Your How to DIY Guides

We offer a wide range of blind styles tailored for different needs and aesthetics:

  • Roller Blinds – Sleek and minimalist, available in light-filtering or blackout fabrics.

  • Roman Blinds – Soft folds of fabric for a classic, timeless look.

  • Venetian Blinds – Horizontal slats in wood or aluminium for versatile light control.

  • Vertical Blinds – Ideal for large windows or patio doors.

Need help deciding? Check our detailed breakdown of features, fabric types, light control, insulation properties, and child-safe mechanisms to find your perfect style.

Ensure a flawless fit with our precise measuring instructions:

Inside‑Mount (within the recess):

  • Measure width at top, middle, and bottom—use the smallest value.

  • Measure height at left, centre, right—use the smallest.

  • Measure depth to confirm enough space for the headrail (typically 35–50 mm).

Outside‑Mount (on wall/architrave):

  • Measure the full width of the window + add 50 mm on each side.

  • Measure the desired height (top to sill/floor) + 50 mm to minimise light gaps.

Always measure twice and note your final numbers clearly (e.g., “W 1350 mm × H 1800 mm”).

Our simple installation process means you can fit them yourself with minimal hassle:

Checklist – What You’ll Need:

  • Drill & drill bits

  • Screwdriver

  • Level

  • Measuring tape

  • Pencil

  • Wall plugs (for hollow walls)

Easy Steps:

  1. Mount Type Decision – Choose inside or outside mount based on your window style.

  2. Marking – Hold the blind up and mark bracket points, ensuring level alignment and correct orientation.

  3. Drill & Secure – Drill pilot holes. Use plugs if needed. Install brackets properly.

  4. Snap Blind In – Insert the control (chain) side first, then the spring pin side until it clicks.

  5. Fit Chain Safety – Attach the child‑safe chain tensioner on the wall.

  6. Test Operation – Roll the blind up/down to check for smooth performance.

Personalise your blind to suit your space and lifestyle:

  • Fabric: Choose from light-filtering, dim-out, or blackout.

  • Roll Direction: Front (façade) or back roll.

  • Control Type: Chain, cord, go cord-free, or motorised (with smart‑home compatibility).

  • Bottom Bar Styles: Slim, chunky, or decorative.

  • Bracket Finishes: Match your décor in white, silver, brown, or custom colours.

Extend the life and beauty of your blinds:

  • Roller & Roman Blinds: Vacuum gently with a soft brush or wipe with a slightly damp cloth.

  • Venetian & Vertical Blinds: Dust slats regularly; deep clean with mild soap and water.

  • Avoid Harsh Cleaners: These may damage fabrics and finishes.
