Doormat Roller blind guides

Functionality and characteristics of a Doormat Roller Blind Guide

A doormat blind guide is an accessory designed specifically for use with roller shutters. Its main function is to guide and protect the roller shutter when opening and closing the window. It consists of a sturdy metal or plastic profile that is installed at the bottom of the window, just below the roller shutter. The roller shutter guide mat helps to prevent the roller shutter from slipping out of position and provides stability during operation. It also protects the floor from damage caused by the roller shutter sliding up or down.

Benefits of using a Doormat Roller Blind Guide

• Increased stability: The roller shutter guide mat provides a solid and stable guide for the movement of the roller shutter, preventing it from swinging or slipping out of position.
• Floor protection: By creating a barrier between the roller shutter and the floor, the roller shutter guide mat helps to prevent possible damage caused by constant rubbing.
• Increased durability: By reducing wear and tear and impact, the roller shutter guide mat helps to extend the service life of the roller shutter.
• Easy installation: Most roller blind guide mats are easy to install and require no special skills.
• Enhanced aesthetics: In addition to its functionality, the blind guide mat can contribute aesthetically to the appearance of the window and provide a neat and tidy finish.

The installation of a roller shutter doormat is a relatively simple process. The following are the general steps for installation:

1. Preparation: Clean and dry the bottom surface of the window where the blind guide mat will be installed.
2. Measurement: Measure the width of the window and mark the positions of the mounting holes on the blind guide mat according to the manufacturer's instructions.
3. Drilling: Use a suitable drill bit to drill holes in the bottom surface of the window.
4. Installation: Align the blind guide mat with the holes and use the screws or fixings supplied to securely fix it in place.
