STEP-BY-STEP INSTALLATION
Follow these simple steps
1
Mark & Install the Brackets
Hold the headrail in your desired position and use it as a guide to mark where each bracket will be fitted. We recommend positioning the outer brackets approximately 40mm from each end of the blind, with any additional brackets spaced evenly across the width. Check everything is level, then securely fix the brackets in place using suitable fixings for your installation surface, ensuring there is enough clearance for the blind to operate freely.
2
Fit the Headrail
Open the locking arm on each bracket, then hook the front lip of the headrail into place. Rotate the locking arm until it clicks securely into position, ensuring the headrail is firmly held by every bracket.
3
Test the Blind
Operate the control chain to raise and lower the blind several times, ensuring it moves smoothly and the pleated fabric folds evenly.
4
Check the Installation
Confirm the headrail is securely locked into all brackets and that the blind raises and lowers freely without catching on surrounding window furniture or obstacles.
5
Install the Child Safety Device
Fit the supplied child safety cleat as close to the headrail as possible and secure any loose cords in a figure of 8. Always keep cords out of the reach of young children.
COMMON MISTAKES
- Not using a spirit level
- Drilling without checking for cables or pipes
- Not securing brackets firmly
- Forgetting to check the blind operates smoothly
