Step1.
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.
Step2.
Place the blind in fitting position and tilt forward to show ladder
controls. When fitting the brackets, you will need to leave at
least 5cm (50mm) either side of controls.
Step3.
Inside window frame (Recess 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.
OR
Outside window frame (Face Fix)

bracket in place. Use raw plugs if fitting to the wall.
