2. If for some reason (e.g. kids misusing) the combi blinds breaks or had a problem (e.g. in its mechanism), the whole blinds will need to be repaired leaving your whole window exposed.
3. There is a maximum width a combi blinds can be customized.  Usually it's 2.4m or 2.8m wide depending on the fabric.  Also, some fabrics are prone to warping and bending so DS Windows & Walls blinds specialist will advise you if the fabric is prone to warping and not advisable for a wide window panel.
