What you'll need
You don’t need expert tools for the job, but we’d recommend the following:
The correct screws and wall plugs
This could be plaster, wood or even steel depending on the surface you'll be fitting your blind to. We recommend looking online to ensure you get the best fitting for you blind.
What comes with my blind?
Fitting your blind
Step 1 - Fitting the brackets
Unpack your Roman blind and check that everything is present. Now you need to fit the blind.
Roman blinds come with a set of swivel brackets. The larger the blind gets, the more of these you may have.
Decide how you want to fit; you can choose from top-fixing or face-fixing.
Top fix means to install the screws bottom-up through the top of the brackets, this method is used for attaching to the ceiling or top of the window recess.
Face fixing means to fit through the back side of the brackets, directly onto a vertical surface, such as a wall.
Step 2 - Fitting the blind
Your blind has a velcro part that sticks onto the head rail, we recommend removing the top of the blind from the head rail so you can see what you're doing with the brackets for this next step.
The swivel brackets that come with your blind will have a slight lip that slots into the top of the headrail, near the front. Use a gentle swing motion to slot your headrail into place.
You may need to angle the blind slightly. Ensure the front arm is opened counter-clockwise for the next step.
Once you have done this, with the brackets and headrail sitting nicely in place, swing the arm to the left, ending in a closed position. This will keep the blind locked into place. Don't be afraid to use a little bit of force if you need to with this step.
Velcro your Roman blind fabric back into place, hiding the brackets arm from the front. It's as easy as that!
Care Tips
Roman blinds, though packed with as much care as possible, can be prone to slight creasing. This can vary depending on the fabric material. Creases should drop out naturally in around 2 weeks.
Roman blinds are kept free of dust and debris by being used on a regular basis, raising the blind open and closed to help avoid dust build up.
Lightly dust with a microfibre or feather duster, or for a faster method, a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment for those awkward angles.
For deep cleans, we’d recommend avoiding using bleach and cleaning fluids as these could damage the blind and soft fabric fibres. Roman blinds must be dry-cleaned to avoid damage, however, please be mindful of the lining of this blind type, it’s important to mention this to the dry-cleaning expert.
Child Safety
The safety device must be installed at the maximum distance possible from the control mechanism, and at least 1.5 metres from the floor to prevent looped chain becoming slack.
Place the safety device on the wall and mark the positioning of the 2 screw holes. Drill holes using a suitable drill bit.
Place device into position ensuring the chain is fully taut. Screw the safety device securely to the wall using suitable fixings.
CHILDREN CAN STRANGLE IF A SAFETY DEVICE IS NOT INSTALLED. ALWAYS USE A SAFETY DEVICE TO KEEP CORDS AND CHAINS OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
These blinds have been tested to BSEN16433:2014 and BSEN1634:2014 standard.
Raise cords/tapes used at the back of the blind feature safety break points, which are also designed to snap under pressure. Simply clip the back break points back together if this happens.
WARNING
Young children can be strangled by loops in pull cords, chains, tapes and inner cords that operate the product.
To avoid strangulation and entanglement, keep cords out of the reach of young children.
Cords may become wrapped around a child's neck. Move beds, cots and furniture away from window covering cords.
Do not tie cords together. Make sure cords do not twist and create a loop.
