INSTALLATION GUIDE
WOODLOOK VENETIAN BLINDS:
Please Note: These instructions should be read thoroughly before installing.
This is a guide to assist in the installation and care of your blinds. Betta Blinds & Awnings does not guarantee the accuracy of the
information contained in this guide. We recommend an experienced expert installer to rely upon their own skills. This is based on
general knowledge concerning the assembly, materials and working process of the blinds, which is known to us at the time of
printing this guide, consequently, is subject to change and Betta Blinds & Awnings specifically reserves the right to change this
guide without notification.
⬧ The person installing a corded internal window covering must attach a label to the corded window covering containing the
name and contact details of the person or company responsible for the installation.
⬧ They also must ensure that any warning label or swing tag supplied with the corded window covering remains attached to the
cord.
We recommend the use of the following Tools: Steel measuring tape, Carpenter’s level, Power or battery drill & bits, Flat
blade and Phillips head screwdrivers
The following should be included for each venetian blind ordered
Mounting brackets: One left hand and One right hand
Support bracket(s) if required
Hold down brackets –1 pair if ordered.
We recommend clean, soft cotton gloves (or the rubber gloves supplied) be worn to avoid marking the fabrics when
installing and handling fabric blinds.
Since different screws are required to suit different fixing applications, we do not supply screws. Please ensure you use the correct
screws for mounting to the desired application, for example Gyprock, timber, concrete, brick, steel, or aluminium.
The most important procedure in installing these blinds is to be sure that the correct anchorage method has been used so that
the mounting area (i.e., wall or architrave) is able to support the weight of the blind and its operation.
Note: Brick or Rendered Surfaces Warning: Make sure drilling is no closer than 25mm from edge of surfaces as the brick
or render may chip or break out
INSTALLATION
Face & Reveal
1. Check the marked width and drop sizes as indicated on the headbox against your original order
2. Each blind is marked to indicate the room location, as per your order form, to assist in establishing the correct fitting
location of multiple blind orders.
3. If all is correct layout the blinds at their location and remove protective packaging.
4. Remove the supplied installation brackets and cords from their shipping position in the headbox.
5. Ensure that the blind has 2 brackets (LH / RH) supplied for each blind. Note: if the width of the blind exceeds 1550mm a
centre support bracket should also be supplied and fitted. This is to be mounted off centre towards the cord lift end.
6. As these blind brackets are universal, they can be installed either face fit or reveal.
7. Level mounting is critical to the correct operation of the blind. (Achieved using a spirit level)
8. Fix the brackets either left or right as marked inside the brackets to the required location
9. These brackets have holes positioned for easy fitting through the top, sides and back sections depending on the
application needs.
10. Betta Blinds supplies mounting brackets only and where appropriate the child safety devices.

Headbox
11. Once the brackets have been installed and levels checked open the access clips on the bracket and slide the headbox
into the brackets
12. Close the clips and click them into the locking position.
13. Carefully lower the blind slats to the lowered position by releasing the cord lock mechanism and supporting the cords.
Please ensure that both the tilt and lifting cords are free from tangles and knots and hanging unobstructed.
14. Tilt the blinds open and closed to check the clearance and operation of the slats and mechanisms.
15. If all is operating correctly install the optional hold down brackets into the bottom fixing points to match the pin location in
the bottom rail of the blind
16. For Face Fit Woodlook Pelmets with Returns. Attach returns using the small “L” bracket supplied. Be careful not to
break the pelmet when pushing the “L” brackets into place as they can be a tight fit
17. Woodlook Venetians fix the brackets carefully to the rear of the pelmet by placing them in the desired positions for even
hanging. Once their position is established hold the bracket sideways and insert the tabs into the groove in the back of
the pelmet and turn the bracket 90 degrees clockwise to lock it into the groove correctly. Clip the pelmet over the front lip
of the headbox and alter the alignment position if required.
18. Providing that the handling, installation and care and maintenance is carried out correctly the quality of this product can
supply many years of trouble-free operation.

⬧To avoid creating a possible strangulation hazard for children, the corded internal window covering must be installed in such a way
that a loose cord cannot form a loop 220mm or longer at a height of less than 1,600mm above floor level.
⬧No part of a cord guide may be installed lower then 1,600mm above floor level unless, the cord guide will remain firmly attached to a
wall or structure specified in the installation instructions when subjected to tension force of 70 N applied in any direction for 10 seconds
and the cord is sufficiently secured or tensioned to prevent the formation of a loop 200mm or longer.
⬧If a cord guide is installed lower than 1,600 above floor level it must be designed to prevent a child from being able to remove the
cord.
⬧If a cleat is used to secure the cord it must be at least 1,600mm above floor level because a child is capable of unwinding a cord
from a cleat.
⬧The person installing a corded internal window covering must attach a label to the corded window covering containing the
name and contact details of the person or company responsible for the installation.
⬧ They also must ensure that any warning label or swing tag supplied with the corded window covering remains attached to
the cord.
