How to measure and fit Blinds

Fitting your new made-to-measure blind is straightforward.

1. Gather your tools and unpack your blind. Inside you'll find all the fixtures and fittings that you'll need, as well as a more comprehensive set of instructions. You can download these instructions here too.
2. Decide where you want your blind to be positioned and mark out your drill holes. In most cases you'll only need to drill 2 holes at either end of the blind. Usually these should be positioned about 15cm from the end of the blind. Wider blinds will need more holes drilling - you will need to refer to the instructions.
3. Drill your holes and then screw the brackets into place. You'll also be provided with rawl plugs, should you need to use them.
4. Fit your blind into the brackets. It really is that easy!

what you will need

1. Power drill
2. Drill bit
3. Phillips screwdriver (the one with the crossed head)

Which drill bit?

If you are drilling into concrete, brick or plaster, you should use a 5.5mm diameter masonry drill bit. This corresponds to the rawl plugs that we'll send you.

If you're drilling into wood, steel or UPVC, you should use a 3mm diameter high-speed steel (HSS) drill bit.
