SHADOW 24 is lead-free, REACH compliant, and comes with a five-year warranty under normal use conditions. It is customizable and cost-effective for various applications.

Care Instructions
Care instructions emphasize clean and dry hands, using gloves, and avoiding scrubbing or using solvents. Blinds should be raised during window cleaning to prevent chemical exposure.
