How to put up a roller blind

[@pigsbishop99]

To people used to doing this job it seems straightforward enough. I guess that is why a lost of the questions asked by others below aren't addressed. I want my blind to stop all light and my window is weirdly up against a room corner. Now prior to purchase I am still weighing options; curtain with blackout lining, blind in recess blind out of recess etc. I've already made two purchases which had to be returned. It's this sort of in detailed information that novices need. Sure the jobs easyish but we need every detail. Nevertheless thanks for this video which goes a lot further than most others.

You showed all the easy stuff. What about the measurements? As you cut your blind before hanging the brackets, what was the distance difference between your blind width and the space between your brackets? My b&Q instructions say there's to be a difference of 2.4cm between blind width and the space between 'marks' on the backets. What marks? Is the blind to be 2.4cm larger or smaller?

[@danwatkins6303]

Pretty good video, but for me not enough information is given, e.g. how much of a gap needs to be left on either end to ensure brackets fit a recess?? This is the same with the actual blind from B&Q. More "written" info is given on warnings and safety, than how to actually hang the blind! If you want to attract the DIYers, than you should give much more written advice on the 'how to's' and not just provide illustarations, which to even a pretty experienced guy like me are confusing!

OK video - but more detail could of been shown how to measure the recess including the fixings, and the brackets - it's not just a case of measuring the size of window, and cutting the blind down - as the brackets/end fittings would then make it too long.. Also worth mentioning to measure the depth of your handles! - it you fitted a blind that way to a modern plastic double glazed window the blind would hit the handles!

Which is exactly why I wanted to watch this and they don't show how making this video completely pointless

[@CycloneCyd]

I've got a new set of B&Q blinds - even the instructions that come with them don't seem to give you this info. In fact the instructions are almost impossible to follow. And I'm no thicko - I'm a degree qualified Mechanical Engineer, been a Professional Automotive Engineer for 40 years. How do others less mechanically adept get on?

Fun Fact: Roller blinds are also known as Holland blinds. We love the way these blinds provide just the right amount of ventilation, light and class to go with the rest of the décor in the house. Curtains simply didn’t make the cut and the quality of Roller blinds available today is plain fabulous!

Hi, thanks 4 showing us step by step on hw to install roller blinds. My son's nd I successfully installed ours, thanks to u guys

[@AJ-ku7nm]

At the end was the blind on back to front? Or do other people put the picture side facing out?

[@bandq]

It's your choice 😊

[@bendietrees]

Seems straightforward and easy enough! I feel more confident that I can install them now :)

[@davidbray6515]

My top tip is how ever much you cut of the tube cut the same amount of the fabric you always end up with the factory clearance but I do wish the manufacturer would make the weight road more heavier

[@cayod6]

Thanks for the video but is it me or was the front side of the blind facing outside?

[@bandq]

Hi there! We installed the blind so the design was facing outside. Hope this helps. ☺

[@cayod6]

How do I fit a roller blind to a upvc kitchen window, it is not fitted into a wooden surround and the inner part of the window is only plaster board ( dry lining. )

[@HannaHSpanneR14]

Really helped, thx u guys!

[@Susan-kd3rv]

How do you fit the fabric to the metal Tube ? .

[@bandq]

Hi there! You should be able to slide it back in, but we'd always recommend checking the instructions that come with the individual blinds you've bought.

[@BradleyJaques-bradjj]

I drilled in to the brick at the top of the recess

[@Piginhatwoodcrafts]

This presumed the window frame / wall are true. I saw no use of a spirit level to ensure correct blind fall, and as others saw.. you could have shown it working!

[@kerrydita1]

That was really useful. Thank you.

[@noeleenfalkner4557]

Thanks easier than i thought. Living in a caravan on my own, can i do this same thing to a night shade colour cream the windows here are odd and will have to try a larger measurement blind thanks for any suggestions as they are not cheap here unless i go on special or second hand 90 centimeters needs to go down to 66 centimeters can this happen like you did

[@a.m.9357]

How do you shorten the drop (length, not width) if it's too long?

[@bandq]

Hi, as per the video 1:21. "The good thing about a roller blind on a window like this, is that you don't have to worry about the measurement of the drop, as the excess stays at the top of the roller blind". I hope this helps 😊

[@rodneywroten2994]

after all that . you could have shown how it works

[@Ironbuket]

If the window frame isnt square (which they didnt check for) it could catch on the way down - maybe that's why

[@ShakilAhmed-nn1fh]

Yea exeactpy

[@ultronmaxvlogs22]

nice job

[@bandq]

Thanks 😊 Will you be giving this a go?

[@sonatashinome4672]

This is somewhat useful but my issue is the cord came out and I can’t seem to place it back in for it to start rolling I did it one time and for some reason I keep trying and it’s not working.

[@Bondisaurus]

This is great. Very helpful!

[@MikeBoursnell]

how do you take it back down?

[@Every1ShouldSparkle]

Should blackout blinds be fitted inside the recess or outside for the most light blockout? Thanks

[@dilrubabegum7381]

Very useful Video..thank u!!

[@marlasouth8205]

But do they block heat?

How to attach string

[@bandq]

Hi 😊 The cord is attached to the end cap before placing the blind into postion. Once, fitted, to avoid any strangulation & entanglement, the cord should be attached to the wall with a safety bracket. All this info can been viewed at 05:41.We hope this helps 🙌

[@k-lala]

Mine doesn't go up automatically.. How can I fix it?

[@Ironbuket]

Does it have a chain? Pull the chain?

[@ccw1463]

Yes it has a plastic beaded chain and it's stuck won't go up or down

You didn't show how to measure before cutting!!!

[@maragreen6180]

SIMPLY beautiful!

[@onalouh]

Whats a "piolot hole" ? :-/ Please excuse my ignorance

[@davidsaunders3212]

Once you have marked screw position, you then drill where you have marked with a SMALL drill BIT FIRST, say a 3mm diameter bit. You have now made pilot holes! Say a rawl plug needs a 6mm hole. You'll make a mess starting with a bit this size. So now you have 3mm holes up the bit size to 6mm and drill the same holes again. Its the easiest and tidiest way to do it.
