How to Install PerfectFit Blinds

Step 1

Awesome – you've got your PerfectFit Blind! Now, let’s get it fitted to your window. No drill needed, and it’s so simple that even the least DIY-savvy among us could do it with one eye closed!

Where possible, we’ll ship your PerfectFit blind as a fully assembled unit. However, depending on your delivery location and the courier, this might not always be the case. If your blind’s frame isn't already assembled, you’ll need to start at Step 1. But if it is – lucky you – you can jump straight to Step 2!

1.1 To assemble the frame, lay out your blind on a flat surface, making sure there are no tangled cords or obstructions.

1.2 Clip the corner covers onto each corner, then attach the sides of the frame to the top and bottom corner pegs, pressing them firmly into place and securing with the eight(8) screws included. That’s it – frame assembled!

Step 2

Now, let’s check your tension (not the kind in your neck!). Do you have to? Not really, but it’s quick and could save you time later if your blind needs a slight tweak. With the blind standing upright, raise and lower it as usual. Does the fabric or slats start dropping as if by magic? If so, you can easily increase the tension.

Look under the bottom frame bar – you'll find a small spring with a brass clamp holding the cord. Using a small screwdriver, loosen the screw, pull the loose end through by about 5-10mm, and then tighten the screw. Test the blind again. Too tight? Loosen the screw and release a bit of cord.

Pro Tip: Mark the cord either side of the clamp with a pen, so you know how much you’re adjusting.

Step 3

Nearly there! Let’s get those metal brackets in place. Line up the frame so the brackets fit through the pre-cut slots, and... Perfect!

Use a credit card as a guide – hold it vertically in the corner of the glass. Each bracket should be located at the bottom of the card's position (as shown in the image). Your blind will have at least four brackets. If it has a drop of over 1200mm, you’ll have two extra brackets, which go vertically at the midpoint of your window. Measure to find the centre, then insert your brackets.

Top Tips:

If you feel resistance when sliding the brackets between the gasket and the glass, a dab of washing-up liquid on the bracket will help ease it into position.

Before pushing the frame into the brackets, line it up to make sure the slots align. If they don’t, you’ll know exactly where to adjust.

That’s it – job done and not a single messy drill hole needed! Now, stand back and admire your new blind and the Perfect(Fit!) job you did. Any questions? Feel free to get in touch – our online team is more than happy to help.
