INSTALLATION GUIDE
CHAIN & CORD ROMAN BLINDS
Please Note: These instructions should be read thoroughly before installing.
This is a guide to assist in the installation and care of your blinds. Betta Blinds & Awnings does not guarantee the accuracy of
the information contained in this guide. We recommend an experienced expert installer to rely upon their own skills. This is
based on general knowledge concerning the assembly, materials and working process of the blinds, which is known to us at the
time of printing this guide, consequently, is subject to change and Betta Blinds & Awnings specifically reserves the right to

⬧
The person installing a corded internal window covering must attach a label to the corded window covering containing the
name and contact details of the person or company responsible for the installation.
⬧
They also must ensure that any warning label or swing tag supplied with the corded window covering remains attached to the
cord.
We recommend the use of the following Tools: Steel measuring tape, Carpenter’s level, Power or battery drill & bits, Flat blade
and Phillips head screwdrivers
The following should be included for each Roman Blind ordered:
Installation brackets
(Number of brackets is based on 200mm from each end plus 1 bracket per 800mm based on track width)
Installation gloves
We recommend clean, soft cotton gloves
(or the rubber gloves supplied)
be worn to avoid marking the fabrics
when installing and handling fabric blinds.
Since different screws are required to suit different fixing applications, we do not supply screws. Please ensure you use the correct screws
for mounting to the desired application, for example Gyprock, timber, concrete, brick, steel, or aluminium.
The most important procedure in installing these blinds is to be sure that the correct anchorage method has been used so that
the mounting area (i.e., wall or architrave) is able to support the weight of the blind and its operation
.
Brick or Rendered Surfaces Warning:
Make sure drilling is no closer than 25mm from edge of surfaces as the brick or
render may chip or break out.
INSTALLATION
1.
Check the marked width and drop sizes as indicated on the packaging against your original order.
2.
Each blind is marked to indicate the room location, as per your order form, to assist in establishing the correct fitting location
of multiple blind orders.
3.
If all is correct layout the blinds at their location and remove protective packaging.
4.
Remove the supplied installation brackets from their packaging.
5.
Untangle the operating chain or cords from the shipping position.
6.
Ensure the blind has brackets to suit the application, either face fix or reveal.
7.
Level mounting is critical to the correct operation of the blind (use a spirit level).
8.
Fix the required brackets in the necessary positions of equal spacing to accommodate load bearing distribution. (200mm
from each end plus 1 bracket per 800mm based on track width)
9.
Betta Blinds supplies mounting brackets only, and where appropriate the child safety devices.
10.
Once the brackets have been installed and levels checked the blind is ready to be installed into the brackets.
11.
Before going any further if pelmet required, please see fitting pelmets section below.

CORD OPERATION:
Install the blind tracking by placing the front section of the headtrack into the allocated and matching
clip end, lift the rear section of the headtrack into the bracket until it locks in. If correctly installed it will click when locked
firmly in place. Check that each clip is secure in place before moving to the next.
13.
To lock the cord and hold the fabric in the raised position move the cord to one side of the blind. To release and lower the
fabric pull cord gently to take the weight and move cord to opposite side of the blind. It is important when lowering the blind
that the cord is supported and lowered gently.
(Never let it fall without supporting the weight with the cord.)
14.
The child safety cleat for cord lock romans must always be used when the blind is in the raised position.
