There is no information available on what type of lift cord is used with Roman shades, but this lift cord is very strong for 2" wood blinds and should work fine. It is not like that. A key point to remember is to find out exactly how thick the lift cord that you'll be replacing is (in mm). Approximately 1 inch of cord is in this lift cord. Approximately 8mm thick. You can find a formula on the internet to figure out what diameter lift cord you need, such as ". The measurement you need for a lift cord string is based on how you wrap your existing one You can measure the width of 10 strands of a string by wrapping it around a round object (such as a pencil). It is important to know the thickness of blinds or shades, since this affects the way they are operated to open, close, lift, and remain raised. Here is a translation I hope
There is a cord of 4 yards (5. 572.2 meters) in length by 1.1 meters in width. The diameter of the crystal is 8 mm (7/100th of an inch).
The fabric is synthetic and can be used outdoors because it's tough, and is better resistant to weather than cotton/cotton blend materials, but the UV rays degrade the fabric, and it fades over time. When the sun is directly overhead, they all glow.

My original cords were thicker, but I get the same amount of strength from this cord. After wetting the shredded end, I threaded it like thread through a needle by twisting or wrapping it around the The ends do not have to be melted. I seem to be able to get by with my flimsy tightener, even though it's thinner. 15 is the age of mine. If I need to, I can nudge the clasp shut with my finger. Though it would have been more attractive with a thicker cable like the original, this one works fine. Luckily, I had other blinds that were similar so I could follow that path. Cheap with plenty of leftovers to use in the future.
You will need to use a flame to seal the fraying end of the cord when you cut it. The cord is made of nylon. When replacing my old worn out cord, I noticed the end was about 20% larger than the end where it had not been stretched or worn out. When I bought this cord, I measured the middle of my old worn out cord and it was the same size. As a result, measure the cord at the end of the blind and buy the right size. At the end of the blind, the cord was stiff, was cotton inside, and did not compress, so it let the brake wheel grip it, holding I bought it a little undersized, so it slips right past the brakes and the blinds do not stay up. It is softer, a bit slippery, and I bought it a little soft. The blinds are now held up by a cleat I use to wrap the cord around. This might be of some help.
Our old blinds had a unraveled cord on one side and we were going to have to purchase new ones. This cord is a perfect size and color for the wooden blind we replaced the cord on. We are so glad we found some YouTube videos to replace the cord on the be sure to use a lighter and a lighter to smudge the tips, after which you should roll them to prevent fraying and to encourage You can use old cord if you still have it, just singe them both and attach them end to end one by one, then roll them with your fingers to tie Once you have removed the old one and inserted the new one, you can just pull those two things out together. Thank you for your effort!.
As compared to the original cotton, the cord is just the right weight and appears more durable. I find the shading of this color to be lovely in combination with the variegated browns used in the blinds. I do not like the plastic ends that came with the original blinds. The wooden pulls are better looking and much more durable. A spool of this size should have more pulls, but the manufacturer only includes five with a spool of this size. In general, you would need to replace this much cord on more than one set of blinds if you bought this much cord. Once you have your new wooden pulls installed on your replacement cords, you will want to replace them on each window you have those blinds on. There's now only one pull I have left. Would it not be better if it were Several manufacturers of the white cord offer it on Amazon. How much do they cost? And at the very least, we should make those pulls available as separate purchases. The wood blinds are scattered throughout the house, so I'd like to swap out all of them for one made of wood.
If you just replace one lift cord, it won't remain up equally. I learned you should replace all lift cords, not just the one that broke. I did not do this before, so it took me about 15 minutes to replace the broken cord. In the case of replacing the frayed cord, I only needed 5 minutes because I joined the frayed and new cord together, and I did not need to thread it It should be very easy to repair your blinds lift cord if you watch videos.
I liked how easy it was to install, and it worked well. Don't forget to carefully singe the cut end of the cord before trying to get it to pass through the little loops, corners, happy with the blinds and they look great with them.
As bamboo blind cords are exposed to the sun, they eventually deteriorate. I've found the cord on my bamboo blinds is a bit shorter than the original cord. Restringing three door blinds (so the window blinds probably took longer than the door), was easy. I was able to restring my guitar without any difficulty. It will be durable after a restring but I have not seen it yet. My blinds were restored to their former glory after I invested $10.
The cord is very thin and I expect to have to replace it very often. However, it did the trick. As much as I appreciate the large amount of cord that came with the kit, I have to store the excess cord (which is on a large spool), since I used less than an eighth of it. Additionally, I think it was too expensive for the quality, since I can already see fraying in the cord after using it for only a few months.
