Getting started
YOU WILL NEED:
•A drill with correct bit
•A crossheaded
screwdriver
•A metal tape measure
•A pencil
•Your brackets are
packed with your
headrail. Please ensure
you’ve located them
before disposing of the
packaging.
•There are two bracket
types. One that can be
used to top fix the blind
into a recess and
another to face fix into
a frame or a wall.
•Please read the
following instructions
carefully before you
start fitting your blind.
To Fit the Brackets Fit the Wand
1. Position the brackets at a suitable distance
away from any window handles or. If top fixing,
use a louvre hanger as a guide to positioning
your holes. If face fixing, mark where the
screws will go using the holes in the bracket as
a guide.
2. Ideally, position the brackets 5cm in from each
end of the head rail. Any additional brackets
should be spaced evenly.
3. For a wall or lintel, use a drill with a suitable
sized bit to make your holes, and push in
rawplugs. You may need different screws from
those provided i.e. 1½”8’s
4. For a wooden frame, screw your brackets into
position with the screws provided. A pilot hole
may be needed to allow easier fixing of the
screws.
5. Fix the bracket into place and repeat on the
other side of the blind.
To fit the head rail
1. Face fix - loosen the screws on the front of the
brackets, hook the head rail into position and
tighten the bracket screws to secure.
1. To fit the wand, hook
onto the eyelet found
within the headrail.
2. Using the wand, turn
the hooks inside the
headrail that hold the
louvres to the open
position.

2. Top fix - with the thumb tab on the bracket
facing back, hook the front edge of the head
rail into the bracket and push up at the back
until it clicks into position.

Operating your
blind:
Operating your blind
is easy. Just follow
these instructions.
•To adjust the angle
of the louvres, twist
the wand and the
louvres will turn
through 180 degrees.
•To open and close
the blind, pull the
wand ensuring the
louvres are in the
open position.
•From time to time
your louvres may be
knocked out of
alignment. To re-
align the louvres
remove them from
the headrail and
draw into the open
position. Using the
wand rotate the
hooks (that hold the
louvres onto the
headrail) until they
are aligned. You will
feel some resistance
and you may hear
a clicking noise, this
is normal and you
should continue to
operate the wand
until the hooks are
fully aligned.
To Fit the Louvres
1. Keeping them in a roll, slot a hanger into each
one making sure that all the hangers are the
same way up. This should be done with the
protruding lugs facing up.
2. Clip the louvres onto
the headrail. To
shorten the length of
the louvres, turn the
hangers upside
down in the louvres.
3. Starting from one
end, snap the
stabilising chain on to
the bottom weights
on both sides.
