With any remaining brackets (supplied if required), space them evenly between the left and right side brackets, being careful they won’t interfere with the ladders of the blind when installed.

Step 6


Unwind the cords from the control end. Holding the blind closed, align the front of the headrail to the brackets and tilt the base outwards to allow the headrail to ‘hook’ onto the front of each bracket.

Once the front is hooked, use your thumbs to push the back of the headrail up until you hear it ‘click’. Do this at each bracket to ensure the blind is secure.

Step 8


1 x cord cleat with screws

Cord cleats are attached to the hex wand to store excess cord when the blind is in the ‘up’ position.


Blind operation: To lower, hold the group of cords across the face of the blind and pull gently to release the cord lock before lowering the blind. To tilt the blind, twist the hex tilt wand.
