STEP-BY-STEP INSTALLATION
Follow these simple steps
1
Mark & Install the Brackets
Fit the brackets in the correct position depending on whether you ordered a top fix or face fix blind. Hold the headrail in your desired position and use it as a guide to mark where each bracket will be fitted. Check everything is level, then securely fix the brackets in place using suitable fixings for your installation surface. Space the brackets evenly across the width of the blind.
2
Fit the Headrail
Once the brackets are installed, clip the headrail securely into place. Gently pull the headrail to check it is fully locked into each bracket before continuing.
3
Hang the Louvres
Attach each louvre onto the headrail hooks, ensuring they are all facing the same direction. Once fitted, rotate the louvres into the open position before operating the blind.
4
Fit the Weights & Bottom Chain
Insert a weight into the pocket at the bottom of each louvre, then attach the stabilising bottom chain by sliding the clips onto the weight lugs. This helps keep the louvres evenly aligned during operation.
5
Test the Blind & Install the Child Safety Device
Operate the blind to ensure the louvres rotate and traverse smoothly. Finally, install the supplied child safety P-Clip to keep the control chain and cord under tension, ensuring they remain safely out of the reach of 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
