Fitting a blind is so simple that we're confident it won't take you long. Just follow the steps below. You'll also receive more detailed printed instructions with your blinds should you need them. It's as easy as ABC.
What you will need
Power drill
Drill bit
Phillips Screwdriver (the one with the crossed head)
A pencil
Which drill bit?
If you're drilling into concrete, brick or plaster you should use a 5.5mm diameter masonry drill bit.
If you're drilling into wood, steel or UPVC you should use a 3mm diameter high-speed steel (HSS) drill bit.
Handy Hints
If you're drilling into tiles then cover your drilling point with masking tape. This will prevent the drill from slipping.
If you're drilling into UPVC make sure you avoid the sealed unit. If you're not sure, give us a call.
4 simple steps to fitting yourDIY blind
All our DIY blinds are easy to fit as the instructions below show.
Step 1
Gather your tools and unpack your blind. Inside you'll find all the fixtures and fittings you'll need, as well
as a more comprehensive set of instructions.
Step 2
Decide where you want your blind to be positioned and mark out your drill holes. In most cases you'll only need to drill 2 holes. Usually these should be positioned about 15cm from the end of the blind. Wider blinds will need more holes drilling, but don't worry, full details will come with your blind.
Step 3
Drill your holes and then screw the brackets into place. You'll also be provided with rawl plugs, should you
need to use them.
Step 4
Fit your blind into the brackets. Almost all styles of blind will just click into place. It really is that easy.
