blinds2go Perfect FIT Pleated Blinds Installation Guide
Assembling the frame
Unpack the blind and frame (the side frames are packed separately in the same
box), then lay out all the parts to ensure no cords are tangled.
When you first unpack the blind, the cords will be tied to keep them together. Untie the knot to release the cords, so that you can spread out the blind ready for assembly.
Before you slot the frames together, clip the corner cover pieces onto the
corner joints so that they’re firmly attached.
Attach the side frames to the top and bottom by inserting the pegs on each corner section into their corresponding channels in the frames. Press the pegs firmly into place, the tension in the blind’s cords will hold the frame together once fully assembled.
‘T’ bar frames
Wider blinds will be supplied with a vertically fitted ‘T’ bar to stabilize
them in the center. If your blind has not been supplied with a ‘T’ bar, skip
to page 3.
The top and bottom frames are connected to the side frames using the supplied
corner pieces, then to the ‘T’ bar using the T-shaped connector pieces.
Testing the tension
Stand the assembled frame upright and raise it fully to the top. If the blind starts to lower slightly of its own accord, the tension will need a small adjustment.
On the top of the frame the two guide cords are tied off with a knot – pull
the cord through by 5mm and tie another knot to hold it in place. Do this on
both of the guide cords at the top of the blind to increase the tension.
Stand the blind back up and retest, making further small adjustments to the tension if necessary
Installing the brackets
Locate the correct position for the side brackets by holding a credit card vertically in the corner of the glass – the bracket will sit in line with the edge of the card. Slide each bracket fully under the rubber seal.
Top Tip
If your blind has a ‘T’ bar, there will be bracket slots close to the
center at the top and bottom of the blind too. Fit these brackets the same
way, just in the top and bottom of the window frame.
To correctly locate these brackets, find the center of the window and measure 90mm to either side. The edge of the bracket should line up with this 90mm mark.
Installing the blind
Line the assembled blind up with the brackets so that the center prong of the
bracket is aligned with the oval slot on the frame.
Ensure that the frame is sitting on the inside edge of each of the brackets
(between the bracket and the glass). Push the frame towards the window until
the oval slots lock onto the prongs of each of the brackets. The installation
of the blind is now complete.
