Standard blind warranties include protection against manufacturer defects. They do not include damage due to wear and tear. Most warranty issues arise within the first few days of installation, however, occasionally things do show up after the blinds have been in place for a while. Most manufacturer’s will cover the cost of replacing or repairing the defective part for a limited period of time, but they will not cover labour costs for the removal and re-installation once it is repaired. They typically don’t cover the cost of shipping the product back to them for repair or replacement either.
