Choose Your Mount Type

The first decision before installing any blind. This determines your measurement approach and the final look.

Inside Mount

Blind fits inside the window recess for a clean, built-in look.

Advantages

  • Sleek, recessed appearance
  • Lets you see full window trim
  • Best for decorative frames

Limitations

  • Requires minimum depth (usually 50–70mm)
  • Blind width is limited to recess size

Step-by-Step Installation

Applies to most roller, zebra, and venetian blind systems. Total time: approximately 40 minutes.

Gather Your Tools

You'll need: a power drill, wall plugs (Rawl plugs), a spirit level, measuring tape, pencil, and a screwdriver. Most brackets are supplied with the blind — check your package.

10 min

Mark the Bracket Positions

Hold the bracket against the wall (or inside recess) at your desired position. Use a pencil to mark the screw holes. For a standard blind, you'll have two end brackets and one or two centre supports depending on width.

Use a spirit level across both bracket marks before drilling. Even a small tilt will be very noticeable once the blind is up.

15 min

Drill and Fix Brackets

Drill pilot holes at your marks. For masonry or brick walls, insert wall plugs first. Screw brackets firmly in place — they should not wobble at all. For wooden frames, self-tapping screws may be sufficient.

If drilling into a tiled surface, use a tile drill bit and drill slowly at low speed with no hammer action to avoid cracking.

5 min

Attach the Headrail

Clip or slide the blind headrail into the fixed brackets. Most systems click into place — you should hear or feel a positive lock. For roller blinds, ensure the spring mechanism side goes on the correct bracket (usually marked).

05
5 min

Hang and Test

Lower and raise the blind several times to test smooth operation. Check that it sits level when fully lowered. For chain-operated blinds, ensure the chain runs freely and is not kinked. For motorised blinds, set the upper and lower limits per the controller instructions.

If the blind pulls to one side when lowered, one bracket may be slightly higher. Loosen, adjust, and re-check with a spirit level.

Fit Child Safety Clips

If your blind has a chain or cord, fix the safety cleat or tensioner to the wall within easy adult reach but well out of a child's reach. Wrap the chain when not in use. This is a legal safety requirement, not optional.

Keep cords and chains away from cots, beds, and play areas. If in doubt, opt for a cordless or motorised system.

Common Questions

Things customers often ask before or during installation.

Most wall types work — plasterboard, brick, masonry, or timber frames. The fixings and technique differ slightly for each. If unsure, bring a sample to our showroom and we'll advise.

For lightweight blinds, adhesive-mounted brackets are available. These work best on smooth, non-porous surfaces and for blinds under 1.5kg. Not recommended for long-term or permanent installations.

As a general rule, blinds over 1200mm wide require at least one centre support bracket. Wide PVC or wooden blinds may need two. This is specified in your blind's documentation.

Almost always a levelling issue with one bracket being fractionally higher than the other. Loosen the higher bracket, adjust down by 2–3mm, and recheck with a spirit level.

Yes — we offer full installation for all orders. It's the easiest option, especially for motorised systems. Contact us when placing your order to include it in your quote.
