How Do You Hang Inside Mount Zebra Blinds?

Installing inside mount zebra blinds into window frames creates a clean, integrated look and optimal light control. But precisely setting up the mounting hardware takes careful measurement and installation. Let's review some handy tips for smoothly hanging inside mount zebra shades.

Gather the Right Hardware

You'll need:

Metal blind brackets with screws

A drill with bits

A metal measuring tape

A pencil

A level

Screwdriver

Choose brackets sized appropriately for your zebra blind's width. Brackets must extend wider than the blinds.

Measure Precisely

Use the metal tape measure to carefully gauge:

Exact window frame width

Desired blind height from top to bottom when installed

Window frame depth for flush inside mount placement

Measure width at three points - top, middle and bottom. Write down all measurements.

Mark Bracket Locations

Use your measurements to mark out locations for bracket placement with pencil. Most blinds require a minimum of two brackets evenly spaced. For wide blinds, add center supports.

Hold brackets against the marks to check spacing. Adjust if needed before marking screw holes.

Install Mounting Brackets

Use a drill to insert screws into the mounting surface, securing brackets firmly in place at your marks. Ensure brackets are perfectly straight with a level.

Attach any center support clips for wide blinds as well.

Mount the Blinds

Once brackets are securely installed, fit the blinds into the back lip of the brackets. Insert the front of the brackets to snap blinds in place. Check blinds raise, lower and tilt smoothly.

Conclusion

With careful measurement, precise bracket placement and secure hardware installation, you can achieve a flawless inside mount for zebra blinds that beautifully integrate into any window frame.
