Tools you will need:

• Steel measuring tape
• Pencil for marking and noting your measurements
• Worksheet to record your numbers
• Ladder if the window is high

Tips for accurate measurements:

• Be careful not to confuse height and width when writing your measurements, as mixing them up can lead to a blind that does not fit.
• If measuring more than one window, measure each separately. Small differences in size can affect how the blinds fit.

Outside Recess Measurements:

• Measure the area where you want the blind to cover. To reduce light coming through, we recommend the blind overlaps the window by at least 70mm at the top and 50mm on each side.
• Bottom overlap is up to you, but remember to consider obstacles like radiators.
• Use a metal tape measure, as cloth tapes can stretch and give inaccurate results.

Inside Recess Measurements:

• Measure the full width and height of the window recess if you want the blind to fit inside. We will make any necessary deductions to ensure a perfect fit.
• Take three measurements for both width and drop, and use the smallest numbers.
• Do not make any deductions yourself; we will do this for you.
• Always use a metal tape measure to avoid errors.

Items included with your blind:

• Top fix brackets x2
• Face fix brackets x2
• Hangers x1

Extra tools you will need:

• Pencil
• Screws
• Drill with correct bits
• Crosshead screwdriver
• Metal tape measure

Face Fix Installation:

• Position the brackets approximately 5cm from each end of where the headrail will go. If more than two brackets are supplied, space any additional brackets evenly along the length. Ensure the fixings are suitable for your wall or surface.
• Hook the back of the headrail into the bracket and rotate it into place. Secure it by tightening the small screw at the front of the bracket.

Top Fix Installation:

• Measure and mark positions, allowing for obstacles such as window handles. Place the brackets approximately 10cm from each end to avoid interference. If more than two brackets are supplied, space the additional brackets evenly along the blind. Make sure the fixings are suitable for your surface.
• Tilt the headrail into the bracket and rotate it until it clicks into place. To remove, press the bracket at the marked point.
