Fitting the brackets
There are two types of brackets for vertical blinds, each of which offers a
different method of installation:
If you’re using top-fix brackets, make sure that you mount them at least 7.5cm
in front of either the window frame, or any protruding vents or handes, if
there are any. This allows space for the louvres to turn open and closed.
For safety reasons, always ensure that the top of the blind is installed at
least 150cm (1500mm) from the floor.
Fitting the blind
Top-Fixing
Situate the front lip of the headrail into the front of the bracket.
Lift the back of the headrail and push up firmly to secure the back of the
rail into the bracket.
Face-Fixing
Situate the back lip of the headrail into the back hook of the bracket.
Lift the front of the headrail so it’s level, then tighten the screw in the
front of the bracket to secure the rail in place.
Child Safety
Cord Tensioner
Your vertical blind is fully compliant with the latest safety standards. It
has been supplied with a ‘P-Clip’ tensioning device to keep the cords and the
chain child safe.
Slot both the cord and the beaded chain into the ‘P-Clip’ and secure it to the
wall or window frame (if you are fixing to the facing surface then the cord
and chain will form a figure of eight, this is fine and will not affect the
operation of your blind).
Top Tip
Please note that the P-clip must be installed. The cord must be kept under
tension to prevent it from sagging down from the headrail when the blind is
drawn open.
Warning Young children can be strangled by loops in pull cords, chains,
tapes and inner cords that operate the product.
To avoid strangulation and entanglement, keep cords out of the reach of young
children. Cords may become wrapped around a child’s neck.
Move beds, cots and furniture away from window covering cords.
Do not tie cords together. Make sure cords do not twist and create a loop.
Hanging the louvres
Top Tip
Before hooking the louvres on the rail, use the beaded chain to turn the hooks
so that they all face side on. This makes it far quicker to hook the louvres
on and also ensures that the louvres will not clash when you first use the
blind.
Top Tip
Check that none of the hooks are facing a different direction to the rest.
If you find that this is the case, then this is easy to rectify. Simply pull
on the beaded chain and keep pulling – don’t worry about the resistance and
the grinding sound, they’re normal when doing this. Eventually the hooks
should all turn back into alignment and the chain will run smoothly
