Some tips for you:

Step 1: Decide where and how you want your blinds to be installed: inside, outside or above the window frame.
On blind installations, the brackets are universal and work for any blind placement: inside, outside or over the window frame.

Step 2: Determine which side you would like your chain to hang.
In a blinds installation you must think about the furniture that you have around the window and choose which side would be best for the chain to be. For example, if you have a sofa or an armchair on the right hand side of your window, then having the chain there would make your life easier. Don’t worry too much about this step, you can change your plan later during the installation process.

Step 3: Decide which way you want the blind to roll: over or under the roller.
Most people in blind installations prefer to install them under the roller, because this way the blinds provides better coverage. If you have any items protruding from the windows, you can set up the blinds to roll over the roller.

Step 4: Measure the size of your window
We are very precize with this and we can go to your place for free. If you want to do it for yourself, use your measuring tape determine the distance between two horizontal points of the window frame. If you are planning to install your roller blinds inside, allow for a 3cm gap on each side to accommodate the blind.

Step 5: Order the blinds
You can do so online or go to a home improvement store. But, if you are not sure about what size to get, order a larger blind, which you can then cut to size.

Step 6: Determine the position of the brackets
Now that you have your roller blind kit, you are ready to start the real work. Measure out and mark the locations of where the brackets will be placed. It is important that the brackets are at the same height and depth relative to the window frame.

Step 7: Mount the brackets
Pre-drill the screw holes where your pencil dots are, using your cordless drill. Make sure that the holes in the bracket are directly over the two holes you’ve just drilled. Then, with your Phillips head drill bit attached, secure the bracket with the screws from your roller blind kit. Repeat the process for the other bracket.

Step 8: Install the roller blind
Align the chain end of your blind with the chain bracket and slot them into place. Do the same for the other end, called the pin end. Your blind should click into place with relative ease. If it doesn’t, you might need some help from a professional.

Step 9: Secure the chain
This step is in compliance with american child safety laws, which state that if the chain is less than 1.6m from the floor, it needs to be secured using a P clip. This step is necessary to prevent any risk of a child or pet getting caught up in the chain, which can result in strangulation.

Get the P clip from your roller blind kit and click it onto the bottom of the chain loop. Then, hold it into position on the window frame and mark with a pencil where the screw will be placed. Make sure the tension on the chain is minimal before you screw the p-clip onto the frame, using your cordless drill and Phillips head drill bit. This is very important ina blind installation.
