Timber Blinds Installation Guide

Tools You’ll Need

  • Measuring tape

  • Power drill

  • Screws (suitable for your wall type and length, which you will need to purchase separately)

  • Pencil

  • Ladder (if needed)

Accurate measurements are key for a perfect blind fit. Whether for inside or outside mounts, follow our measurement guide here: Window Blinds Measuring Guide.

Step 1: Measure your Window Space

With the brackets in hand, proceed to mark where they will be mounted:

  • Hold the brackets up to the window frame or wall.

  • Use a pencil to mark where the screw holes will be drilled on either side of the window frame or above the window (for outside mount).

Tip: For inside mounts, position the brackets deep enough into the frame to avoid any obstruction from window handles.

Step 2: Mark the Bracket Locations

Step 3: Select the Right Screws and Install the Brackets

Since screws are not provided, you'll need to choose ones appropriate for your wall type:

  • Drywall: Use drywall anchors and screws to prevent the brackets from pulling out over time.

  • Brick/Concrete: Butterfly plugs are recommended to securely fasten the screws.

  • Wood: Wood screws will work well if you're drilling directly into wooden window frames.

Once you have the appropriate screws:

  1. Use your power drill to create pilot holes in the marked spots.

  2. Secure the brackets in place using the screws.

  3. Use a spirit level to ensure the brackets are aligned properly.

After securing the brackets:

  • Insert the headrail of the timber blinds into the mounted brackets.

  • Ensure it clicks into place or is firmly secured based on the bracket design.

Tip: Test the blinds to make sure they raise and lower smoothly.

Step 4: Hang the Timber Blinds

Some timber blinds come with a decorative pelmet to conceal the headrail. If yours includes one:

  • Align the pelmet with the headrail.

  • Secure it using the provided clips or fasteners.

Step 5: Attach the Pelmet (Optional)

Final Adjustments

Once the blinds are mounted:

  • Test the movement by lowering and raising the blinds.

  • Adjust the cord to ensure the slats are opening and closing properly.

If everything works as expected, you're done!

Video Guide

  • Since different wall types (drywall, brick, wood, etc.) require specific screws, it's best for customers to purchase the correct screws and anchors for their unique installation needs.

  • Consult your local hardware store. Bring along a picture or description of your wall type, and they can help you find the right screws and anchors.

  • Regular dusting and an occasional wipe with a damp cloth will keep your timber blinds in great condition.
