ools and materials needed for installation
Before starting the installation, make sure you have all the necessary tools and materials. You will need, among other things, a drill, screwdriver, level, tape measure, and a set of screws and dowels. Also, check that the chosen roller blind is compatible with your skylight window – otherwise, the installation may turn out to be technically impossible to perform.
Preparation of the installation site
The installation of a roller blind on a skylight window is not significantly different from installing a system, for example, on a French balcony railing. All work should start with securing the installation area. Remove all objects from the windowsill that could obstruct the work. Then, make sure the skylight window is closed, and there is enough space around it. In some cases, you may need to use a ladder or a platform to access the window.
Installation of roller blind guides
The first step in installing external roller blinds is securing the guides. These are the components responsible for the proper operation and seal of the roller blind. To install them, follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Typically, the guides are attached to the window frame using screws or special brackets
Mounting the roller blind cassette
The next step is to install the cassette, which is responsible for storing the rolled-up blind material. The cassette should be mounted on the upper part of the window frame so that it is parallel to the guides. In the case of some models, additional brackets may be required.
nstallation of rollers and testing the system
The final stage of installation involves correctly positioning the external roller blind in the guides. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to install the sliding system properly. Then, check its operation. Ensure that the blind slides smoothly on the rollers and is properly tensioned.
