HONEST LIMITATIONS (BECAUSE WE LIKE TO KEEP IT REAL)
Not available in PVC — designed for mesh or fabric only.
Widths over 5.8m may show slight wrinkling or veeing (normal for large fabric spans).
The bottom rail moves freely — it’s unguided, so expect some swing in windy conditions. This design also allows for natural air movement and improved ventilation.
Fabric joins on wider blinds may show slight puckering.
Golden rule: always retract in strong winds or storms—nature always wins.
