Step One

Outside Recess

If fitting the blind outside the window, measurements (C) will need to be the same. To work out (C), simply minus (B) from (A) and divide the answer by two. Follow instructions for FACE FIXING.

Inside Recess

Decide whether to FACE or TOP FIX. FACE FIX to fit the bracket to the window frame. TOP FIX to the lintel if the window frame is uPVC, or if there are any obstructions, e.g. window handles.

Step Two

Face Fixing

Lightly screw short screws into place. Position brackets approx 5cm from the ends of the headrail. Mark holes A and screw brackets into place.

Top Fixing

Measure and mark the distance any handles protrude. Then, using the louvre hanger, find and mark the fitting position A. Drill brackets into position 5cm away from the side walls.

Step Three

Face Fixing

With carriage C closest to you, hook the back of the headrail into the brackets. Tighten the short screws to lock the headrail into place.

Top Fixing

Tilt and hook the front of the headrail (carriage C closest to you) into the bracket. Press the back up into position until it clicks. Push B up to release blind.

Step Four

Once headrail is fitted, break open the plastic protecting the roll of louvres. Keeping the louvres in a roll, peel off one at a time and insert a hanger A in each. Ensure all hangers are positioned the same way up.

Clip the hangers onto the carriage, ensuring the fabric overlaps are at the back, and that the louvres are in the open position. Turn hanger A upside-down to shorten drop of louvres if desired.

Step Five

Starting from one end, snap the beaded chain on to the bottom weights on both sides.

Step Six

Fit cord weight as shown, ensuring cord is free to move through the weight. Use the cord to draw the louvres from side to side. The beaded chain rotates the louvres.

To re-align the louvres, pull the beaded chain downwards as far as it will go. When you hear the rachet noise, the louvres have re-aligned.
