Lifting & Lowering Problems

Cellular shade lifting and lowering problems
         
         
                                                                                                                             

  My cord loop broke. Can I glue it, melt it or sew it back together permanently?  

Possible Solutions
The device that is used to join the cords together is not available to the average person and rejoining the ends together with glue or heat will only provide a short temporary solution. As far as ordering the correct length, cord loops are measured by the total distance that you could stretch out a new unbroken cord loop.

  My shade is raising unevenly.  

Possible Solutions
Remove blind from head rail and manually lower shade to see if the cords or lift tape are tangled.
         
       
         
         
                                                                                                                             

  My blind is sagging in the middle or one of the sides.  

Possible Solutions
More than likely one of the cords or tapes inside the head rail has broken. Instructions for this repair are coming soon.

Fabric Problems

         
         
                                                                                                                             

  The cell on my shade are separating or becoming unglued. What type of adhesive can I use to fix this?  

Possible Solutions
There is no permanent repair for this. It’s time to purchase a new shade.
         
       
         
         
                                                                                                                             

  The fabric is torn. Can I replace just the fabric?  

Possible Solutions
No, you cannot. It’s time to purchase a new shade.

  When I raise and lower my shade, the back rubs up against the wall, trim or glass.  

Possible Solutions
You might need to remount your shade further away from the surface that is being rubbed. In some cases extension brackets or spacer blocks can be used to provide the additional clearance needed.

  I have free hanging cord loops on my shade, and I’d like them to be secured.  

Possible Solutions
1. If you had a company install these blinds, contact and ask them to install the proper tensioners. 2. If that isn’t an option, check with the Window Coverings Safety Council to see what they recommend. Browse our selection of tensioners here.
