Wooden blinds make a great addition to any room and are very popular at the minute. They offer great warmth that you don't get with most fabrics because they are a natural product.
If you aren't used to fitting wood blinds then it can take you a while to work out how to fit them. Even though it is relatively straight forward I know from experience that plenty of people get it wrong, especially the first time they fit them.
Before you start drilling, you should chek the blind for damage, and remove any obstacles from the window, including vases, photo frames etc.
You should have checked that the fitting position is in fact sound before you measure, expecially if took our advice before you started measuring. So, assuming that is okay, you can make your mark so you know where to drill. Make sure the brackets are square with the window.
Next, mark where you are going to fit the brackets, making sure they are level. Drilling the holes will really depend on what you are drilling into, but if you have tiles then I recommend you buy a special tile cutter drill bit. Also make sure the rawl plug goes all the way behind the tile. This is should stop the tile cracking as you tighten the screw.
The brackets for wood blinds are usually box bracket, and are the ones we supply. These brackets let you fix to the top of the window, the side or the wall.
Wooden venetain blinds come with a valance that cover the metal headrail and complete the look. This will either fix by velcro or plastic clips. The plastic clips offer a much more secure fixing, as the glue that holds the velcro can weaken over time. If you are lucky enough to have the clips, then you may need to fix them before you hang the blind.
Now you have the brackets fitted and the clips for the valance of you need them, then you simply slot the headrail into the brackets and snap the box bracket doors shut. The pelmet will hang from the velcro or the clips, whichever were supplied.
Test the blind to make sure it works, and then enjoy for years to come. - 15359
