How to install an ikea blind

[@tinytonymaloney7832]

I always start with a 4mm masonry drill bit and center punch the plaster with a masonry nail. Then the bigger size drill glides in. Allows for more accurate drilling. Plus usually I get the missus to hold the hoover end up next to the drill, well its usually her that wants me to put stuff up on a wall I've just painted and finished so I insist she helps.

Sounds like good team work and a good tip, thanks. 🙂

Fantastic video. Great steps. Given me the confidence to do this

[@nicolajackson9321]

Is this the sandvedel blind? Only ours will not go up and down with ease and we are not sure what we have done wrong?

[@GeorginaBisbyDIY]

Yes there is a comment below about this - a lady suggested it can happen when the side with the cross isn't pushed all the way in.

This really helped, thanks 👍 the IKEA instructions are comically bad

[@glista6]

Have the same, but they don't stop. When i pull them, they role all way up. Any idea?

[@GeorginaBisbyDIY]

You have to pull it down to create the brake - not up.

[@JMManiego]

You might have fixed it already, but for people encountering the same prob, I think it was because the side where there's a + hole (not a lock) was not pushed all the way

Are you able to stall the brackets onto the ceiling or upside down inside the window frame???

[@GeorginaBisbyDIY]

Yes

How do these blinds roll back up?

[@jackyjones8873]

Give them a short pull downwards and let go, then they roll back up

[@DeconovoUK]

hey, got the curtain? how's it looking?

[@RajAdh]

possible to mount on vertically (on ceiling)?

[@alexcarter1291]

Yes! The blinds come with instructions for vertical installation as well.

How sheer are these? can you see through them or do they provide privacy?

[@GeorginaBisbyDIY]

Fine in the day and when the lights off but can see silhouettes when the light is on at night so not 100%

How to roll back ?

[@benjaminmansour8691]

Such a good question

[@stakkerhmnd]

Stakker Humanoid has commented first.

[@ElsinhaCrew]

How do these role back up?

[@stakkerhmnd]

@@ElsinhaCrew pull them down a bit and release

[@stakkerhmnd]

Blinding video!

[@stakkerhmnd]

Time for some Stakker Humanoid legal advice! When dealing with naughty online blind suppliers look at their terms to establish if there is indeed a 'tolerance' which they claim to supply to. What is this "insurance"? Never heard the term used in this context before. If the value of the goods is over £100 (might be a minimum of £100 - even the Glorious Stakker Humanoid can't remember everything!) and paid for with a credit card - fill out a Section 75 claim to resolve this and get your dosh back (possibly minus any carriage charges you incur).
