Installing your pleated blinds
Step1:- Mounting type
Decide whether you want to mount the blinds inside the window recess (inside mount) or outside the window recess (outside mount). Inside mounts provide a sleeker look, while outside mounts can make windows appear larger.
Step2:- Fixing method
Position the brackets according to your chosen mounting location, ensuring they are evenly spaced across the width of the window. Use a pencil to mark the screw hole positions.
Top fixing
Measure and mark the distance between the wall and the back of the bracket, allowing for obstructions like handles that protrude into the recess area.
The installation brackets (top and face fix) are positioned evenly along the width of the blind. Hold each bracket into place and mark the hole positions. Please ensure fixings are suitable for the wall/surface to which you are mounting the brackets.
Step 3:- Inserting the headrail
Insert the headrail into the brackets as demonstrated, then push the headrail upward at the rear until it clicks fully into place.
Step 4:- Installing safety cleat
Use suitable screws to attach the safety cleat securely to the wall. install them according to the manufacturer’s instructions to keep cords out of reach of children and pets.
