Please read this manual thoroughly before installation and use to ensure proper function and longevity of your product.
Setup and Installation
1. Measuring for the Perfect Fit
Accurate measurements are crucial for proper installation. Determine whether you will be using an inside mount or an outside mount.
Image Description: A diagram illustrating measurement guidelines for both inside and outside mount installations. For inside mount, it shows measuring window depth (must be ≥2"), top width (W1), bottom width (W2), and window height (H). For outside mount, it shows adding 4" to 6" to both window width and height for the order size.
Inside Mount:
- Measure the window depth. Ensure it is greater than 2 inches.
- Measure the top width (W1) and the bottom width (W2). The order width should be the smaller value between W1 and W2.
- Measure the window height (H). The order height must be greater than H.
Outside Mount:
- Order Width: Window Width + 4" to 6"
- Order Height: Window Height + 4" to 6"
- Measuring Tip: Outside mount will cover your entire window opening along with the window frame. Adding 4 to 6 inches is recommended for optimal coverage.
Image Description: A table titled "RECOMMENDED ORDER WIDTH (Inside Mount)" providing a guide for selecting the correct order width based on the measured window width range. For example, a window width range of 20.25" < W ≤ 20.5" corresponds to an order width of 20".
If the standard sizes do not fit your window, custom sizes may be available. Refer to the product listing for custom ordering options.
2. Secure Drill-Mount Installation
The blinds come with a complete drill-mount kit for a sturdy and permanent installation. This method ensures reliable stability on walls, windowsills, or ceilings.
Image Description: A visual guide showing the three steps for secure installation. Step 1: Secure brackets with screws. Step 2: Align and snap the blind into place. Step 3: Pull down the shade to complete the installation.
- Step 1: Secure Brackets
Using the provided screws and alignment templates, securely attach the mounting brackets to your desired location (wall, windowsill, or ceiling).
- Step 2: Align and Snap
Carefully align the headrail of the blind with the installed brackets. Snap the blind firmly into place until it is securely seated.
- Step 3: Complete Installation
Once the blind is mounted, gently pull down the shade to ensure it operates smoothly and is fully installed.
