SOLUTION
1
Prominent smile across fabric
Not enough tension in side guides
Cut new fabric skin and weld zip onto fabric ensuring
temperature is not too hot. Refer to Assembly manual for
welding tips.
Fabric is not installed straight
Ensure fabric is assembled straight onto tube and weight
bar.

Ripples along sides of fabric

Fabric not central to system
Remove rivets around the ripple area and reposition inner
rail and secure
Too much tension in inner rails
Check fabric is centred with system. If the fabric is not centred
with the system, centre the fabric. The Side Rails may
need to be removed to correct. If fabric cannot be centred,
check scallop in fabric is large enough for installation
(refer to Assembly manual for scallop sizes). If the fabric at
the scallop is flush with the edge of the tube and the fabric
cannot move sideways any further, increase size of scallop
in fabric.
Fabric is too wide for installation
Check actual installation width dimension matches the
measured blind width.
If the installation width does not match the measured blind
width:
• Correct installation width to match measured blind width
or
• Correct fabric width to correct size (based on actual
installation width)
Note: Tube and weight bar may also require correcting.
If the installation width matches the measured blind width:
Check overall fabric width from external zip edge to external
zip edge and ensure it is W-66mm (W being completed blind
width).
If required, correct fabric width.
Not enough weight in weight bar.
Refer to product specs. Add ballast.
Note: for spring operated blinds, the number of pre-turns
will most likely need to be increased.
Spring operated blinds
It is more common for there to be some ripples in spring
operated blinds.
To reduce the number of ripples evident, pull the blind
down softly and lock into position.
Not enough pre-turns in spring
Increase number of pre-turns on spring.
Installation is not square
Check overall width of U-mounting rail and inner rail is
within 42-62mm.
Check inner rails are level & parallel. If either of the above
checks are not in accordance with specifications, the
installation space requires additional packing. The side rails
or entire systems may need to be removed to correct.
Fabric permanently damaged due to

Small ripples close to weld
Welding temperature is too high on zip
Cut new fabric skin and weld zip onto fabric
ensuring temperature is not too hot.
Refer Assembly manual for welding tips.

Weight bar end cap hits Inner Rail
Check there is always approximately 3mm
(0.12”) gap between Weight Bar End Cap and
Inner Rail.
If there is insufficient clearance, check:

• The weight bar length is cut in accordance
