How to install - Woven Wooden Blinds

OPERATING

The telescopic wand has an adjustable angle fitting at the end. This should be adjusted to a position where it locates onto theblind operating handle at 90° to the roof angle.Locate the wand onto the handle, the handle will need to beangled towards the right. Now rotate the wand down to avertical position, the wand should now be ‘locked’onto thehandle. Keeping the wand at an angle that holds the movingrail perpendicular to the roof angle, the blind can be pushed inthe desired direction.To unlock the wand, angle the wand back to the right, whichshould allow it to be removed from the handle.



1. Adjust wand to connect angle to angle of roof.

2. Wand in ‘open’ position to locate on to handle.

3. Wand in ‘locked’ position to operate.



APEX (SHAPED) ROOF MODELS

Preparation
The pack includes:
-Your Luxaflex® Blind;
-Brackets for fixing (as ordered);
-25mm (1") x no. 6 screws;
-Fixing angle profile;
-Side tension cable fixings;
Before fitting the blind, you must decide whether you will betop or face fixing the brackets.

Fitting the base rail
It is recommended to fit a bracket at approximately 50mm (2")in from either end of the base rail, and then any intermediatebrackets at a maximum of 400mm (16") centres. Hold abracket in position and mark the hole positions. Drill and plugthe holes as necessary and screw the brackets into position.

Fitting the apex (top) rail
If you are face fixing the blind, it is recommended to use thefixing profile supplied. This can be mitre cut to length andfixed to the glazing bar with a single screw at each end. Thenattach the clip in brackets to the profile either with either theself tap screws supplied, or pop rivets.



N.B. If you are fitting within a recess, it is possible to fit simplyusing the angle brackets supplied and bent to shape. Alternately, it may look neater to attach the angle brackets tothe ends of the fixing profile and screw these to the side of theglazing bar (see picture below). Now attach the apex rail into the clip in brackets.



Tensioning the blind support cables

a) The main tension cable can now be tensioned.
On top of thefabric base rail is a clear plastic slider. This should be slidacross the rail until the main support cables are tensioned. This may be assisted by taking the weight of the fabric, whilstsliding the tensioner across. Repeat for any further tensionerson your blind. (There will be 1 tensioner for every 2 cables).

b) The side fabric support cables can now be attached.
Thecables must run perpendicular to the base rail to ensuresmooth operation. Mark the position where the cables meetthe side glazing bars. The cables are then attached using theside tension cable fixings supplied. (Usually one if side fixingwithin a recess, or several built up into a post if face fixing).



Tensioning the blind operating cord
Should you need to adjust the tension of the blind operatingcord system, this can be acheived by untying the cordattached to a spring in the base rail. Then, either shorten orlengthen the cord as necessary until there is sufficient tensionto hold the blind in position, without being too stiff tooperate.

Operating the blind

INSTALLATION

To ease installation, operation and care of your blind, please read the following instructions carefully. Theseinstructions cover all manually operated Luxaflex® Wovenwood Blind models. Therefore, please check the relevant instructions for yourmodel.

FREEHANGING MODELS

Preparation

The pack includes: -Your Luxaflex® blind;
-Brackets for fixing (as ordered);
-25mm (1") x no. 6 screws;
Before fitting the blind, you must decide whether you will betop or face fixing the brackets.

Fixing
It is recommended to fit a bracket at approximately 75mm (3")in from either end of the head rail and then intermediatebrackets (if any) at a maximum of 800mm (31") centres. Hold a bracket in position and mark the hole positions. Drill andplug the holes as necessary and screw the brackets intoposition.

Standard Fitting Bracket



Top or face fit bracket as required, then push head rail backinto bracket as shown above. Check spacing either side ofyour blind, then secure the head rail by fitting the retainingscrews through the underside of brackets into head rail.

Attaching The Fascia Pelmet
The fascia pelmet can now be attached to the front of thehead rail using the ‘dual lock’pads supplied.

Operating your blind
To lower the blind, pull the cords towards the centre of theblind in order to release the cord lock and allow the cord toslip through your fingers to lower the blind to the desiredheight. To raise the blind, pull the cord until the blind is in the fullyraised position then pull the cord so it is vertical which willengage the cord lock.

RECTANGULAR ROOF MODELS

Preparation
The pack includes:
-Your Luxaflex® blind;
-Brackets for fixing (as ordered);
-25mm (1") x no. 6 screws;
Before fitting the blind, you must decide whether you will betop or face fixing the brackets.

Fixing
It is recommended to fit a bracket at approximately 50mm (2")in from either end, and then intermediate brackets (if any) at a maximum of 400mm (16") centres. Hold the brackets inposition and mark the hole positions. Drill and plug the holesas necessary and screw the brackets into position. Repeat forthe rail at the other end. Please note that the release tab, onthe bracket, should face the window.

Standard Bracket



Locate lip of lower edge of rail into all of the brackets and pushthe rail until it clips into the brackets. Repeat the process forthe other rail.

Standard model without wooden cappings.



Optional model with wooden cappings.



Tensioning the blind support cables
The cables can now be tensioned. On the top of the single railis a clear plastic slider. This should be slid across the rail untilthe cables are tensioned. This may be assisted by taking theweight of the fabric, whilst sliding the tensioner across. Repeatfor any further tensioners on your blind. (There will be 1 tensioner for every 2 cables).Tensioning the blind operating cord The tension in the blind operating cord system can be adjustedto give sufficient tension to hold the blind in position, withoutbeing too stiff to operate. This is achieved by adjusting theclear tension slider on the fabric base rail (where the cords aretied off). Sliding one way will increase the tension, the otherway will release the tension.

Optional brackets (if requested)
