How to Install - Wall Mount

Step 1 - Adjust your brackets

• You will have received either Standard Brackets or Extension brackets with your wall mounted tracks. You have up to 50mm clearance with the standard bracket and up to 90mm clearance with the extension bracket.
• Adjust the brackets to the correct position to ensure you can come over the top of an architrave, roller blind or plantation shutter and clear any obstructions that may stop the curtain from hanging freely.
• Make sure all of your brackets are adjusted to the exact same position.

Step 2 - Find the timber studs

• There will be a number of timber studs that run through your wall. Using a stud finder, locate as many of these as possible to fit your brackets into.

Mounting into Plaster

• If you need to mount any of your brackets into plaster, use a Hollow Wall Anchor tool for a secure finish. How to use a Hollow Wall Anchor is featured in the “How to Install - Ceiling mount video” on our website

Step 3 - Fix the brackets to the wall

• Fix the brackets across the wall where the track is to be placed,
• Ensure the brackets are spaced evenly.
• Use a string line to ensure all of your brackets are level across the top and nice and straight.
• Consider the stack end and add another bracket here as this is where the full weight of the curtain will be when in the open position.

Step 4 - Present your track to the brackets

• Ensure all your bracket cams are in the open position.
• Present your track to the brackets, and lock the cam in place.
• Your track is now fully installed and you are ready to hang your curtain

• Your track is now installed. Easy!

Mounting into Plaster

• Present the track to the ceiling and with a pencil, mark through the bracket holes where your screw holes are going to be.

How to Install - Motor

Follow these steps for an easy installation:

1. Hold the brackets to the place on your window frame where they are to be fixed and with a grey pencil mark where the screws will go.
2. Pre-drill the bracket holes if required. This will avoid splitting your timber, particularly if you have an older style house.
3. Now using your cordless screwdriver and the 4 screws, fix the brackets into the window recess or architraves.
4. Before inserting the blind into the bracket – make sure the P1 button is facing the front - you will need to access and push this button when you pair your motor to the remote.
5. Have another person assist you when placing the roller blind into the brackets - keep the blind level. Do not to tip the blind down at the motor end - it may slip out and become damaged.
6. Ensure you unroll the fabric down (approx 20cm) before you install so that when you are testing the up or down direction of the motor you have room for the roller blind to go up if required.
7. Install your blind into the male bracket first which is also the motor end.
8. Hold the motor end in position and move to the other end of the blind. Guide the spring-loaded pin into the track of the female bracket until it clicks into position.
9. The blinds should never be ‘forced’ into the brackets. If you have measured correctly, the blind will simply click into position.
10. Once the blind is installed it should have 1.5 mm - 2mm movement from left to right between the brackets (the ‘float’). If there is no float, your blind will not run smoothly – so adjust your brackets accordingly for secure fixing.
11. Alternatively, you can adjust the pin end for more reach if required.
12. Your blind is now fully installed.

How to Hang your Curtain - S-Fold Heading

Step 1 - Fit the Wand(s)

• With a pair of long nose pliers, open up the hook at the top of the wand. The track will have a wand runner inserted as the second runner from the control side. It’s a little piece with a metal loop. Simply insert the hook of the wand into the metal loop and your wand is now installed.

Step 2 - Insert the hooks into the curtain heading tape

• With your S-fold curtains, you will receive a packet of white plastic curtain hooks. These need to be inserted into the curtain heading tape, which is attached to the top of your curtain.
• If you have some gloves, put these on now so that you don’t get any dirty marks on your curtain.
• The curtain heading tape contains little box pockets. Place the first hook into the 3rd pocket (there will be half a pocket,1 pocket, 2 pockets). The 3rd pocket will be marked with a grey dot. Insert the hook and turn it around.
• Leave 5 pockets empty and then insert the 2nd hook.
Each one of these pockets will be marked with a grey dot. Repeat this step until you have filled all the marked pockets.
• You will see at the end that there should be exactly the same spacing as at the start with 2 and 1/2 empty pockets.

Step 3 - Hanging the Curtain

• Place the weight of the curtain over your shoulder ensuring the hooks are at the front.
• Evenly space out all the runners across the width of the track.
• Clip the first hook into the first runner. Repeat this step until all of the hooks are inserted into the runners. The number of runners will match exactly to the number of hooks, so it’s really important that you don’t miss one, otherwise, you will need to start all over again.
• Release the curtain from your shoulder and let it hang. Adjust the heading tape so you have the back, front, back, front S-fold shape. Both ends should return back to the wall.
• Your curtain is now fully installed.
