How to install Vertical 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 bracket

Attach the first mounting bracket directly into ceiling or the uppermost section of window frame or architrave on the left or right side of the window. The centre of the mounting bracket equals the centre of the louvre hook. Position the screw a minimum of 55mm in front of the window frame or any projection.Install the remaining mounting bracket(s) a maximum distance of 750mm from the previous bracket. Allow a minimum of 12mm clearance above the window sill or floor.

2. Attach the track

Place the rear of the blind track into the mounting bracket’s pin and level the track to the bracket. Then tighten the bracket screw to lock the track in place. Re-insert the fabric insert (if required).

3. Connect the fabric panels

Push the louvre up into the carrier stem. Then pull slightly straight down to lock in place. For wand options, if the louvres are curved, the curved side should face the wand.

4. Install the child safety device

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

5. Operating the wand control

To rotate the louvres, rotate the end in the direction you want the louvres rotated. To traverse the louvres, rotate the louvres to the open position. Then, push or pull the wand to open (stack louvres) or close (unstack louvres) the blind.

6. Operating cord lock control

To rotate the louvres, gently pull the chain. To traverse the louvres, gently pull the nylon cord. Please note, for proper louvre traversing it is critical that the louvres be rotated to the open position prior to pulling on the cord (to draw the louvres across the window opening). If louvres become tangled or have moved out of alignment, re-adjust as follows: With your hand, gently adjust the louvres so they are all facing the same direction. Make certain that the louvres overlap each other in the correct direction. Pull the metal bead chain until you hear a grinding sound. Give the chain an additional gentle pull. This grinding noise comes from the louvre carriers realigning themselves. Now pull the chain in the opposite direction and all vanes will be aligned correctly.
