S1E is manufactured in stainless steel and reinforced
engineering polymers. PetScreen Lite, the tough PVC-coated
polyester mesh used in the insect screen, is hard wearing and
resistant to damage from pets and children. The mesh is easy to
clean and can be replaced (service call required). The blind is
available in blackout, privacy and shade fabrics.

Screen Maintenance

Screen fabric should be cleaned with a soft brush or a damp,
soft cloth.

Tracking should be regularly cleaned to prevent the build-up of
dirt and debris. A vacuum cleaner fitted with a nozzle is effective.

Operating mechanisms are fully self contained and do not
require maintenance other then keeping clear of dirt and debris.
