Before You Begin: The Winlor Pre-Install Checklist
A successful installation starts before you even open the box. To ensure your custom-made blinds fit perfectly and function smoothly, we recommend the following professional tips:
1. Verify Your Measurements
Check your order confirmation against your window frame one last time. Ensure you have the correct depth for an Inside Mount or sufficient flat surface for an Outside Mount.
2. Gather Your Tools
Most Winlor products require a power drill (with a 1/8" bit), a level, a measuring tape, and a screwdriver. A level is critical—if the brackets aren't perfectly horizontal, your blinds may "telescope" or roll unevenly.
3. Surface Preparation
Ensure your window casing or drywall is sturdy. For heavy motorized units or wide zebra blinds, we recommend securing brackets into studs or using high-quality wall anchors.

Post-Installation: Troubleshooting & Care
Once your blinds are up, follow these steps to ensure they last for decades:
1. Blinds Not Rolling Straight?
If your roller or zebra blind drifts to one side, it is likely slightly out of level. You can "shim" the fabric by placing a small piece of masking tape on the roller tube on the opposite side of the drift to balance the diameter.
2. Motorized Shade Not Responding?
First, check the battery levels. Most Winlor motorized units feature rechargeable Li-ion batteries. If fully charged, try resetting the motor using the "P1" button on the headrail. Refer to the Motorized Programming Guide for specific blink patterns and signal codes.
3. Cleaning Your Fabric
Most of our synthetic fabrics can be lightly dusted or vacuumed with a soft brush attachment. For stains, use a lukewarm damp cloth with extremely mild soap. Never soak cellular shades, as this can damage the internal thermal glue bonds.
Save Time. Ensure Perfection.
While our guides are designed for clarity, high-end window treatments—especially large motorized systems, California shutters, and custom drapery—often require the steady hand of a professional. A single mistake during drilling can damage your window casing or lead to improper tensioning of the fabric.
