Roller & Roman
Fitting window blinds might seem like a difficult task, but it really doesn't have to be. We will take you through the process step-by-step, so you can professionally install roller and roman blinds.

When you install your brackets, you'll be able to decide whether you want to 'face fix' or 'top fix' them.
Top fixing is when you insert the screw upwards through the bracket and into a surface above - you will need to do this if you are fitting your blinds in a recess.
Face fixing is when you insert the screw through the side of the bracket, into a flat, horizontal surface (such as your wall). This is for blinds that are being fitted outside a recess. You could also use this method to fix the brackets to the window.

Top fix means it will fix into a ceiling or top of a recess.
Face fix means it will fix into a wall or back of a recess.

Use your pencil to make two marks, showing where each bracket will be fixed. You will want there to be one bracket at either end of the blinds, about 2 inches (Approx 5cm), inside the headrail. If you are fitting your blinds inside the recess, make sure you don't make your marks too close to the window. This is because you need to leave enough space for the operating mechanism and for the blinds to open and close easily.
If you are fitting your blinds outside the recess, make sure to centrally align with the window frame.
Roman blinds & blinds with a cassette headrail
Attaching your blinds once the brackets are in place is simple. Hook the headrail into the edge of the bracket, then push it forwards and tilt it down until it clicks into place.
Roller blinds with a classic headrail
With these blinds, you'll need to slot the headrail between the two brackets at either end. Do this by pushing one end of the headrail against the 'plunger end' bracket until it gives way and allows you to lift the other end into place.
In a similar way to curtains, the fabric (particularly of roman blinds) may be creased from transportation. The blind can be steamed to remove any creases and we recommend it is left down for 48 hours. This will allow the fabric to settle into its new surroundings.
