Zebra Blinds Installation | Custom Window Blinds Calgary

Zebra blind installation involves mounting zebra blinds, also known as banded or dual blinds, onto a window frame, either inside or outside the frame. These blinds feature alternating sheer and opaque fabric stripes to control light and privacy. Here’s a breakdown of what our the installation process entails:

Mounting Options: Zebra blinds can be installed inside the window frame for a clean look or outside the frame to conceal imperfections.
Measurements: Accurate window measurements are crucial for a proper fit, especially for inside mount installations. Ensure sufficient depth inside the window frame to accommodate the blind’s cassette.
Bracket Installation: Brackets are attached to the top of the window frame (for inside mounts) or the wall (for outside mounts) using screws. Pilot holes are recommended to prevent damage. A level or tape measure ensures the brackets are at the same height.
Blind Attachment: The cassette containing the blind is affixed to the brackets with a simple movement, often snapping into place.
Chain/Cord Attachment: The chain or cord that controls the blind’s positioning is attached, ensuring it has the correct length and tension for smooth operation.
Tensioner Installation: The tensioners that connect the chain to the blind are screwed inside the frame.
Final Checks: Ensure there are no obstructions that could hinder the blind’s movement.

The required hardware, including fixtures, screws, tensioners, and instruction sheets, are typically provided with the blinds. Some options even include cordless or motorized versions to eliminate dangling cords, enhancing safety.
