Fitting the brackets
Standard finish
The brackets offer three methods of installation:
Top Tip
Top-fixing or face-fixing are recommended for most installations, whereas
side-fixing is only recommended if the width you gave us was taken right at
the top of the recess.
Cassette finish
The brackets offer two methods of installation:
For top-fixing, simply use the two screw holes in the bracket to fix it directly to the lintel. For face-fixing, attach the bracket to the L-plate using the small screws provided. Then, use the holes in the back of the L-plate to fix it to a facing wall or window frame.
For cassette finish, note that the position of the outermost brackets should be at least 5cm away from the ends of the rail, with any other brackets evenly distributed across the width.
Fitting the blind
Standard finish
Locate the pin-end (the opposite end to the controls) of the blind into the central hole in the corresponding bracket. Lift the control end of the blind and slot the rectangular ‘lugs’ into the corresponding slots on the bracket.
Cassette finish
- To fit the cassette into the bracket, hold the cassette at an angle and locate the central ‘lip’ along the top of the cassette, onto the front ‘hook of the bracket.
- Now raise the back of the cassette up and push up firmly into the brackets until you hear them ‘snap’ into place.
For SmartView Roller Blinds
Once your blind is installed we recommend plugging in the motor to allow it to fully charge before use. Plug the charging cable (included) into the motor charging port and allow to charge until the LED on the charger plug turns green.
On the front of the swing tag that comes with your blind, you’ll find a handy QR code you can scan with your phone. Scan this to download the SmartView app – you’ll be setting up your blinds in moments!
Child Safety
Not applicable for SmartView Roller Blinds
- The cord retaining device must be installed at the maximum distance possible from the control mechanism to prevent looped cords from becoming slack.
- Place the retaining device on the wall and mark the position of the screw hole(s) with a pencil.
- Attach the retaining device to the wall using the fixings provided.
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.
Additional Information
Control location (not applicable for cassette finish)
We will have positioned the controls where you requested during the
ordering process. However if you decide to swap the side that they are on, the
direction of the roll or need to trim the blind further, the controls can be
removed by simply unplugging them from the tube. This should be done prior to
fixing the brackets.
Reverse rolling the fabric (not applicable for cassette finish)
-
Standard
Roller blinds can have the fabric rolled onto the tube in two directions. The first is referred to as a ‘standard’ roll. This will place the fabric closest to the window or wall so that it comes down at the back of the tube. This is typically used with blackout blinds when they are mounted outside of a recess, the standard roll meaning that there is less light leakage. -
Reverse
The second method is referred to as a ‘reverse’ roll, which places the fabric so that it comes down at the front of the tube, effectively hiding the roll. This method will allow clearance behind the fabric, for window handles and other obstructions, if you’re mounting the blind inside a recess.
If you wish to change the roll method then it’s easy; simply pull the back of the chain to lower the blind, and continue pulling until the metal tube is exposed. Keep going and the blind will begin to raise, with the fabric now rolling up over the front of the roller tube. Note that this will reverse the direction you must pull the chain for raising and lowering the blind (you’ll now use the front of the chain to lower and the back of the chain to raise).
