About this deal

Supports “up to 120kg” of weight is an almost meaningless statement; what it’s really saying in literal terms is that it will definitely not support 121kg of weight or above, but it is not saying how close to 120kg of weight it will most definitely support, nor for how long. First up, the weightbearing claim of No More Nails On A Roll mentioned above – 120kg is a reasonable chunk of heft. 120kg is almost twice my own weight (do not judge me, I’m tall and muscular) and a higher weight than the majority of standard-sized blinds you might buy. Unwanted Food or Drink Products - Once supply conditions are broken, there are a number of factors outside of our control that can affect the quality of a product. Therefore perishable goods such as food and drink cannot be returned. Also. No More Nails On A Roll “can support up to 120kg per roll.” Why am I repeating this? Because up to, and because per roll.

Can you put up a blind with No More Nails? No. You cannot put up a blind with No More Nails and have it work safely and effectively in the usual fashion.This UniBond No More Nails On A Rollis perfect for both indoor and outdoor use making it ideal for the home or office. This No More Nails roll is easy to use and is permanent; ensuring whatever you use it to put up will stay. So really for my money then and erring on the side of caution, can you put up a blind with No More Nails On A Roll and use it as normal? The party line of English Blinds is that we do not recommend using anything other than screws to hang blinds. For my part then without having had the benefit of their input, I want to state that you should view the caveats UniBond themselves have mentioned for using their product like this with the appropriate degree of respect, and take them very literally. What this statement means is that the strength of the whole roll can hang (up to) 120kg; so, to get the theoretical highest level of weightbearing the product claims to possess, you need to use the whole roll.

But I do caution you to bear in mind that “supports up to” actually means in literal terms only “will never support more than,” and doesn’t tell you an accurate weight it will definitely support (nor for how long), which is almost certainly because this can be highly variable, as you might expect. UniBond state that their No More Nails Tape – “No More Nails On A Roll” if you will – is “ideal for putting up blinds without drilling holes,” because it “has immediate grip and can support up to 120kg per roll.”

Can you put up a blind with No More Nails On A Roll?

In terms of functionality and whether or not your blind will actually stay up, can you basically put up a blind with No More Nails On A Roll? UniBond seem to be advocating this and they’re the manufacturer of the product, so the UniBond answer to this is yes, within the parameters that they state as limitations.

This tape is waterproof, temperature and UV resistant, meaning you can use this tape in a variety of places and not have to worry about them not lasting. This adhesive roll is 1.5 metres long, giving you plenty of tape to use. Here at Stapleswe have all your Tapes and Tapes Dispensersneeds covered at affordable prices.

Taking a closer look at the realities of putting up blinds with No More Nails On A Roll…

Why? Because drilling down now into the level of pedantic semantics that made me really unpopular at school, UniBond state that you can hang a blind with No More Nails On A Roll – but they don’t state that you can use/operate a blind hung with No More Nails On A Roll. Please. No. I mean, not from my/our point of view, being as mentioned a manufacturer and retailer of blinds; I/we will not honour any warranty for our blinds claimed on as a result of trying to No More Nails-a-blind to a wall. Now, this might sound like the UniBond guys are giving a very definitive “yes” to the aforementioned question of can you put up a blind with No More Nails or not, as long as you use the tape variant, but if you read their blurb again more carefully, there are a few seemingly-innocent caveats there that IMO, might be your downfall… Taking a closer look at the realities of putting up blinds with No More Nails On A Roll… With that said and in the interests of providing all of the available information you need to make an informed decision, it is my duty to inform you that the parents of both No More Nails and No More Nails On A Roll diverge from this view when it comes to the tape version of their deeply impressive nail substitute that I really rate highly. (UniBond are kind of big, so I’m going to try really hard not to anger them nor to give our legal department, population one, anything to worry about. I’m sure they’re lovely, so I’ll probably be fine…) Can you put up a blind with No More Nails?

Operating a blind places a level of pressure/weight on its headrail and fixings each time, and also causes movement/vibration, none of which is a problem for blinds affixed with screws; but all of which might well be a problem for any glue or glue tape-related product, particularly when said operation is performed repeatedly, such as if you open and close your blinds morning and night every day. UniBond, the No More Nails People, also agree that you cannot put up a blind with No More Nails, or more to the point, at no point in their literature or other online works can I find them suggesting that you can, nor recommending it, nor saying yes to any questions along the lines of “can blinds be hung with No More Nails.” Can you put up a blind with No More Nails On A Roll?

How to hang blinds without drilling

Ok, but can you put up a blind with No More Nails On A Roll? Again, this is a no from me in my opinion as a Blinds Person ( blinds person not blind person, though my idea of what constitutes nice shoes might make you wonder). But what if you’ve read this far and the tape option still seems to be on the table in terms of weights and surface areas, and the fact that UniBond said you could..? Can you put up a blind with No More Nails On A Roll and use it as normal? For reasons of hygiene and safety, personal grooming products, cosmetics or items of intimate clothing cannot be returned.
