Thanks for your tutorial videos. I honestly think you are the best teacher on RU-vid 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.
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.
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 🤪
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.
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?
@@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?
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
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
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 😢
