Initial Installation Steps (Bracket Placement)

Published in Perfect Fit Blinds Installation 3 mins read

Perfect Fit blinds are a popular choice for uPVC windows and doors, offering a drill-free installation method. While the complete assembly and installation process involves several stages, the initial steps focus on securing the fitting brackets onto the window frame.

The process of installing Perfect Fit blinds typically begins with fitting the special brackets that hold the blind frame in place. These brackets are designed to clip directly between the glass and the rubber seal (beading) of your window or door frame without requiring any drilling.

Here's how to start the installation, based on common practice and the provided reference:

  1. Prepare the Frame: Ensure the window or door frame is clean and free from obstructions where the brackets will be placed.
  2. Position the Brackets: Take one of the Perfect Fit installation brackets.
  3. Insert the Bracket: You need to slide the bracket into place between the glass and the rubber beading. Position it correctly according to the blind's instructions (typically spaced evenly or as marked on the blind frame).
  4. Overcoming Tight Fits: If you find that the brackets are a bit tight use a dab of washing-up liquid to make it easier. A small amount can help the bracket slide smoothly into the narrow gap without damaging the rubber seal or the frame.
  5. Repeat for All Brackets: Continue installing all necessary brackets around the window frame as required for your specific blind size and type.
  6. Prepare the Blind Frame: Once either installed take the frame. This refers to the main Perfect Fit blind frame, which should have the blind fabric or slats already assembled within it.
  7. Position the Frame: And hold it up to the window, aligning it with the newly installed brackets. (The subsequent steps would involve clipping or securing the frame onto these brackets, but are not detailed in the provided reference).

Tips for Bracket Installation

  • Ensure the brackets are facing the correct way as per the blind's instructions.
  • Be gentle when pushing the brackets in, especially if using washing-up liquid.
  • Check that all brackets are firmly seated before attempting to attach the frame.

This initial step of bracket installation is crucial as these brackets provide the secure anchor points for the Perfect Fit blind frame, allowing for a neat and integrated look against the window glass.
