3
/
4
”)
shorter than the blind width. Replace the cap.

tape.
C

3
/
8
”) and
stitch down the side.
STEP 7
POSITIONING THE HEADRAIL
PLEASE NOTE: Additional fasteners other than those
sent with your blind may be required depending on the
mounting surface. Wallboard and plaster require the use
of anchors such as expansion or toggle bolts. Brick, tile
or stone need special plugs and drill bits. Remember to
always pre-drill holes in wood to avoid splitting.
A Inside a Recess
Decide the position of the headrail so that it will be clear
of any latches and window fixtures. If you need to reduce
the width of the headrail to fit the recess,
this should be
done BEFORE assembling
. See ‘Trimming the headrail’
instruction on the following page.
B Outside Recess
Decide the position of the headrail so that the overlaps on
both sides of the recess are equal. It is advisable to allow
a minimum of 5cm (2”) overlap on each end.
STEP 9
INSERTING THE BOTTOM BAR
Trim the bottom bar to the same width as the roman
rods cut previously (2cm (
3
/
4
”) shorter than the blind
width). Insert into the bottom pocket of the blind.
Place a tacking stitch at each end to hold in place.
