Hanging faux wood blinds
Faux wood blinds are a great addition to any home or living space. They will not warp, split, crack, chip, fade over time, and they may be treated to resist dust and dirt, making them easier to clean. Some retailers, like The Home Depot, custom-cut faux wood blinds to size either while you wait or to pick up later. They are an extremely affordable option to their real-wood counterparts, making them an extremely popular decor item. Sprucing up your home with new window coverings has never been easier, and installation is a snap.
Instructions
1. Decide if you would like to mount your blinds inside the window casing or outside of the window casing, and then measure the spaces.
2. If available, have your blinds custom-cut to fit your windows. Otherwise, special order your blinds using the measurements that were taken.
3. After you receive your blinds, attach the mounting brackets in the appropriate manner (for either an inside or outside mount).
4. Attach the valance clips to the head rail. Slide the head rail into the brackets and engage the retainers.
5. Attach the valance to the head rail. Work the blind by opening and closing the blind and by tilting the louvers up and down.
6. Attach the cord cleat to the wall (optional).
7. Install the hold-down brackets (optional).
8. Shorten the length of the blind if desired by following the directions provided in the blind packaging.
