Install Large Curtain

Hang the large curtains first. Use the 1" webbing to adjust the height and level of the curtain. The top of the window opening should end up slightly above the window frame. Some adjustments should be left between the clip and the top of the curtain.

Apply Primer

Once the curtain is hanging straight, locate the primer packet supplied with the blind kit. In the general area where the hook sections were installed, lightly wipe down the blind wall. Only wipe where the adhesive will attach. Do not over apply, the primer needs to dry before applying adhesive.

Apply Adhesive

Once primer is dry, starting from the top center spot, begin removing paper backing and sticking the hook sections. Work from the center out. Do the same on the bottom half of the curtain. Apply the very bottom location last. Don't worry if you don't get it perfectly straight. Once the adhesive cures you can simply adjust with the hook and loop. Repeat this process for all 3 large curtains.

Hang Small Curtains

Use the vertical strips of hook and loop to align the small curtains to the large. Adjust the 1" webbing as necessary. Repeat steps for remaining curtains. Ensure you install the small curtains with the vent holes in the correct locations, do not block the blind vents.
