How to install corded Cellular blinds

Now you have your new corded cellulars, let's dive into the installation process. But before commencing, please check that all the below fixing parts have been supplied.

The number of parts will vary in relation to the size and number of blinds supplied.

 

The following tools and instruments are required to complete installation safely and accurately:

• Power drill

• Phillips head screwdriver

• Pencil & tape measure

• Spirit level

• Small step ladder (if possible)

• Protective eyewear & gloves (if drilling into masonry, metal or tile)

Installing your cellular blinds

Before commencing, verify the correct fitting position using your order summary. A recess fit blind is installed inside the frame of your window.

1. Install the mounting brackets

The mounting brackets should be fixed approximately 50mm from each end (left and right) of the blind’s headrail. For blinds exceeding 1200mm width, an additional bracket should be positioned centrally for support.

2. Attach the headrail

Position the front edge of the headrail into the front hook of the mounting bracket. Then, gently push the headrail towards the window until it “snaps” into position.

3. Install the cord cleat

Fasten the cleat to the wall using both of the screws provided. Do not use tape, adhesives, stapes or nails to attach the cleat. Cord cleats must be installed at least 1600mm above floor level to comply with Australian safety regulations.

4. Install the hold down clips

If ordered, attach the base of the hold down clip to the window recess or sill. Additional fixing is possible through the side of the bracket (when suitable). Once attached, snap the hold down clip pin into the guide hole found on the end of the blind’s bottom rail.

Before commencing, verify the correct fitting position using your order summary. A face fit blind will sit on the outside frame or architrave of your window.
