No. It is not recommended that you leave awnings out during storms. Increased winds, hail and heavy rain can cause damage to your blind. You should always retract your blind if you know a storm is on the way.

Alternatively, installing a wind and rain sensor will help to protect your awning even when you are not home.

Please note that sensors are not a guaranteed method of protection for your awning and cannot be relied upon to respond quickly in the case of sudden squalls.

Regular cleaning every 3 months to ensure the fabric is free from dirt, dust and grime. Clean your blind with a soft brush. Run a soft brush across the fabric in both directions including the side channel to prevent build up of dust and grim on your tracks.

Stick to warm soapy water using a silicone-based detergent—like a premium car wash. Avoid anything abrasive or acidic, such as harsh dish soaps or bleach-based cleaners; these can damage finishes or degrade material quality.

Operate the blind at least once a week to prevent build up of dirt and grim that will inhibit the operation.

Try to avoid the following:

• Leaving the Roller Glide® blind down when you are away from your home or in extreme weather conditions.
• Avoid rolling the Roller Glide® blind up when wet (to avoid mould and mildew)
• Please do not leave the Roller Glide® blind down when you are away from your home or in extreme weather conditions.
• You must not force the Roller Glide® blind up or down if it is jamming. Forcing the Roller Glide® blind may result in further damage (for example, the zip may be forced out of the side channel.
• Do not operate spring controlled Roller Glide® blinds from the sides – always use the Weight Bar or Handle and pull from the centre.

• Depending on the fabric selection, when the Roller Glide® blind is initially pulled down some ripples may be evident. The ripples will lessen over time as the weight of the blind will stretch the fabric slightly and the ambient temperature will heat the fabric within an hour or so (depending on the weather).
• When a motorised blind is operated, some ‘jolting’ may be evident. This effect is due to wind gusts causing spontaneous friction between the zip and side guides.
