Installing your vertical blind onto your window frame
You'll be installing the vertical blind brackets onto your window
frame. The brackets have multiple fixing points; however, to achieve maximum
coverage, ensure to install the screws through the back of your bracket onto
the outside of your window frame.
It only takes a few minutes to install your new vertical blind, 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 vertical 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.
Position your
brackets
Before you install your brackets, its important that your outer most
brackets are postisioned at least 50mm from the end on your blind.
Mark up - Get a pencil ready
You're going to be marking up where your brackets will be installed.
Mark up your brackets
Gather your brackets, the number of brackets may differ depending on
the length of your blind.
Lift each bracket to the top corners of your window frame, flush with
the top of the frame. Mark two holes through each bracket as shown in the
image.
Make sure the back of the bracket is at least 10mm from any
obstructions.
Keep things level
To make installation as easy as possible, it's important that your
brackets are in line with each other.
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 holes for each of
the vertical blind brackets where you've marked in the previous step. Repeat
for all brackets.
Install your
brackets
Install your brackets by holding each up and drilling a screw through
the pilot hole. Repeat this process for all remaining brackets.
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 vertical blinds? Told you, it was an
easy-peasy installation!
Click in your vertical blind, it's that easy! We're nearly there. Just simply click your vertical blind into your already installed brackets.
Line up your
blind
Lift up your vertical blind at an angle and line up the front lip with
the prongs on the front of each bracket. Then hook the prongs into the
underside of the lip.
Click in your
blind
Keeping the front lip hooked on, turn your headrail toward the window.
Once your the back of the headrail is in inline with the window frame, gently
apply force until you hear a satisfying 'Click'. This means your blind is now
intalled and secure. Great Job!
Clip on your
blind slats
Now for the fun part - This is where you will install the individual
lengths of material that make up your blind.
Clip it good
Holding the top of the slat, line it up with the a peg protruding from
the headrail. Gently push the slat into the peg, where it will clip into place
Finish it off. Repeat the previous step for each of your remaining slats. Once that's done, your blinds will be fully installed and looking amazing. Great Job! You have done it! Congratulations.
