Problem
The front fabric appears to cling to the back fabric.
Solution
With the shade in the closed/lowered position, lightly apply a static spray for
home furnishings. Follow the manufacturer’s directions on the can’s label.
Follow these steps:
1. Hold the can 6" to 8" from the fabric panel and lightly spray across the
fabric folds.
2. Raise and lower the shade 1 or 2 times to check for static reduction.
3. Allow the shade to dry in the fully closed/ lowered position.
If necessary, reapply the static spray each time the shade is professionally
cleaned.
Problem
The fabric folds are wrinkled, creased, or gather unevenly.
Solution
Similar to clothing, Vignette
®
shades may require dressing throughout the life of
the shade. Dress the fabric by opening and closing your shade(s) several times
to realign the fabric folds.
The folds may also be dressed by hand with a gentle tug on each edge of the
fabric fold(s) where indentations appear.
Steaming Vignette Shades
For deeper wrinkles and creases, light steaming may be required. In lieu of
steaming, commercially available wrinkle release sprays may be used. Only the
face side of the shades should be sprayed, not the back liner. Depending on
style and fabric, slight wrinkles, puckers or other fabric variations may remain
and are inherent to this product. Do not steam the fabric on the headrail, middle
rail, bottom rail, or back liners.
CAUTION:
Do not steam the fabric on the headrail, middle rail, bottom rail, or
back liners.
