4.1 Measurement Guide

Before ordering or installing, ensure accurate measurements. The method differs for Inside Mount and Outside Mount installations.

• Inside Mount:
  • Product Width (W) = Order Width - 0.2"

  • Window depth (D) ≥ 1 3/16"
  • Note 1: When Frame Depth < 1 3/4", the valence will stick out from the frame.
  • Note 2: Inside Mounted Blinds will have a 0.2" deduction on width by Graywind to ensure proper fit.
• Outside Mount:
  • Order Width (W) = Window Width + 3-6"

6. Care and Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Graywind Smart Natural Bamboo Blinds, follow these simple maintenance tips:

• Regular Cleaning: Dust the bamboo slats regularly with a soft, dry cloth or a feather duster. For deeper cleaning, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but ensure the bamboo dries quickly to prevent warping or discoloration.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or strong chemical solutions on the blinds, as these can damage the natural bamboo finish.
• Protect from Moisture: While bamboo is durable, excessive moisture can cause damage. Avoid installing in areas with high humidity without proper ventilation, or wipe down immediately if they get wet.
• Motor Care: The hidden motor requires no user maintenance. If you experience issues with motor function, refer to the troubleshooting section or contact customer support.
