• Tape measure
• Level
• Appropriate mounting hardware (included in your kit)

Prepare the Mounting Area:

Before mounting the blinds, the first step is to prepare the mounting area. Firstly, measure the width and length of the window that you will be covering. Next, make sure to mark the measurements directly on the wall or window trim. You will also need to use a level to draw a level line that meets the measurements you have markedthis will be used as a guide during installation.

Create the Mounting Brackets:

Your kit should include mounting brackets, mounting screws, and wedges. Begin by attaching the mounting screws and brackets onto each side of the window trim (or the wall, if that is where you will be mounting the blinds). Make sure that the brackets and screws are firmly attached. Make sure to leave enough space between the brackets to accommodate the width of the blind. To ensure that the blind is secure, be sure to use the supplied wedges to the brackets for extra security.

Attach the Head Rail:

Once the mounting has been taken care of, then it's time to attach the head rail. First, match up the head rail of the blind to the mounting brackets. Secure the head rail to the mounting brackets using the supplied screws.

Hang the Slats:

Once the head rail is securely attached to the mounting brackets, then it's time to hang the slats. Start by inserting the first slat into the track located at the bottom of the head rail. Gently fold up the slats and insert them into the upper track. Make sure that all of the slats are securely in place before sliding the tilt wand into the clip located at the bottom of the head rail.

Test the Blinds:

Make sure to test your blinds for functionality after installation. If you can't raise or lower the slats properly, and the blinds didn't come with a tension clip, then adjust the tilt wand to increase its tension.
