Roman Blinds
We’ve made a handy video version of this fitting guide, just click the play

If you prefer to print the instructions or simply to follow step-by-step, just
keep reading.
Fitting the brackets
The brackets offer two methods of installation:
Use the single hole in the top of the bracket to fix to the lintel (the
‘ceiling’ of the recess).
Use two screws through the back plate to mount onto a facing surface (a wall
or window frame)
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.
For safety reasons, always ensure that the top of the blind is installed at least 150cm (1500mm) from the floor.
Fitting the blind
Situate the front lip of the headrail into the front of the bracket.
Push the back of the headrail upwards to lock it into the back of the
bracket.
To release the blind from the brackets at any point after installing, push firmly against the blind’s headrail to disengage it from the front of the bracket. At the same time, twist the back of the headrail downwards to release it from the back.
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.
Child Safety
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.
Operating the blind
Pull down on the front part of the chain to lower the blind, and pull down on the rear part of the chain to raise the blind.
Top Tip
If you find at any point that the blind has fallen to one side, the likelihood
is that this has been caused by a simple mix-up with the controls, in that
they may have been pulled the wrong way to either raise or lower, which can
cause the cords to roll up unevenly. To fix this, simply use the front of the
chain to fully lower the blind, then continue pulling the chain until it
raises to the top. The blind should even itself out as you do, and you can
prevent the same issue occurring again by making sure the chain is always
pulled in the correct direction from that point forward.
Additional Information
Removing the fabric for cleaning
If you need to remove the fabric, to take it to a dry-cleaner for example,
then that’s easy.
The fabric attaches at the front with velcro, simply peel the fabric away from
the headrail.
At the back, the cords attach to the fabric using clips, which double as a
child-safety feature. These clips are in two parts, and can be easily
unclipped to separate the cords from the fabric.
