What you will need

- Wall anchors (if necessary)
Step 1: Measure and mark
Start by measuring the width and height of the window where you want to install the roller shutters. Mark the dimensions on the wall with a pencil or marker. Make sure the markings are level and centered.
Step 2: Attach the brackets
Place the brackets against the wall, aligning them with the marked measurements. Use a ruler or level to ensure they are straight. Once aligned, mark the hole positions on the wall. Pre-drill holes at the marked positions using an appropriate-sized drill bit.
Next, attach the brackets to the wall using screws. Make sure they are securely fastened so they can support the weight of the roller shutters.
Step 3: Insert the roller shutters
Slide the roller shutters into the brackets on each side. Ensure they fit properly and are level. If needed, adjust the brackets to achieve a proper fit.
Step 4: Secure the roller shutters
Once the roller shutters are in place, secure them by tightening any screws or bolts provided with the shutters. This will ensure they are locked securely into the brackets and prevent any movement.
Step 5: Test the roller shutters
Now that your roller shutters are securely attached, give them a test run. Open and close them a few times to make sure they operate smoothly. If anything feels loose or uneven, go back and make necessary adjustments to the brackets.
Attaching roller shutters to your windows is a simple task that can greatly enhance the security and functionality of your space. By following this step-by-step guide, you can ensure a successful installation. Remember to measure accurately, attach the brackets securely, and test the roller shutters before considering the job complete. Enjoy the added benefits of your new roller shutters!
