Can I fit my own vertical blinds?
Yes, you can definitely hang vertical blinds yourself! They are designed to be DIY-friendly and come with easy-to-understand instructions. Whether you buy them from us or elsewhere, the process is generally the same. It's not common to find someone to hire for blind installation as it is no longer considered a specialised profession. Most handypersons are hesitant to take on this task because it's quick and simple. Even if it's your first time, it should take less than half an hour from start to finish. So, it's not worth it for professionals to take on this job, which means if you do find someone to install them, they will likely charge a high rate.
Is it hard to install to my own vertical blinds?
Installing vertical blinds is incredibly easy, even for those who struggle with assembling flatpack furniture. All you need to get started are a screwdriver, drill, tape measure, and a bit of common sense. If you have someone to assist you, even the common sense part is optional. So, rest assured, it's not a difficult task at all. Don't let the thought of hanging your own vertical blinds make you anxious.
Can I still fit my own vertical blinds on larger windows?
Hanging bigger blinds follows the same principles as hanging smaller blinds, but you may need to install additional brackets for structural support. Extra-large vertical blind headrails are made in sections, so you don't have to struggle with a heavy or cumbersome eight-foot track. The louvres are also hung individually, eliminating any weight concerns. This means you probably won't need another person to assist you, although having someone on the ground to pass you items can be helpful if you're using a stepladder.
Conlusion:
With a few basic tools and the right instructions, anyone can install vertical blinds quickly and easily, taking no longer than half an hour. So don't be afraid to take on this task - after all, there's nothing to lose! And if you have larger windows, no problem - follow the same steps for one window at a time. We hope this blog post helped you to feel confident about installing vertical blinds and give it a go!
