What is a Front Roll Roller Blind?
A Front Roll Roller Blind places the shallower into the window. This increases the amount of space between the blind fabric and the window. In a front roll, the fabric rolls off the front of the blind.
Remove the Blind
1. Twist the clear plastic winder on the idle end to release the roller blind from the brackets.
Remove the Chain Drive and Idle End
2. Remove both the chain drive and idle end components
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.

Flip the Tube Around
