Specification

Two L-shaped sections of rolled 20 gauge galvanised steel complete with pressed steel end cheeks from the blind box; all finished in a tough coat of matt black or white PVC scratch-resistant Plastisol.

The side guide system in 20 gauge galvanised steel also has a finished coat in the PVC Plastisol. The design combines a neat, narrow channel (see fig. 1b) with a profile for retaining the blind curtain. Rolled edges to all necessary metal sections prevent chaffing of blind curtain.

The bottom channel is of similar construction with built-in hard nylon pulleys for when the concealed cording system is used. Wrap-round corner brackets join bottom channel to side guides. Rod operated gearbox and electric motor operation (including remote control, if required) are also available.

The Blackout curtain is made from fibreglass core laminated to 3 layers of PVC vinyl. The fabric features a very high tear strength and is flame-resistant to BS 5867. All seams and joins are high frequency welded, and hard nylon buttons fitted through the edge of the curtain retain it securely within the neck of the guides.

The aluminium bottom bar (see fig. 1c) is attached top the blind curtain, and slots into the bottom channel to close the blind fully. It also prevents friction and wear of the blind curtain against the side guides during operation.
