Installing your roller 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 your mounting brackets

Lift each bracket into position and mark where the screws will attach the bracket to the frame. Pre-drill two holes in the marked positions then secure the control bracket with the provided screws. Repeat the process for the idle bracket. Please note, wall mounts may need to be sourced and used depending on your wall surface.

2. Attach your blind

Insert your roller blind into the idle bracket so the spring pin clips into the guide hole. Then, carefully align the chain control side with the control bracket. Push the blind into the cross section of the bracket, ensuring the chain is hanging directly down. Then hook into place with a gentle downward motion.

Position the child safety device at the bottom of the chain loop drop and screw it into the mounting surface (face or recess as relevant), making sure that the looped chain hangs with minimal tension.

Need extra help?

Can I remove my roller blind?

Yes, you can. First ensure the blind is fully and firmly rolled up. Then, turn the clear plastic wheel in the idle end of the blind (this will only turn one way) until there is a click indicating the pin is fully retracted. You will now be able to remove the roller and fabric skin of the blind from the brackets.

Can I switch my roller blind chain to be on the other side?

Yes, it just requires an adjustment to your roller blind's control drive. Please contact our support team to get specific advice on how to achieve this.

How do I clean roller blinds?

Cleaning roller blinds involves dusting them with a feather duster or vacuum cleaner, spot cleaning stains with a mild detergent and water solution, rinsing with clean water, air drying thoroughly, and maintaining regular dusting to keep them clean and fresh. For heavy stains, consider professional cleaning or following the manufacturer's instructions for washing.

My roller blinds seem to have creases, can I get rid of them?

Horizontal lines may appear on the roller blind fabric due to their packaging. These will fade once the blind has been hanging fully extended for at least 3 days. In the event this issue persists, please contact us for further guidance.
