How do Roman Blinds Work?

Roman blinds consist of fabric panels connected by a cord system threaded through horizontal channels. When lifted, the cords pull the fabric into evenly spaced, tidy folds for a sleek look. When lowered, the blinds extend smoothly to cover the window, providing both privacy and light control.

What’s included with my Roman blind?

Your Roman blinds come with brackets and a child safety clip. However, screws are not included, as the type needed depends on the surface you’re mounting the brackets on. Be sure to use 4mm screws that are appropriate for your specific surface.

Tools you'll need

The following tools are required to install your Roman blinds:

Installation Steps

  • Determine Bracket Placement
    Place the brackets at each end of the blind’s mounting area, ensuring they are level. Use a pencil to mark the screw hole positions.
  • Step Title
    Drill small guide holes at the marked spots to ease screwing and prevent splitting.
    For masonry surfaces, use wall plugs for a secure hold.
  • Secure the Brackets
    Firmly screw the brackets into place, ensuring they are aligned and stable.
  • Install the Blind
    Snap the Roman blind headrail into the brackets until it locks securely.
  • Fit the Child Safety Device
    Mount the child safety device to the wall, keeping the cord taut yet functional.
  • Test the Blind
    Raise and lower the blind smoothly to check its operation, making adjustments if needed.

FAQs

Are Roman Blinds Easy to Install?

Yes, installing Roman blinds is a simple process. It involves securing the provided brackets to the window frame or wall and attaching the blinds to the brackets. For a detailed guide, check out our step-by-step measuring video.

Can Roman Blinds Be Mounted on a Window Frame?

Absolutely! Roman blinds can be mounted directly onto the window frame by fixing the included brackets with screws and securely clipping the blinds into place.

Should Roman Blinds Be Installed Inside or Outside the Window Frame?

Roman blinds can be installed both inside and outside the window frame. An inside mount creates a sleek, tailored look by fitting neatly within the frame. An outside mount, where the blinds are fixed to the wall, can make the window appear larger while also minimizing light seepage.

Maintenance

Your new blind requires no maintenance, but we recommend regular visual inspections to check for any damaged components that could affect operation or pose a safety risk. If maintenance is needed, please contact us immediately.

Child Safety Warning

Young children can be at risk of strangulation from loops in pull cords, chains, tapes, and inner cords that operate the product. To prevent this danger, keep all cords out of their reach, as they can become wrapped around a child's neck. Position beds, cribs, and furniture away from window covering cords. Avoid tying cords together, and ensure they do not twist or form loops.
