Double check the fitting location.

Is this blind going in the reveal or on the face?
What side is the control on?

What are you attaching your blind to?

Architrave

That’s perfect, just follow the below instructions.

Wall

Some of your brackets will be able to attach to wall studs behind the plaster, however some brackets will need to be attached using hollow wall anchors.
We recommend using a Ramset hollow wall anchor gun.

Concrete?

Use a masonry drill and concrete screws

Make sure you have clean hands!

The last thing you want to do is get your blind dirty whilst installing it.

The cleat should be attached to the wall just behind the edge of the blind. Remember, it must be at-least 1600mm above the floor.

Position the cleat, and drill pilot holes
Attach the cleat either directly to the stud, or using hollow wall anchors if required

Place your bracket so that the bottom outside corner is directly on the 50mm spot. This is where your bracket will be installed.
