Get Prepared!

Roller blinds are such a versatile product and a breeze to install. Unpack your boxes and remove the outer plastic wrapping. Look out for the label affixed to the soft foam wrapping on
your roller blind, which shows your product name & the basic roller blind specs. Be sure to keep the soft foam wrapping attached to the roller blind until you install the roller blind into the
brackets.

Installing your roller blind within the recess of your window

You’ll be installing the roller blind brackets on the inside of your window frame. The brackets have multiple fixing points; however, to achieve maximum coverage, ensure to install the screws through the bracket into the top of your recess.

It will take 10 mins to install your new roller blinds, so let’s get started.

What’s in the box?

Let’s unpack everything! Lay it on the floor.

Open up the cardboard box(es) you’ve received. Open the outer layer of plastic surrounding your roller blind(s). You’ll notice some bracket componentry, beaded chains, end caps and a bag of screws. There’ll be one bag with all the screws for each of the blinds you’ve ordered – there are 4 screws per roller blind (2 per bracket).

*NOTE: Because your roller blind is fully customised, the components in your order may differ from those pictured here. Rest assured, we are always there to help and support you.

Mark up
Get a pencil ready

You’re going to be marking up where your brackets will be installed. Also, if you ordered an optional pelmet, you’ll be marking up the pelmet brackets too.

Mark up your brackets
Gather your two brackets, the chain side bracket has a tongue for the chain drive to be inserted, the pin end bracket has a small hole. Lift each bracket to the top corners of your
recess with each bracket pointing inside your recess

Make two marks, one on each end of the bracket with a pencil as shown in the image. Make sure the back of the bracket is at least 10mm from the glass or any obstructions below, that your blind could get snagged on.

If you have a pelmet, mark up your brackets

Optional (if you have a pelmet) – Grab the two pelmet brackets and mark the underside of the top of your recess about 50-100mm in from your blind bracket marks. Ensure the front part of your pelmet bracket lines up with the front edge of your window recess. This will ensure a flush fit to your recess.

Install your brackets

Let’s get drilling – Now you’ll be drilling pilot holes for your brackets and then installing them with the supplied screws.

Don’t have a drill at home? No worries!

You can always call your trusted local carpenter, electrician, or plumber — they usually carry a drill and can help you install the brackets in no time. It’s a small job they’ll wrap up quickly and
affordably.

Now, let’s get those brackets up!

Once the drill is ready, start by making pilot holes where your brackets will go. Then, secure them firmly using the supplied screws.

Drill your pilot holes

Pop the 3mm drill bit into your drill and pre-drill two holes for each of the roller blind brackets where you’ve marked in the previous step. Repeat for both brackets.

Optional: if you have marked out pelmet brackets, pre-drill these pilot holes too.

Install your roller blind brackets

Grab your chain end bracket first as shown in the image and install using two supplied screws. Be sure to double check which side the chain is on your order for each blind and install the
chain end bracket on that side.

Repeat this process for the pin end bracket on the other side of the recess.

If you have a pelmet, install the pelmet brackets

Optional (if you have a pelmet) – Install the pelmet brackets with the supplied screws.

Are you ready to install your blind? Told you, it was an easy-peasy installation!

Click in your roller blind, it’s that easy!

You’re nearly there. Simply click your roller blind into your already installed brackets. Pay close attention to the chain drive end as you’ll need to ensure the “hood” of the chain drive is
pointing to 12 o’clock. 

Insert the roller blind into the chain drive bracket

Pick up your roller blind and line up the chain drive end with the chain side bracket. Align the tongue of the bracket with the inserts on the chain end of the blind and make sure the top or “hood” of the chain end is pointed to 12 o’clock.

Tip: If the chain component doesn’t align properly, remove the soft foam wrapping from the blind and let some of the fabric roll so you can align it perfectly.

Insert the roller blind into the pin end bracket

Guide the pin end of the roller blind in to the pin end bracket. You’ll see a channel on the bracket to slide the blind into the hole. If the pin end component isn’t extended, simply turn
the clear plastic cog and the pin will extend out from the component.

Depress the metal pin into the component until the blind is level with the pin hole.

Click in your blind

our’ll hear a satisfying ‘click’ when the pin end has slotted successfully into the pin end bracket.

Your new roller blind is installed! If the blind is feeling a little loose, follow the next step to extend the pin end further

Not a perfect fit?

If your roller blind is a bit loose for your liking

Don’t worry, our genius pin end roller blind component can extend up to 15mm so your blind can always fit perfectly.

Simply twist the clear plastic cog surrounding the pin end component. Twist until you feel resistance, and the cog will settle at the current extension point and a perfect finish.

Optional: Attach your pelmet

If you have a pelmet, let’s pop that on

Attach the pelmet on one side using the already installed pelmet brackets. Line up the back of the pelmet channels with the bracket on one side, then attach to the other side.

You may need to use a small amount of force for the pelmet to attach to the brackets successfully. Your pelmet should sit flush to the frame and the roller blind will roll nicely.

You’ve done it!

Congratulations
