STEP-BY-STEP INSTALLATION
Follow these simple steps
1
Install the Brackets
Position your brackets where the blind will be fitted, ensuring they are level and evenly spaced. Secure them firmly using suitable fixings for your wall or window frame. For blinds over 1050mm wide, remember to install the centre support bracket.
2
Fit the Blind
Lift the headrail into the installed brackets and press firmly until it clicks securely into place. Once fitted, gently check that the blind is fully locked into all brackets before operating.
3
Attach the Pelmet
Clip the pelmet clips onto the headrail, then attach the pelmet. If required, carefully trim the pelmet to the correct length using a fine-toothed hacksaw before fitting.
4
Test the Blind
Before raising or lowering the blind, tilt the slats into the open position. Operate the lift cords and tilt controls to ensure the blind moves smoothly and all functions work correctly.
5
Fit the Child Safety Device
Install the supplied cord safety cleat as close to the headrail as possible and secure any loose cords. Always keep cords out of the reach of children and follow the supplied child safety guidance.
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
