Replacing your roller blinds in your Brierfield home can seem like a daunting task, but the truth is that it’s a relatively simple process. Here we look at the steps involved in replacing your roller blinds with minimal fuss and maximum success.
Step One: Measuring for Your Replacement Blinds
The most important step in replacing your roller blinds is to ensure you measure accurately for the new blinds. Take three different measurements – the width, height, and depth – and make sure you allow for any overlap or easy when ordering from your supplier.
It’s also important to ensure the brackets you use are compatible with the new blinds. If you’re unsure, your supplier should be able to recommend an appropriate type or size of bracket when you purchase the blinds.
Step Two: Installing Your New Roller Blinds
Once your brackets are correctly installed, you can begin to hang your new roller blinds. Carefully slot in the blind at the head rail, ensuring it is firmly secured.
Do the same with the other end of the blind, making sure both ends are properly secured in the brackets. Close the blind to make sure it fits in the brackets correctly and that the fabric is taut. If it doesn’t fit, remove and adjust the blind until it hangs correctly in both brackets.
Step Three: Connecting the Chain
Once your blind is hanging correctly in the brackets, you can begin to connect the chain. Ensure the chain is securely connected to the carriers and the chain retainer and that the chain is not too tight. You should be able to easily raise and lower the blind when the chain is connected.
Now you’re ready for your final step: testing.
Step Four: Testing Your New Blinds
Before you celebrate having replaced your roller blinds, it’s important to conduct a final test of the blinds. Make sure they are dominant in the brackets, that the fabric is taut, and that the chain is securely connected. Finally, raise and lower the blind a few times to ensure the chain moves smoothly and that the blind does not come out of the brackets.
Once your blind passes this final test, you’re done! Congratulations on replacing your roller blinds in your Brierfield home. With the steps outlined above you can now enjoy looking at your new blinds – without worrying about them coming unstuck!
