Vertical Blinds
Fitting and care instructions
With these instructions you will find sufficient brackets and wood
screws for fitting your blind.
Top Fixing Brackets
Fix brackets to ceiling or lintel with holes drilled on a line at least 3” (75mm) from the wall or window frame for blinds with 5” (127mm) louvres or 2 “ (55mm) for blinds with 3 “ (89mm) louvres. End brackets should be about 1 ” (40mm) from the ends of the track. Any remaining brackets should be spaced evenly between these two brackets.
Face Fixing Brackets
Fix brackets to wall or window frame as closely as possible to the ceiling or lintel with same spacing as recommended for the top fixing brackets.
Fitting the Track
The track must be fitted into the brackets keeping controls to side ordered. Locate the small lip projecting from brackets into groove in track. Push track up into brackets. Spring clip brackets will hold your track without further adjustment. If your brackets have retaining screws, these should now be screwed into the other slot in the track. Please do not over tighten the screws. This is unnecessary and will damage the track. Remove packaging material from track, releasing the cord and chain. (Cord control traverses louvres and chain control rotates them.)
Fitting the Louvres
Turn hooks so that the slots are 90° to the track. Hang the louvres, keeping all seams one way. Your blind is now ready to operate.
