Installing Roller Blinds

Choosing the right place

Depending on the available space and your own preference, you can fit the roller blind in front of the window in different ways:

1. OUTSIDE. You can hang the blind on the face of window frame (outside). This requires the OUTSIDE Measurements - The blinds will be manufactured to the measurements you provided which includes brackets and the chain drive, refer to image Pic. 7 (at bottom of page)
2. INSIDE. You can hang the blind inside the window frame (outside).
   This requires the INSIDE Measurements - The blinds will be manufactured to the measurements you provided which includes brackets and the chain drive, refer to image Pic. 7 (at bottom of page)

Check for obstacles

Check that there are no protruding parts that could obstruct the roller blind when you raise or lower it – for example a window handle that sticks out too far. In that case you can consider hanging the blind so that it rolls and unrolls from the front of the roller, instead of from the back.

Measure the width

If you want to hang the blind inside the window frame, simply enter the exact width of the inside of the window frame refer to Pic. 7 (at bottom of page)

Decide on which side you want to fit the chain

Decide whether you want to fit the chain of the roller blind on the left or right side.

Fitting the brackets to the window frame or wall

Decide on the position of the first bracket and mark the drilling holes. If you’re fitting the bracket to the window frame, first pre-drill the holes with a thin wood drill bit (2.5 mm). Or if you’re fitting the blind to the wall, use a 6 mm masonry drill bit together with wall plugs of the same size. Then fit the first bracket and lightly tighten the screws. Using a long strip of wood, adjust the roller with a spirit level so it is horizontal. Then mark the drilling holes for the second bracket.

Hanging the blind

First insert the roller into the bracket with the chain mechanism, and then into the other bracket.
