FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

Cassette blackout Roller blinds are window treatments that feature a headbox or cassette at the top of the blind. This cassette contains the roller mechanism, ensuring that the fabric is enclosed and fully retracts into the cassette when not in use. This design provides a sleek, streamlined look to the blind and helps to prevent light from entering through the sides of the fabric, making them ideal for use in bedrooms, nurseries, and other spaces where light control is important.

At Direct Fabrics, we offer a range of cassette blackout blinds in different styles and colors to suit any decor. Our blinds are made from high-quality materials and are designed to provide reliable light control and privacy.

Cassette blackout blinds offer several benefits, including:

  • Effective light control - the cassette design prevents light from entering through the sides of the fabric, ensuring maximum light blockage.
  • Increased privacy - the fabric is fully enclosed within the cassette, providing an additional layer of privacy.
  • Sleek, modern design - the cassette design provides a streamlined look to the blind, making it an attractive addition to any room.
  • Easy to operate - the roller mechanism is fully enclosed within the cassette, making it easy to raise and lower the blind without the risk of the fabric becoming caught or tangled.

Cleaning cassette blackout blinds is easy and straightforward. Here are the steps to follow:

  1. Dust the blind with a soft, dry cloth or a feather duster to remove any loose dirt or debris.
  2. For spot cleaning, use a damp cloth or sponge with a mild detergent to gently wipe away any stains or marks on the fabric.
  3. For more thorough cleaning, remove the blind from the window and lay it flat on a clean surface. Use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to remove any dust or debris from the fabric.
  4. For deep cleaning, you can also soak the fabric in warm water with a mild detergent and then rinse thoroughly with clean water. Hang the blind to dry completely before re-installing it on the window.
