Before starting you need to decide if the blind is an Inside (Recess) or Outside (Facefix) blind installation. This will determine your blind
position. Remember if Inside (Recess) you should ensure the blinds will not be obstructed but obstructions like window handles or burglar
bars for example.

Inside window frame (Reveal fix)
Measure the distance that any handles protrude from the frame. Mark this measurement on the lintel (top inside portion of window
frame) and use it to position the back of the bracket. Mark the position of holes Drill the holes. Then screw bracket into lintel using screws
and raw plugs supplied.
Use mounting clips to secure headrail on the inside mounts. The centre of the mounting clip aligns with the centre of the louver carrier
stem.

Standard wall brackets are adjustable and provide 5cm wall clearance.
Determine the height for the top of the bracket (measured from the floor) by adding 1/2” to the blind height including the headrail. When
installed, louvers will clear the floor.
