How to Install Zebra Blinds

The unique striped pattern of zebra blinds can add dimension and artful interest to any room's windows. Installing them properly ensures they function as beautifully as they look. Follow this straightforward guide for seamlessly incorporating zebra blinds into your space:

Take Precise Measurements

Before mounting any hardware, carefully measure your exact window dimensions. Note width at the top, middle and bottom. Also measure height at the far left, center and far right.

Having detailed measurements of the entire opening allows proper blind and hardware fitting so operation works flawlessly. Account for obstructions too.

Mark Bracket Locations

Using your measurements, mark with pencil where you will attach the mounting brackets for the zebra blinds. Make sure the bracket locations are perfectly level and anchored into wood studs for security.

Use a level tool to double check. Mark where you will attach valance clips too, if applicable. Proper bracket placement prevents future issues.

Secure Brackets and Valance Clips

Use a drill to insert screws and firmly affix brackets and clips into your marked locations. Do not rely solely on drywall anchors - make sure screws are anchored into solid wood for durability.

Test brackets and clips by applying light pressure in all directions when screwed into place. They should not budge at all when properly installed.

Hang Blinds in Brackets

With all hardware securely mounted, insert the zebra blinds by placing the top slat into the open brackets and closing the bracket gates to clamp blinds in correct position. Make sure they are centered and operating smoothly. Enjoy!

Accurate measurements, sturdy bracket attachment, and methodical installation ensures your zebra blinds function as beautifully as they look. Follow manufacturer guidance too.
