DIY installation
Get started with your installation
The first important step before installing zebra blinds is to take the exact measurements of the area where you want to install your window blind. The measures you take will be different depending on if an inside or outside mount installation. The steps for correctly measuring your window are explained in our how to measure section. It will ensure a perfect fit for your custom window treatment in your décor following receipt of your new window covering.
Before you order your blind, particularly for inside mount installation, make sure there is enough depth to your window frame for the installation. Cassettes typically measure 2 ¾” in depth so you will need to take that into account for installation.
Zebra Blinds : Inside mount installation
For installation inside the frame, screw the brackets on each side to the top of the window frame. Then, all you have to do is affix the cassette containing the blind by opposing it with a simple and slight movement from back to front.
The last step is to screw the tensioners that connect the chain to the zebra blind inside the frame. To do this, simply screw the tensioner to the window frame using the screws.
