Before you set out to buy a vertical blind, it is important you need to consider some things first. It makes a whole lot of sense that you know the precise measurement of your door or window. Knowing that will greatly help you decide if the vertical blind you want to install is supposed to be a special or standard size. After that, you can go and buy the vertical blind that suits your taste as well as the size of your window or door.

Once you purchase the needed vertical blind, you should afford to have the needed tools for the installation process. They include a screwdriver (the flat head type), a level, a pair of scissors, hammer with finishing mails,  pencil, drill with a quarter inch  hex bit, wall anchors, 1 sixteen and 3 sixteen drill bits and a measuring wood or metal tape. The parts you will need for your window blinds are nuts, mounting clips, bolts, mounting screws, handrails, chain and clip, cord clip or cord weight and louvers.

There are two unique mounting styles you can make use of. They differ slightly in their way of installation. The so-called inside mount means that the mount goes inside a windowsill, while the outside mount goes on the wall over the window. Mounting clips are used instead of the mounting brackets in the inside mount type. So, you can take off the mounting brackets from the blinds. Keep the mounting clips untouched as you adjust the screws.

Now, mark the valance and the window frame. Ensure the valance is held up as you measure out its width and mark it on the wall. Note that you need to measure out an inch at the point where the width mark will get the depth. Place the mounting clip in the third groove, which is found 4 inches from the end, in order to centre it. Put the valance up and line its back with the marks for the depth. Then, you should drill some holes at the exact spots where you make the mounting marks. If you are hanging the blinds on a dry wall, you need to use wall anchors. After that, screw the screws into the windowsill, valance and clips. Now you can put the handrail in place. Ensure the cord is well positioned at the side your choice. You are now moving forward.

Outside mounting requires a slightly different approach. Measure the length of your louvers. Mark the height as you do this while you add 2 inches to the total length of the louvers. Place the head rails where you can see your markings and make a 2-inch mark which should be 4-inch away from each end. This will help centre the head rails of the blind. Ensure that the brackets are well-spaced. Attach your louvers carefully to the stem slot. If you are using cloth window blinds, you have to ensure that the hems are facing the same way. The cord you attach with the weight need to be secured and fastened to the wall! This will greatly help to prevent strangulation in animals, surely. For an inside mount, you should attach the seal of the cord to the back seal. In order to reduce the length of the cord, you can tie a knot to the length you need, while you cut off the remaining part with a scissors.
