Product overview
About this product
The Elite Roman headrail uses a breakaway mechanism in the operating-chain assembly. It is designed to release under the intended conditions and allow the chain to be reinstated using the correct procedure. This provides a different control-safety arrangement from a conventional chain fixed to a separate tensioning device.
The mechanism is available in 1:1 and 1:4 gearing. A cord ring and brass-collar arrangement support the lift cords, while the headrail can be supplied assembled or with the additional rods, bottom bar and rear-cord adjusters used when making the blind. The selected gear ratio and fabric must suit one another.
Rear cords on the fabric are a separate consideration from the chain mechanism. The finished blind still needs appropriate rear-cord safety devices and a suitable installation. Send the fabric and lining details with your enquiry so AdamsBlinds can confirm the intended kit, the brackets and whether a compatible fascia should be included in the specification.
Choose the complete safety arrangement
Let us know the intended setting and how the blind will be installed. We will specify the suitable control and rear-cord components together rather than treating the headrail as the whole finished blind.
