blinds 2go Wave Curtains
Before you begin
- If you are using top-fix brackets, the front edge of the bracket must be at least 75mm (3”) away from the facing surface behind the rail. This will ensure that the waves in the fabric do not brush against the wall or window behind.
Installing the brackets
Face Fix Bracket
- Use two screws to fix the bracket onto the facing surface.
- Loosen the screw in the centre of the top of the bracket enough to allow the locking part to move back and forth.
- Locate the front lip of the curtain headrail into the front hook of the bracket.
- Locate the front lip of the curtain headrail into the front hook of the bracket.
- Rotate the headrail so that the back lip slots into the locking part of the bracket, then tighten the bracket screw to secure the rail in place.
Top-Tip:
The depth of the bracket is adjustable, allowing the track to be closer to or
further from the fixing surface. Loosen the screw at the back of the top
section, slide the section backwards or forwards to adjust, then tighten the
screw to lock.
Top Fix Bracket
Start by clipping the brackets onto the rail, spaced out as above.
- Locate the front lip of the curtain headrail into the front hook of the bracket.
- Rotate the headrail so that the back lip slots into the locking part of the bracket.
- Hold the rail up to the fitting surface and mark out the screw holes with a pencil.
Put the rail safely to one side and drill holes where you marked out the brackets, then insert a rawl plug into each hole.
- Use a single screw for each bracket, through the centre hole in the top of the bracket.
Hanging your curtains
- Insert the hooks into the plastic eyelets in the headrail.
- Continue until all of the hooks are inserted, then enjoy your beautiful new curtains!
Dressing your curtains
- As curtains are a soft fabric product, a little dressing is sometimes required to finish the installation perfectly. ‘Stack’ the curtains over to the sides and check that the folds are all even in size and shape. Starting from the outside edge, work from the top downwards and run your hands firmly down the length of each fold.
- For a really professional finish, you can even ‘bandage’ the curtains, though this is entirely optional. Wrap several runs of spare fabric around the curtains, making sure that the folds are straight and even as you do so – wrap them tightly enough to hold the folds in place, but not so tightly that they squeeze the fabric. Leave them bandaged for 2 or 3 days, then remove the bandages and you should find the folds are perfect.
Top-Tip:
When you first unpack your curtains they may be quite creased – this is
normal, as they’ve been folded and packed for transit. These creases will hang
out over time and we recommend leaving them to do so. If you have access to an
upright steamer though, you can try lightly steaming the fabric (on a low
setting) to encourage those creases to drop out faster.
