Do it Yourself Guidelines

Here are some general DIY guidelines for installing blinds or shades. Keep in mind that specific instructions may vary based on the brand and type of window coverings you have, so always refer to the manufacturer's instructions included with your product.

These steps are intended as a basic overview:

Tools and Materials Needed:

  • Screwdriver
  • Drill
  • Drill bits
  • Tape measure
  • Pencil
  • Level
  • Brackets and screws provided with your blinds or shades

Preparation:

  • Unbox and inspect your blinds or shades to ensure all necessary components are present.
  • Measure your window accurately to determine the mounting location for your brackets. Measure both the width and height of the window to ensure a proper fit.

Installation Steps:

  • Mark Bracket Locations: Use a pencil to mark the positions where you'll install the brackets. Ensure they are level and at the appropriate height and distance from the window frame.
  • Install Brackets: Use a drill to create pilot holes at the marked bracket locations. Attach the brackets securely to the wall or window frame using the provided screws. Make sure they are level and aligned.
  • Mount the Headrail: For inside mount blinds or shades, slide the headrail into the brackets until it clicks into place. For outside mount, attach the headrail to the front of the brackets.
  • Attach Valance (if applicable): If your blinds or shades come with a valance, attach it according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  • Test Operation: Operate the blinds or shades to ensure they function correctly. Test the cord, motor or wand mechanism, as well as any tilt or lift mechanisms.
  • Make Adjustments: If the blinds are uneven or not hanging level, you may need to adjust the brackets or headrail. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for adjustments.
  • Motorized: Refer the manual to setup the connection.
  • Final Checks: Double-check that all screws are tight and secure.

Safety Tips:

  • If you're unsure about any step or encounter difficulties during installation, consult the manufacturer's instructions or consider seeking professional installation services.

Remember that these are general guidelines, and the specific steps may vary based on the brand and style of blinds or shades you have. Always follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer for the best results and safety.
