Measuring Guide for Blinds:
1 – Width Measurements:
- Begin by measuring the width of the recess at the top, middle, and bottom.
- Use a metal tape measure for accuracy.
- Record the narrowest width measurement to ensure a perfect fit.
- Ensure the tape measure is level to avoid inaccuracies.
2 – Drop Measurements:
- Measure the drop of the recess at the left, center, and right sides.
- Use the metal tape measure from the top of the recess to the window sill or desired length.
- Take the shortest drop measurement to prevent any obstructions.
- Again, ensure the tape measure is straight to get precise measurements.
3 – Recess Depth:
- Measure the depth of the recess from the front to the back.
- This measurement is crucial for ensuring the blinds fit snugly within the recess.
- Use a metal tape measure and record the measurement accurately.
4 – Account for Obstructions:
- Check for any obstructions within the recess, such as window handles or locks.
- Measure the distance from the edge of the recess to the obstruction.
- Note down these measurements to ensure the blinds can operate freely without interference.
5 – Child Safety Measures:
- Ensure that all blind cords are secured and out of reach of children.
- Install cord cleats or tensioners to keep cords safely tucked away.
- Verify that the blind cords are at least 1.5 meters above the floor level to prevent any risk of entanglement.
- Tie up excess cords using safety devices provided with the blinds to avoid accidents.
Fitting Guide for Blinds:
1 – Preparation:
- Gather all necessary tools and materials, including a drill, screws, raw plugs, and a spirit level.
- Ensure the area is clear of any obstacles and protect surfaces from potential damage
2 – Positioning:
- Position the blind brackets evenly within the recess, ensuring they are level and aligned.
- Use a pencil to mark the drilling points for the bracket screws on both sides of the recess.
3 – Drilling:
- With caution, drill pilot holes at the marked points to prevent splintering or damage to the surface.
- Insert raw plugs into the pilot holes to provide additional support for the screws.
4 – Securing the Brackets:
- Align the brackets with the pilot holes and secure them in place using screws and a screwdriver.
- Ensure the brackets are firmly attached to the recess and can support the weight of the blind.
5 – Attaching the Blind:
- Place the blind into the brackets, ensuring it fits snugly and securely.
- For corded blinds, ensure that the cords are properly threaded through the safety devices provided.
6 – Child Safety Measures:
- Double-check that all blind cords are secured and out of reach of children.
- Install cord cleats or tensioners to keep cords safely tucked away.
- Verify that the blind cords are at least 1.5 meters above the floor level to prevent any risk of entanglement.
7 – Final Steps:
- Test the operation of the blind to ensure it opens and closes smoothly without any obstructions.
- Trim any excess cord length and secure it using the provided safety devices.
- Once satisfied with the installation, clean up any debris and enjoy your newly installed blind.
