We hang blinds with our own hands

You have purchased multi-louver shutters and arein high spirits, looking forward to how they will change your room and how beautiful they will look on the window. But after all, what a misfortune - they also need somehow to be fitted to this very window.

You can, of course, invite a master who, for some amount of money, will perform such a responsible job. And why do not you install the blinds with your own hands?

First you need to decide where you want themwill hang. No, it is clear that you need to install blinds by your own hands on the window, and not on the front door, but they can be fixed both to the ceiling and directly to the window opening. Everything depends on the design and the size of the blinds. If your plastic blinds exactly match the size of the window, you will have to fasten them directly to the opening. If their size is larger, we will install the blinds with our own hands on the ceiling or on the wall. Well, if they are smaller than a window, they will have to carry them back to the store, since there will be no sense in hanging them.

Once you have read this far, then you still decided to install the blinds with your own hands. The decision is correct and worthy of a thinking and skilful being. Let's start.

We are armed with a drill, a knife and a screwdriver (if there is not a screwdriver, the usual screwdriver will do). You will also need the help of a pencil and a building level.

Using a knife, open the box carefully withblinds and see what we have to deal with. The standard packaging should include a cornice, latches for it, lamellas (these are such plates, of which, in fact, the blinds consist, depending on your choice, they can be wooden, plastic, and woven), chains, brackets, latches , control cord, dowels, screws and installation and installation instructions.

If something is missing, you do not need to immediately blame the bad employees of the store. It is possible that this is not required to install your blinds.

Next, we pick up a pencil and a level, andwe plan the fixing places for the cornice. Try to do this as carefully as possible, otherwise the form of the obliquely attached blinds will not add aesthetics to your interior, and the mechanism for turning the lamellas will always seize.

At the selected locations, holes are drilled, andon the brackets are fastened by the cornice latches. Brackets you need if you decide to fix the blinds to the wall, and not to the ceiling. The eaves are inserted into the latches, and the most creative part of the work begins - the installation of lamellas. They need to be carefully removed from the box one by one and immediately fastened to runners. It is this sequence of actions that is due to the fact that if you confuse the order of the slats, then you will have to spend quite a lot of time collecting the originally conceived by the manufacturer of the drawing. However, if you prudently chose plastic blinds without patterns or are a fan of avant-garde trends in art, then you should not be embarrassed.

After all the lamellas have fallen into place, a guide chain is attached to them, and the process of installing blinds with their own hands can be considered complete with a clear conscience.

We collect carefully the debris, my hands and enjoy the view of the blinds themselves installed in the room.
