Hire A Trusted Handyman For Blinds Installation

Blinds are a stylish way to add a modern touch to your home while providing a practical way to block out light, maintain room temperatures, and give you privacy from peering eyes. There are many different styles of blinds available on the market, including Roller blinds, Venetian blinds, and Roman blinds. There are even blinds for your outdoor patio.

No matter what type of blind you want, or the function they need to provide, you’ll find a solution to suit your requirements. Some people choose to get a specialist blind company to install their blinds; however, many DIY blind solutions are available from retail outlets like Bunnings or Mitre 10.

If you’ve chosen and purchased the perfect blinds for your home, you may now be wondering how to go about installing them. Options include taking the entire DIY route, which may not give you a perfect finish, or bringing in professionals for expert installation experience.

If you’ve decided you may not have the skills, experience and tools to do it yourself, you can find a blind installation specialist through the Ezy Peazy platform.

Here’s how a blind installation specialist can help:

Put Up Roller Blinds

There are two options when installing roller blinds: You can either fix them within or outside the window frame. Fixing them on the outside of the window frame covers your window entirely, which can provide better light blocking if this is important while hanging them inside the frame can look neat and stylish.

While you might be familiar with single roller blinds, you can also choose dual blinds. These work the same way as dual curtains, where one acts as a privacy screen and filters some light, while the second blind completely blocks out light and helps maintain the inside temperature.

To install dual blinds, you have several options. You can fit it within the window frame, one within and the other external, or both on the outside. Depending on which option you choose, you can install them using a separate bracket for each blind, or you can use a dual roller system. A dual roller system comprises a bracket to which you can attach both roller blinds, giving a clean and tidy finish.

If you need help deciding which type of blinds are best for your windows or require support installing them correctly, you can find a tasker on the Ezy Peazy platform. They can give you expert advice about blinds and help you install whichever option you choose. No matter what configuration you opt for, they can quickly and professionally install single or dual roller blinds in your home.

Installing Venetian Blinds

Installing Venetian blinds works the same way as installing roller blinds, in that you can install them on the inside or outside of the window frame. However, the appearance and operation of Venetian blinds differ.

The first step in installing Venetian blinds requires you to find a blind that fits the width and height of your window. The next step is to fix the brackets to the window frame, and the final step is to attach the blinds to the brackets.

Installing Venetian blinds takes time, patience, and attention to detail. Accurate measurements and alignment of the brackets are just two key elements to ensure your Venetian blinds hang correctly and are secure.

Sometimes your window size may not match the pre-manufactured Venetian blind sizes available at your local hardware retail store. In this case, you may need to shorten your blinds if they’re too long or reduce the width if they’re too wide. A tasker you can find through the Ezy Peazy platform can install your Venetian blinds and adjust their length or width if necessary.

Hanging Roman Blinds

Roman blinds are the perfect blend of blinds and curtains. As they’re often made from the same materials as curtains, you can usually find one to match your décor perfectly.

Like other types of blinds, when hanging Roman blinds, it’s essential to measure up your window space accurately to ensure you get the best fit. You don’t want to buy blinds that are too narrow or too short for your window.

An important step when installing Roman blinds is to ensure you install the cleat that secures the rope that opens and closes the blinds out of reach of small children, as this is a hazard.

A tasker from the Ezy Peazy platform will be able to advise the best way to install your Roman blinds and ensure they are easy and safe to operate.

Outdoor Blinds Installation

Because outdoor blinds are made of hardwearing materials like industrial PVC, they’re a perfect option if you want a window covering for your outdoor areas like patios or pergolas. Most leading retail hardware stores offer large outdoor blinds in various sizes, so you should be able to find the perfect option to shield your outdoor space from the weather.

Outdoor blinds are fixed and hang similarly to indoor Roman blinds with a rope and pulleys; however, the scale is much more significant. That’s why it’s crucial to ensure that the framing you bolt the blinds to is strong enough to support their weight. It’s also essential to consider the prevailing wind, as outdoor blinds can act like sails, catch strong winds, and start flapping around.

To ensure your outdoor blinds are installed safely and securely and can withstand New Zealand’s fickle weather, find a tasker on the Ezy Peazy platform to help you. They’ll have the necessary skills and experience and arrive with the required tools to install your blinds.

Blinds Removal

If you’re replacing your old blinds with new ones, it may be worth asking your local Ezy Peazy tasker to remove the old ones first. This way, there won’t be any unnecessary damage done to your home, and they might even be able to re-use some of the old hardware or installation points.

If you’re removing the blinds entirely and want to replace them with curtains, or a different type of blind, there may be holes in your window frame or wall. In this case, your Ezy Peazy tasker can also fill the holes, so you’re left with a professional finish and a clean canvas for your new window dressings.
