New blinds can instantly update your home.
In this video, we're going to show you how easy it is to install a Zone Interiors Venetian
Blind yourself.
The first thing to decide is whether you want an inside mount or outside mount.
An inside mount is when the blind is mounted inside the window frame.
This will provide you with a minimalist, streamline look.
For it to look good, ensure your window is free from any obstacles, such as window winders
or window sills, that might get in the way and spoil the look.
With an outside mount the blind is mounted either on the window frame itself or outside
the frame on the wall.
An outside mount generally improves the block-out and privacy of your window.
So, whichever you choose, the installation instructions are the same.
Zone Interiors' blinds can be mounted in a few different ways.
Follow the instructions in the pack for your preferred method.
In this video, we're going to show you how to install an inside mounted Venetian blind.
All your blinds are designed to fit most standard sized windows.
Here, we've used the standard blind.
If you have a non-standard window size, most of our blinds can be specially cut to size.
Just ask the Special Orders desk at your local Bunnings store, or team member from any other
independent retailers that stock Zone Interiors blinds.
So, let's get started.
First you need to gather your tools.
All Zone Interiors blinds come with all the required mounting and hardware components.
But you'll also need a pencil, a drill with a drill bit, a Phillips head screwdriver,
a measuring tape, a spirit level and a step ladder.
The instructions are all in the pack.
Align the brackets on either side of the window frame.
Check to ensure they're aligned evenly and are straight using the spirit level.
Most Zone Interiors Venetian Blinds, more than 120 centimetres wide, also come with
one or two centre brackets.
Install these for extra support.
Using a pencil, mark the screw holes on each bracket.
Your bracket will have more screw holes that what you need.
The additional holes are there to accommodate different installation requirements, depending
on whether you are top, side, or face fixing your blinds.
Use your drill, fitted with the appropriate size drill bit, to drill a pilot hole.
Screw the bracket in place.
All brackets require two screws, which are provided.
Your screw size will vary depending on the style of the blind you're installing.
Hold the blind from underneath the headrail and place the front lid of the headrail into
the brackets along the length of the blind.
Now push the blind towards the window and into place, ensuring you securely clip the
blind into the bracket.
Lower the blind.
This is so you can add the child safety clip.
It also keeps all lift cords neat and tidy.
Screw the child safety clip into the window frame at no less than 160 centimetres from
the ground.
For more information, read the instructions carefully, to ensure you correctly install
the child safety device.
See our infographic on why you should.
You're all done.
Now you can tilt the blind for ultimate light and privacy control.
It's time to sit back and enjoy your handiwork, or get moving on the rest of your windows.
