Title: 1” diameter Velcro discs needed
Post by: dfloeter on April 14, 2021, 01:50:06 PM
I am not sure if this standard Catalina stuff, but our pleated shades fasten down on 1" diameter Velcro discs made of a stiff plastic with a single screw hole.  Sailrite has a 1 ⅛" version but I am hoping someone has sourced a smaller one.

If I understand what you're looking for, Staples.com has all kind of options for velcro.  Some might lend themselves to adding a screw if necessary for strength.

Thanks Steve.  These have a stiff plastic substrate and I think the Staples discs are all soft.  I'll keep looking.

I bought the Sailrite discs.  Replaced them all with white discs.  Works well and looks good.  Also shortened some shades by fastening one pleat together.  Can't say I remember exactly how.  It got rid of the sag.

for what's it worth mcmaster has stiff hook/loop discs, but not in 1" either.  if you don't want the 1-1/8" you could go down to 3/4"
