How to Install Outside Mount Vertical Blinds

Описание: Most people think installing their own blinds is hard. Following the simple, step-by-step instructions in this video though makes hanging your custom vertical blinds easy to do yourself! Just screw in your brackets, snap on the headrail and valance, clip on the vanes and you’re done!


Here’s how you do it:

1. Mark where you want to place your brackets. One will go on each side of your blind, tucked right above the corner of your window frame, which will put it 2-4” from the end of the headrail once it is installed. Any remaining brackets should be evenly spaced between the two end brackets with no more than 30 inches between two neighboring brackets.

2. Once you have the locations marked for your brackets, place a bracket over each spot and mark where the screws will go.

3. Predrill the holes in the marked locations and screw the brackets into place. Once they are installed, make sure they are level.

4. Clip the headrail into place by placing the front of the headrail into the front groove of the bracket.

5. Then tilt the back up towards the ceiling until it clips into the back of the bracket. Depending on the width of your blind, you may need an additional set of hands for this part.

6. Now attach the vanes. It doesn’t matter which way they face as long as they all face the same direction. Just slide the hole-punched end of the vane into the plastic stem. Gently tug it down to ensure it has hooked onto the plastic clip correctly. Repeat the process for all of your vanes.

7. The next thing you’ll have to do is attach the valance. Simply clip the white valance clips onto the headrail. Then position the valance so that the flat top slides into the back grooves of the clips. If it is not centered, simply slide the valance left or right to adjust.

8. The final step is to test out your new blinds. Open, close, push and pull your blinds a few times to make sure everything looks great and works well. Make sure that whenever you’re expanding or compressing the vanes, they are in the open position. This helps reduce wear and tear and prevent breakage.
