Vertical Blinds fitting inside a recess – Blind Fitting Expert

April 6, 2014 by Blind Fitting Expert Leave a Comment

The versatility of vertical blinds allows them to be fitted in any area of the home. Vertical blinds provide a practical solution for shading and privacy to patio doors, french doors and the increasingly popular bi-fold doors. Kitchens, bathrooms and living rooms are an ideal setting for vertical blinds to be fitted.
Fitting vertical blinds supplies total light control from fully closed to open with filtering of light in between. You have complete privacy when the vertical blind is closed but easy access through patio doors when opened.

Blind Fitting Expert is usually asked to fit vertical blinds inside the window recess. We must fit top fixing brackets to the underside of the reveal. Most vertical blinds are easily snapped into the brackets when they are fitted. Just offer the track into right hand lip, as shown in the bracket images, then snap the blind into the spring clip on the left side.

We need to remember that vertical blinds must be positioned far enough away from the window to allow the vanes to rotate without any obstructions. Vertical blind vanes will normally be supplied with either 90mm or 127 mm width slats. You must fit the vertical blind brackets at least half a slat width away from any window or door handles. Fitting instructions should be provided with your vertical blind.

Vertical blinds can be as wide as 5 metres in width. Some kind customers kindly offer to help Blind Fitting Expert offer up a wide blinds into position. Even very wide vertical blinds can easily be fitted by one person. Just clip up one bracket and the blind will remain in place. Then move along and clip in the next bracket.

Battery cordless drill, screwdriver, 2.8mm diameter high speed steel twistdrill, vertical blind top fixing bracket,We must not forget when using hand tools or electrical equipment for blind fitting that extreme caution is required to avoid accidents and of course fit the blind properly.

Blind Fitting Expert carries hand tools in a belt with several pouches for routine day to day blind fitting. I have tape measure, pencil, screwdrivers, razor blades, dust sheet, small hammer and a selection of twist drill bits.

Power tools are battery operated and are powerful enough to drill through any material needed when fitting internal or external blinds. Safety is paramount and eye and ear protection is essential.

Steps and ladders may be needed . Great care should be taken when fitting blinds on steps and especially at height.
