Install and customise a bamboo roller blind

How do you hang a roller blind? With our special hanging system and this step-by-step guide, you can install a bamboo roller blind yourself. Our roller blinds are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, and installation is quick and easy. You can also cut a custom bamboo roller blind by shortening the bamboo slats with a saw, preferably a fine-toothed one (Japanese saw).

Manual for hanging your Bamboo Roller Blind

Included

• Bamboo roller blind
• Hanging system (hooks, plugs, screws and wooden toggle)

Required tools

• Drill
• Screwdriver
• Measuring tape
• Pencil
• Spirit level  

1. Measure location
- Determine where the roller blind will go. Mark the hook locations with a pencil. We recommend placing the hooks about 30 centimeters from the end of the roller blind, so they don’t interfere with your roll-up system.
- Make sure the markings are aligned with a spirit level.

2. Attach Hooks
Drill holes at the marked locations. Use a suitable drill bit for the material.
- Screw the hooks firmly into the wall or frame.

3. Place the Roller Blind
- Hang the top rail on the hooks. Make sure it's securely fastened. Look at the detailed photos to see how you can best do this.
- Gently pull on the roller blind to check that it is hanging securely.

Adjust and Use
- Test whether the roller blind moves up and down smoothly.
- Check the drawstring and adjust if necessary.

Shorten Width

Supplies

• Japanese saw (or anther fine-toothed saw)
• Measuring tape
• Pencil
• Fine sandpaper

Steps:

1. Measure and Mark: Measure the desired width and mark the cutting line.
2. Sawing: Saw along the marked line on a stable surface.
3. Finishing: Make sure the slats are cut evenly and sand any rough edges.

Shorten Height

Supplies

• Pair of scissors
• Measuring tape
• Pencil

Steps:

1. Measuring and Marking: Measure the desired height and mark the cutting line on the strings.
2. Cut: Cut the strings at the marked points. (Be sure to leave some extra length so you can tie the strings securely.)
3. Adjust and Tie: Roll out the roller blind and tie the strings again.

Tip: For window treatments, it often looks better if part of the bamboo roller blind remains rolled up. Therefore, make sure the roller blind is always longer than the window or frame.
