I'm sure everyone will have had or are about to get the latest stabilising chains through for their verticals.
They are smaller than the usual ones, are pointy at the top and are hard to get on as a result. As they are pointy they also dig into your thumb.
Horrible.
I have spoken to HQ about them and apparently there has been an email sent to the component purchaser. Perhaps if we could all complain to hq they might change them to ones that do not shred your fingers!

I have fitted a conservatory with wooden venetians, 12 in total. The valances were all in one length to cover from side to side. Customer phoned me, the valances keep on falling down, the velcro strips' glue is melting because of the heat in the conservatory. Can anybody give me an idea how to fit the valances back on head rails and with what can I fix it, that would be heat resistant?

Normally wouldn't sell wood ven for conservatory as a natural product and will end up warping/bowing with all tha sun and heat. The new velcro is extremely strong so must be a very hot conservatory. Try selling them roof blinds to cool it down! |

Can anybody give me an idea how to fit the valances back on head rails and with what can I fix it, that would be heat resistant? I agree with Karen about potential problems with Woodens in conservatorys. and usually recommend Aluwood (pretty much the same price anyway). If you can't sell them roof blinds try this............ One way to fix the valances would be with silicone sealant applied with a sealant gun, in small dabs along the length and held in place with masking tape until sufficiently "cured" (about an hour or so). The benefit of this is that it will hold in the temperatures found in a conservatory but is still removable with a reasonable amount of effort (unlike a glue product that would be almost impossible to remove, if required). Give it a go at home first to check the curing period before you apply it on site. Hope this helps and post to let us know if it is successful if you use this method. kakalanka |

I like the idea of silicon fix - the trouble is YOU have to pay for it - when really hillarys are LIABLE ! If i were you - walk away from a similar order in the future - Imagine if Hillarys start a five -ten year warranty ! |
