How to Mount Zebra Blinds

Installing fresh zebra blinds instantly energizes boring windows with lively patterned style. But for these exotic shades to properly function while showcasing beautifully, careful mounting is key.

Follow this easy guide to flawlessly mount zebra blinds inside or outside your window frames using basic hardware and common household tools.

Assess Mounting Surface

Determine if you want zebra blinds installed outside the window molding for a built-in look, or overlapping the frames to appear larger when closed.

Ensure sufficient flat space around the area for secure hardware attachment. Use wall anchors for added support if drilling into drywall or plaster.

Measure Precisely

Carefully gauge exact window dimensions top to bottom on all sides. Add 2 inches width/height for outside mounts or order inside mounts cut precisely to frame sizes.

Having detailed measurements ensures a custom zebra blind fit floor to ceiling. Mark screw positions evenly spaced.

Install Mounting Brackets

Use a drill to insert screws into marked locations around frames or walls. Embed anchors first if needed. Tighten screws firmly but not so as to crack drywall.

For hard-to-drill materials like concrete, consider adhesive glue mounts instead of screw brackets.

Mount Zebra Blind Headrail

With all brackets securely in position, mount the zebra blind headrail by aligning grooves on back with bracket edges. Firmly push straight back until headrail clicks into place.

Confirm Proper Clearance

Test raise/lower and tilt functions to ensure smooth operation without binding or obstruction. Carefully adjust fit if needed for optimized performance.

With the right measurements and materials, mounting exotic new zebra blinds is a straightforward weekend project! Enjoy your stylish window upgrade.
