Blind Warranties Explained: What Should Be Covered?

A warranty is most useful when it clearly states which product parts are covered, for how long and who will put a problem right. Fabric, motors, controls, hardware and installation may each have different terms.

Read the guide

Product cover can be split into several parts

A blind is a combination of materials and mechanisms. The fabric might have a different warranty period from the motor or headrail, and natural fading or accidental damage will usually be treated differently from a manufacturing fault.

  • Fabric and coatings
  • Headrails, tracks and brackets
  • Motors and batteries
  • Control handsets or hubs
  • Workmanship and installation

Read the care and operating conditions

Warranty cover normally assumes that the blind is used and maintained as instructed. Excess moisture, force, unauthorised alterations, unsuitable cleaning products or moving a fitted product to another window may affect a claim.

Ask who handles the claim

A local fitted service should explain whether you contact the branch, installer or manufacturer. Keep the quotation, invoice and product details, and photograph any fault before attempting a repair.

Blind Screen warranty example

The current Blind Screen manufacturer leaflet states a five-year warranty on hardware and a three-year warranty on fabrics. The full manufacturer terms and the specific product supplied still govern any claim.

Frequently asked questions

Are all Just Blinds products covered for the same length of time?

No. Cover varies by product, collection, manufacturer and component. Your written quotation should identify the warranty applying to the chosen specification.

Is fading covered?

Some colour change is a natural effect of sunlight and may be excluded. Ask about light-fastness and fabric-specific terms if the window receives strong sun.

Does a warranty transfer to a new homeowner?

Not always. The terms may limit cover to the original purchaser and installation address.
