Thanks Justin. Without this I wouldn’t have had the confidence to cut my blinds and fit them. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the video. Having just bought my first day & night blind, too big for the window, cannot be cut to size it stated. Well I followed the instructions on this video thoroughly, 3 hours later (I am a 40Yr old female and not great with DIY) with perseverance and some swearing, I am so proud I did it!! It looks amazing!

Thanks Justin, I needed a refresher on how to remove the blinds from washing, your video clearly showed the clip-on brackets, got it. It's been years since they were up. Cheers George

Love the impact driver usage. You know not to smash the screws in but be gentle.

This is such a brilliant tutorial. I just bought 8 blinds D&N blinds from Dunelm, I was so disheartened when I read you can't cut to size. This video has given me hope I am going to practice with the smaller and cheapest blind. Do you have any other tips for me ?

[paulandrews]

Ok great video. What manufacturer as the ones I just bought didn't have the rear box and yours looks much better?

[sallybell]

I fitted one of there yesterday but the horizontal lines don’t match up. One end is out of line. Any suggestions?

Looks great. How did the blind get put back into the top to roll back on itself...? And would help to see the bracket fixings along the top. Maybe next time? Thanks

Nice one Justin, Could you tell me what brand those day/night roller blinds are that you used or a link to where you purchased them please. 👍🏻

[mantie]

I need to fit mine outside the window as im not confident with cutting it myself. Any tips on doing that please?

[BarbaraHart-obzf]

How do I fix the stoppers at bottom of blind they keep popping out

[selinamarie_x]

Does it matter if the blind is longer than it’s meant to be?

[megalingard]

Hi there, I wonder if you could help me?. I bought the exact same blind from Dunelm in Grey, followed everything in your video to help me get it right. All went great - THANK YOU, but an issue of the blind going all the way to the top without the blind starting to bunch up is a problem. I would send you a video of what's happening if you like so you could help better?..

Can they be fitted to the front of the window to avoid cutting it down ? I've found one of these on marketplace but it's a few cm too long to fit it inside the window like you have.
Can it go so it would drop down to the front of the sill?

[slugie]

Hi Justin great video 😊
Do you have the outside of the roller towards the window or towards the room?
Also when you get to the bottom i would like mine to be the same as yours in night time and is there a way to adjust it the blind is rolled to the bottom and its day time or does it just depend on the drop of the window

Thank you
