After using for a period of time, the bamboo blinds will often be damaged in some parts such as broken strings, broken eyelets, or torn blinds…
People often encounter many cases of broken eyelets, so why do bamboo blinds often have this problem? Let’s go through the main causes as follows:
In the process of transporting, the bamboo blinds are often bumped, causing the blinds to break.
The blinds when folded incorrectly make the blinds too tight, causing the blinds to break, the strings to break or stretch.
Using the blinds improperly, placing them on a soft, uneven surface, stepping heavily on the blinds regularly can cause the strings to break and the eyelets to easily crack.
For cases where the blinds are broken or the strings are broken, you can choose one of the following ways to fix and repair if you don’t want to replace with a new blind.
When buying bamboo blinds, usually the manufacturer will include some spare eyelets to prevent the blinds from breaking a few eyelets during transportation and for replacement later.
When receiving the eyelets, you should carefully keep them when needed and to repair blinds with broken eyelets, you can do the following:
Keep the old string and add a new string
In the position where the eyelet is broken, you remove it and use a new eyelet to replace it immediately and use a string to tie it as usual to be able to use it. The disadvantage of this method is that the old string is outside, if using the blinds on the floor, with a lot of friction, the string may break. The advantage of this method is that it is simple, easy to do, and very fast.
The manufacturer often includes two eyelets so that you can replace them when they break.
Completely replace with a new string, re-weave the eyelets
You first remove the broken blinds, then cut the old string that has been broken and connect the prepared new string. Just attach the new eyelet and secure it with the knots and you have a new blind. This method brings high aesthetics to maintain the durability of the blind. However, to be able to do this, it takes a lot of time and effort.
In this method, the advantage is that the blind after replacement is in new condition, the string is not outside, and the eyelets are still intact. However, they have the disadvantage of taking a lot of time, requiring the skill of weaving and can be difficult for first-timers.
Keep the old string, replace the eyelet with the use of glue 502
First, you need to remove the broken eyelets from the blinds. Use a knife to split the new eyelet into two parts. Stick the two parts of the just-split eyelet in the correct position of the broken eyelet with wood glue or 502 glue.
The advantage is that the time it takes is very fast. However, if the blinds are soaked in water, the eyelets may be separated, in this case, you just need to use glue 502 to fix them.
You need to pay attention when using bamboo blinds because the strings are very delicate and easy to break or stretch.
Some notes when using bamboo blinds to avoid damage:
Do not lay the blinds on uneven or sharp surfaces.
Avoid bumping the blinds.
Do not expose the blinds to strong sunlight for too long.
Do not overlap the eyelets.
Do not pull the blinds too tight.
Above are some small tips to fix common problems in using bamboo blinds. You should also pay attention to take care of and avoid making mistakes when using bamboo blinds to prolong their lifespan.
