Made to measure wood blinds fit in most rooms and make a great window covering. If you aren't used to fitting wood blinds then it can take you a while to work out how to fit them. Even though it is relatively straight forward I know from experience that plenty of people get it wrong, especially the first time they fit them. The very first thing to do is clear the window of any objects - you don't want to break anything! Then hold the wooden venetian up to the window. This is to make sure it fits! I have spent time putting up brackets only to find the blind wouldn't fit - what a waste of time. Then make sure the fixing position is sound - you should really have done this when you measured so I'll assume your wall / window frame is solid enough to take the weight of the blind. Mark the fixing positions for your brackets - this way you can make sure they are level. Make sure you have the right drill bit for where you are fitting. The brackets for wood blinds are usually box bracket, and are the ones we supply. These brackets let you fix to the top of the window, the side or the wall. Wooden venetain blinds come with a valance that cover the metal headrail and complete the look. This will either fix by velcro or plastic clips. The plastic clips offer a much more secure fixing, as the glue that holds the velcro can weaken over time. If you are lucky enough to have the clips, then you may need to fix them before you hang the blind. The blind slots into the brackets and you are about done. All you need to do is attach the valance which should complete the look and hopefully cover any gaps at the side of the head rail as well as the metal headrail itself. Test the blind to make sure it works, and then enjoy for years to come.
