Thanks for your tutorial videos. I honestly think you are the best teacher on KZread when it comes to DIY. You are making me feel more comfortable to tackle jobs that I would have never bothered to attempt. I know this probably doesn't come up that often. Though, how would I approach wallpapering a room with wallpaper that has pvc trunks which contain electrical cables and copper pipes.

I love how thorough your instructions are! It's clear you've mastered the art of installing blinds, and your expertise shines through in this video.

I have used Direct Blinds several times. Only ones I'd use now. Really easy and simple. Great video 👍

Also, always be wary of how far the window handle sticks out so it doesn’t get in the way of the blind as you move it up and down.

Perfect timing, was just looking into getting new blinds from Direct Blinds too and was worried about sizing!

Got ours from them too and fits great - thankfully 😄 Happy with quality too. I fitted all brackets to the steel lintel. Probably the hard way rather than fitting the end brackets on the sides 🤪

Nice 👍

Used blinds direct for all my windows, I like that they take 10mm off your measurements to allow for small tolerances, I've installed mine at the front of the recess so it clears window latches and the top finishing trim sits flush with the wall.

Hi, thanks for the nice video.kindly tell me how to do with drywall

Maybe you can do a video installing watersoftner and to make it intresting place water sofntner outside property or anywhere else but not under sink .

I would always fit my brackets into the wall (not lintel) on the ends as it's much easier!

Is it possible to have the adjustment "controls" all at the same end? My window goes behind a cabinet at one end.

How about a video on slatted wall panels please. They're all the rage now. Would be interesting viewing.

If that's a made to measure blind, why did you need to cut the pelmet down to size? Was that bought separately? I've put up all the blinds in my houses, unfortunately the brand (at the time 15 yrs ago) only offered brackets that have to be drilled into the lintel for some of my window, which is a pain. I was hoping to see how you approach the drilling into the lintel. Fortunately, you had the multi option bracket. There's also a brand I've seen that now do No-drill blinds. Thanks.

How about a video on chasing radiator copper pipes rather than boxing them in 👍🏻

We did this last year However, a few weeks back we had the room replastered and now it's smaller than the blinds we have so 🤦

Did I nod off and miss the section on fitting the centre bracket? Often there is a steel lintel in the way! 😂

@KE5ZZO

Steel lintel is only on outside holding up brick / stone not on interior

No, the steel lintel is inside also here in the uk. In this case it’s a concrete lintel,

Perhaps this could be the subject of a future video? Generally, how to fix into the underside of a steel lintel when there is no other option.

@thomaslundberg5588

@@TheDIYGuy1 I was also wondering if you were drilling into the underside of the lintel for the centre bracket. Are there any issues drilling into a concrete lintel?

Surely you should be stating this is an ad? Because that is what it is without a doubt.

The video is marked ”includes paid promotion” and he says he is working with the company in the video. The instructions will work for blinds from other companies as well. So what is the problem?

Exactly. I have stated clearly as I’m required to do. And your right, this works regardless of the brand

Nice blinds until you need to open a window & have to pull them up/down everytime you do.

03:49. Wrong toss their screws and plugs use 2&1/2 in or 3 inch screws to go thru the drywall and hit wood. Side brackets do 2 screws on side and 2 screws on top

@TheDIYGuy1

Ай бұрын

Nothing wrong about it just different methods. There’s no wood to screw into anyway so why would you be going through the drywall with wood screws unless working with a timber building

@michaelwilson3844

Just something else to consider often kitchens and bathrooms have a few rows of tiles at the bottom of the recess so use this as your width when ordering , lots of people make the mistake of not taking this in to consideration and get a shock when they drop the blind and find that it catches on the top row of blinds allowing the blind not to drop to the bottom correctly 😢

@TheDIYGuy1

Absolutely right 👍

all great until you fit the middle bracket and find you have a catnic lintel 🤣
