Round braided cord
Cords with a round cross-section are required for both indoor and outdoor use. When selecting a cord for your application, ensure it is suitable in terms of weather resistance and stretch, for example in counterweight systems. In most systems, Dyneema cords are used for this purpose. However, these are not suitable for indoor use, as they are too stiff for Roman blinds and venetian blinds to ensure these lightweight systems operate smoothly.
Please note – the control cords and chains on internal sun protection must comply with current legislation. If longer control cords than previously used are employed, this requirement may not be met!
You can find the exact requirements in DIN EN 13120! If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact us by phone or email.
Please always measure the diameter of a cord using a vernier caliper (also known as a sliding caliper). Measuring with a ruler or folding rule is too imprecise for these products. If you do not have a suitable measuring tool available, please send us a sample of your existing item and we will find the appropriate replacement for you. Please note that tapes and cords always have a manufacturing tolerance of +/- 10% and must not be compressed when measuring.
