ROLLER BLINDS
SIDE CONTROL
Systems 32, 40, 45
|
The Side-Control Roller Blind Systems were developed to provide excellent performance over a wide range of window blind sizes, fabric weights and fabric thickness'. The manufacturing process does not involve the use of adhesives or sewing and always produces a clean and professional finish to the blind.
The three systems are designed for progressively larger and heavier blinds and the diameters of the sprockets for the control chains increase accordingly to enable larger blinds to be operated with the minimum physical effort. Additionally 'System 32' end sets are available in two versions with differing operating weights. Side-Control roller tubes and bottom bars are designed with patented, longitudinal fabric fixing slots of varying widths. The manufacturing method used ensures that the fabric will remain firmly attached to the roller and will not become detached in normal use. The varying widths of the slots allow fabrics of various thickness' to be accommodated easily. An added benefit of the slots is that they increase the rigidity of the tubes, enabling blinds to span wider openings without the risk of the tubes 'whipping' when the bind is operated.

Louvolite's" patented, safety-first end cap locking system prevents the blind from coming out of its brackets if the blind is operated incorrectly. These end sets have mounting brackets which are truly 'universal'. They can be top, face or side fixed and can be used for blinds with left hand or right hand controls. The ease of instantly switching end sets from one end of the roller to the other is an added benefit; plus the problems of having blinds supplied with the controls on the wrong side - or with the wrong brackets - are overcome
General Applications

Maintenance
Side-Control Roller Blind Systems are made in corrosion resistant plastic
and aluminium and are expected to prevent any problems if used under normal
circumstances in non-corrosive environments. The methods of construction
minimise damage caused by operator mis-use. Any damage which may occur
can normally be rectified easily on site.
* A cassette spring unit is also available for System 32 applications where this is deemed more appropriate. Full details available on request.
