STEP-BY-STEP INSTALLATION
Follow these simple steps
1
Position the Headbox
Remove the backing from the double-sided tape on the headbox. Position the headbox at the top of the roof window and use the adhesive strips to hold it temporarily in place before securing it with screws.
2
Secure the Headbox
Hold the headbox firmly in position and install the fixing screws through the pre-drilled holes. Tighten the screws until secure, taking care not to overtighten, as this could damage the blind.
3
Centre the Bottom Bar
Before fitting the side channels, check that the bottom bar is centred with the fabric. If required, slide the bottom bar left or right until it is evenly aligned.
4
Fit & Secure the Side Channels
Hook each side channel under the headbox and onto the bottom bar end cap, then push it into position against the window frame. Once aligned, secure the bottom of each side channel using the supplied screws.
5
Test the Blind
To operate the blind, twist the bottom bar towards the glass to unlock it, move it to the desired position, then twist it back towards you to lock it in place. Always unlock the bottom bar before moving the blind to avoid causing damage.
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
