How To Fit Aluminium Venetian Blinds

Top Fixing
Venetian blinds First you must measure the distance where any handles protrude from the window frame then mark this measurement on the lintel at the top of the window recess and use this measurement to the point at the bracket of the fixing bracket. First measure to where the brackets will be positioned by looking at where the components are inside the head rail as the brackets must miss these. Then mark the position of the holes using the brackets as a template and screw the brackets to the lintel using screws and rawl plugs with the swing arm facing into the room towards you. When this is done pull all the swing arms on the brackets over to the right hand side of the bracket so they are sticking into the room then offer the head rail up underneath the brackets. Once in place push all the swing arms inwards towards the head rail until flush with the front of the head rail which will cause the bracket then to grip the head rail and keep it in place.

Operating Your Roller Blinds

Operating Roller Blinds Raise And Lower To raise and lower your aluminium venetian blind you need to pull the single cord pull down towards the floor or window sill this will raise the blind upwards then when you have the blind at the required position pull the cord away from the window to the right or left of the blind for the cord lock barrel to grip the cord to keep the blind in position.

Tilt Up Or Down To tilt the blind you will need to use the clear plastic tilt wand just twist it one way to tilt the slats upwards and eventually close and twist the other way to tilt the slats downwards and eventually to close.

How To Clean Your Roller Blinds

Regular and carful vacuuming of your blind will keep it clean and free from dust by using the brush attachment on your hover and gently move the attachment from left to right over your blind will keep your aluminium venetian blinds looking their best, if preferred a damp cloth can be used.
