What are you mounting your blind to?

I am drilling into timber: Pre-drill holes and use the provided screws

I am drilling into plaster: We recommend use of the Ramset 10mm Grip Hollow Wall Anchor

I am drilling into concrete, stone, brick or tile: Use a Masonry drill and appropriate plugs, anchors or screws

Important

It is important to securely attach the brackets to the mounting surface. To achieve this the included screws must secure into wood studs, otherwise a fastener is required for secure mounting (not included).

Make sure the fastener you purchase is suitable for the weight of the product. If you are unsure, please contact us so we can suggest the correct fastener.

Step 1 - Brackets

  • Screw in brackets

    Keep the end brackets 50mm in from the edge of the architrave and space evenly across the window

    Ensure that the height of your bracket is at the height which you measured for your order

    Mark if necessary and pre drill 2 holes before securing the brackets with screws

Step 2 - Positioning the track

Tip

For large blinds it is best to have a second person help hold the blind in position

  • Lift the track into place, ensuring that it is evenly spaced across your window.

    Insert the back of the bracket into the groove on the top at the rear of the track.

  • Lift the front of the track up and click into place.

Step 3 - Attaching the Panels

  • Fold the top of the panel width wise along the plastic spline
  • Unscrew the end cap on the relevant top rail
  • Insert the folded section of the blind into the top rail
  • Replace the top rail end cap

Step 4 - Child Safe Control Wand

  • Hook the wands to both ends of the track for easy operation
  • To open and close, slowly push or pull the wand in the direction that is required
