How to install blinds - inside mount installation

Sam shows you how to fit and install a window blind quickly and easily.

Find out how to fit a Shuttermatch wooden window blind into a standard recessed window inside mount style to improve your home, you can use this guide for hanging fauxwood blinds too.

Learn how to fit blinds inside mount into the recess with only a few simple tools.

The window is UPVC so the wooden blinds need to be spaced away from the window handle so the slats are free to move up and down.

You can see what's in the box, learn how to fit the brackets to the inside of the window recess and how the blinds are operated with step by step instructions.

These shuttermatch blinds are made from real wood like Basswood, and provide a really tight slat closure and minimise the light coming through the blind as the slats do not have any visible holes in when they are closed which provides a really neat look.

Installing faux blinds will be done in the same way as installing these real wooden blinds. They can be fitted inside the recess (Inside mount) or outside the recess (outside mount). It is possible to install the brackets to the ceiling if required.

Mark the position of the box brackets in the recess, these can be fitted sideways upwards or straight into the window frame. The headrail of the blind simply slots into these box brackets. A top pelmet is then fitted onto the headrail to cover it up.
