Fraying of blinds can occur at the cutting stage if incorrect cutting tools are used. For instance, if the knife is blunt, the risk of fraying the blinds is very high. Similarly, if you choose scissors to cut, it is advisable not to close the blades fully to attain a clean, straight cut without frays.\r\rThere are a few techniques and practices you can apply to avoid fraying when cutting roller blind fabric. When disassembling the fabric from the rods, do it with the utmost care and as slowly as possible. Being careful will prevent damaging the edge.\r\rWhen marking the line along which you intend to cut, spread out the material on a flat surface completely. Similarly, when cutting, ensure the fabric is well spread out. Most importantly is the cutting tool you are using. It should be as sharp as possible so that it gives you a straight edge and does not damage the fabric.\r\rFraying of blinds can also occur over time due to the age and action of opening and closing the blinds. If this happens to your blinds, unmount them from the wall. Spread it out and start by cutting off the frayed threads. Apply a fray stop glue to the affected area or all the sides to prevent them from fraying as well. Leave the glue to dry overnight or as per the product guide. The fray stop glue is available in shops or online.","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"Can you shorten a roller blind?","text":"Windows provide light and helps to air a room.

On larger pipes, though, you may need to use thicker pieces of Teflon tape, as a thin tape will not provide the same strong connection that a thicker piece will. \r\rAs the name implies, the main purpose of this material is to ensure a firm connection between your plumbing lines (or other any other plumbing fittings) so that there are no leaks or other problems. This means that over time you might have to replace some areas where the pipes meet, or a pipe meets the fitting, to ensure that there aren't any weak spots due to wear and tear on the exterior surface area. Usually, this kind of wear requires only a few wraps around the area so it should not be too costly in terms of time or the amount you spend on Teflon tape. It can also be used to connect threads together and a secure seal that you can tighten if need be by applying more tape, hence the name thread seal tape.\r\rWhenever you apply Teflon tape, whether it is on a pipe that you are installing or one that has already been created, make sure to keep the lifespan of the thread seal tape in mind when putting the pieces together.

Lodged a complaint with Aust Post and it was finally put into the post and recieved within 4 days. The material is like a cheap shiny towel. The edging is atrocious. Poor quality for such a high price item. Will never order from this company again."}},"ReviewAsset:cl3ch22q0000409ldg5qnaiyc":{"id":"cl3ch22q0000409ldg5qnaiyc","__typename":"ReviewAsset","reviewId":"cl3ch22nw000309ld3oyb17kw","url":"https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/ls-asset-service/cl3ch13j8002c09mhay7ygypr/cl3ch13j8002d09mh7vwbf0wy","review":{"__typename":"Review","rating":1,"displayName":"Tina Worrell","message":"Order took over 2 months to get here.

The piping and back panel is brilliant white and very obvious, so on a dark quilt cover it is a huge detraction. Fabric is lovely, but pointless if you can’t use the product. If you have plenty of bright white in your home then you will be pleased with this product. For those of us who do not have brilliant white in our home, you will be bitterly disappointed."}},"ReviewAsset:ckwbph04c000409mkaleyfqjz":{"id":"ckwbph04c000409mkaleyfqjz","__typename":"ReviewAsset","reviewId":"ckwbph039000309mk6zcl8cgs","url":"https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/ls-asset-service/ckwbpeecu001o08mn9gyzgo42/ckwbpeecu001p08mn44kngbm8","review":{"__typename":"Review","rating":5,"displayName":"Allan Daniell","message":"Best hobby shop in the region by far.\nGreat service and the prices are the best in town."}},"ReviewAsset:ckq25fvgc000508l2324ifoqq":{"id":"ckq25fvgc000508l2324ifoqq","__typename":"ReviewAsset","reviewId":"ckq25fvev000308l2hvo8hepv","url":"https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/ls-asset-service/ckq25f8v7000308kzhjjsabu3/ckq25f8v7000408kz2xre6gny","review":{"__typename":"Review","rating":5,"displayName":"Linda Hilton","message":"Great service, reasonable prices looks amazing"}}}
