When looking for window blinds that are easy to install, many people choose Bali blinds because of their ease of installation. Bali mini blinds are great for DIYs (do-it-yourselfers) who want fashionable blinds that are a piece of cake to install. In fact, most people can install Bali blinds in less than 30 minutes. All it requires are some basic tools and the ability to follow simple installation instructions.
Here are some tools you will need for the installation:
1. The blinds you just purchased
2. Mini blind screws (these come in the box)
3. Hanging brackets (also in the box)
4. Bottom brackets; screws (in the box as well)
5. Drill
6. 1/16" drill bit
7. Screwdriver
Here is a brief low-down on how to install blinds manufactured by Bali:
Your first step is to hold up one of the mounting boxes to the upper edge of the window. You will want to use a pen or pencil to trace over where the holes are located. Do this for both upper edges of the window. These pencil marks are what you will then use as reference for drilling a hole in the wall for the bracket.
Drill small pilot holes that are not larger than the circumference of the screws so that your shades won't fall down! Screw in the mounting brackets along with the mounting screws into the holes you drilled. The open ends of the mounting box should be facing you. For larger windows, a middle hole/screw/bracket may be required.
Next, open your new Bali blinds from the box and be sure to remove any plastic or other packaging. Align the cellular blinds with the brackets and insert one side at a time into the mounting box. The mounting bracket covers need to be clicked into place at this point so that your new Bali blinds are snug and secure in your window. Do this on both sides of the window.
Find the plastic valance clips that came with your Bali shades to the top to cover the brackets for a more finished look. These valance clips are then used to hold the extra blinds that came with the package.
Lastly, find the small hook on either side and attach the enclosed wand that will enable you to open and close your blinds. The hole in the wand attaches to the side hook.
Voila! Your new Bali blinds are ready for use. We told you anyone can install Bali mini blinds!
