Fitting Wood Blinds
Made to measure wood blinds fit in most rooms and make a great window covering.
Fitting your blinds can be difficult if you haven't done it before. Fear not however, because we are here to help.
Before you start drilling, you should chek the blind for damage, and remove any obstacles from the window, including vases, photo frames etc.
You should have checked that the fitting position is in fact sound before you measure, expecially if took our advice before you started measuring. So, assuming that is okay, you can make your mark so you know where to drill. Make sure the brackets are square with the window.
To make sure I get the brackets level, I use a ruler and measure where I want the brackets to be. I hold them in place and mark the holes with a pencil. If you have tiles then I recommend you buy a special drill bit for tile cutting - they are available from most DIY shops. A good tip is to push the rawl plug up behind the tile, so that when the screw bites it is not pushing out the tile.
The brackets for wood blinds are usually box bracket, and are the ones we supply. These brackets let you fix to the top of the window, the side or the wall.
To cover the metal rail at the top of the wooden blind you should be supplied with a pelmet. The wooden valance will be held in place with either plastic clips or velcro.
Now you have the brackets fitted and the clips for the valance of you need them, then you simply slot the headrail into the brackets and snap the box bracket doors shut. The pelmet will hang from the velcro or the clips, whichever were supplied.
Operate the wooden blind to make sure it all works okay, and then take pride in your work.
