How to Install Double Roller Blinds

Double rollers carry twice the weight and need careful bracket alignment so the front and back fabrics never rub. Plan on 45–60 minutes per window.

Difficulty: Moderate to advanced (two rollers require careful alignment). Time required: 45–60 minutes per window.

Prepare your tools: Drill, spirit level, tape measure, pencil, screwdriver, wood + masonry bits and wall plugs if needed.

Mark bracket positions: For inside mounts, mark bracket positions inside the recess. For outside mounts, extend 75–100 mm beyond the frame. Use a level to ensure perfect horizontal alignment.

Install top brackets: Pre-drill holes and secure the upper brackets — these hold the front roller. Confirm level before tightening.

Install lower brackets: Below the top brackets, install the lower brackets for the back roller. Leave enough vertical space so neither tube interferes with the other.

Insert front blind: Slide the front blind into the upper bracket slots. Pin end to the pin bracket; chain or motor to the matching bracket.

Insert back blind: Slide the back blind into the lower bracket slots, again aligning pin and motor ends correctly.

Check float and clearance: Each blind should have 1.5–2 mm of left-right movement (float). Too tight: adjust brackets outward. Too loose: adjust inward.

Test both blinds: Operate each blind independently several times. Both should move without binding or rubbing the other fabric.

Secure control cords: Anchor both chains/cords with the supplied child-safety devices. Never leave loose cords within reach.

Double blinds are heavier than single blinds — anchor brackets into studs or use heavy-duty wall plugs. Misaligned brackets cause rubbing. Both child-safety cords must be anchored.

Frequently asked questions

Why are my fabrics rubbing each other?

Almost always a bracket alignment issue. Loosen the lower brackets and shift them 2–3 mm forward or backward.

Can both blinds be motorized?

Yes — and you can control them as one group or independently from the same remote.

Do I need a single chain or two?

Two — one per blind, on the same side or opposite sides depending on what's easiest to reach.

Should the blockout be in front or back?

Front (room-side). That protects the sheer behind it and gives the cleanest layered look from inside.
