Vertical blinds are a practical and stylish window covering that can control the amount of light and privacy in your room. They consist of vertical slats or vanes that hang from a track and can be tilted or drawn to the side with a wand or a chain. Some vertical blinds also have a chain at the bottom that connects the slats and keeps them aligned.
To put chain on bottom of vertical blinds, you need to remove the slats from the track, attach the chain clips to the slats, thread the chain through the clips, and rehang the slats on the track. This process may take some time and patience, but it will improve the appearance and function of your vertical blinds.
To put chain on bottom of vertical blinds, you will need:
The first step is to remove the slats from the track. To do this, you need to tilt the slats to an open position and slide them off the hooks on the track. You may need to use a screwdriver or a pair of pliers to release some of the hooks if they are tight. Keep track of the order of the slats and label them with a pencil and paper if needed.
Lay the slats on a tarp or plastic sheet in a well-ventilated area.
The next step is to attach the chain clips to the slats. The chain clips are small plastic pieces that have a hole for the chain and a clip for the slat. You can find them online or in hardware stores.
To attach the chain clips, you need to measure the distance between the clips and mark it on each slat with a pencil. The distance may vary depending on your preference and your slat size, but it should be consistent for all slats.
Then, snap the chain clips onto the bottom edge of each slat at the marked spots. Make sure they are aligned and secure.
The third step is to thread the chain through the clips. The chain is a continuous loop that connects all the slats together. You can find it online or in hardware stores.
To thread the chain, you need to start from one end of the slats and insert one end of the chain into one hole of a clip. Then, pull it through until you reach another hole of another clip on another slat. Repeat this process until you have threaded all the holes on one side of all slats.
Then, do the same thing for the other side of all slats, making sure that both ends of the chain meet at one end of one slat.
The final step is to rehang the slats on the track. To do this, you need to reverse the process of removing them. Start by hooking one end of one slat onto one hook on one end of the track. Then, hook another end of another slat onto another hook on another end of the track.
Continue this process until you have rehung all slats on all hooks on both ends of the track.
Then, adjust your vertical blinds as needed and enjoy your new look!
Q: How do I fix a broken chain on vertical blinds?
A: If your chain on vertical blinds is broken or detached, you can fix it by using a new piece of string and tying it to one end of the broken or detached chain. Then, thread it through all holes on all clips until you reach another end of another broken or detached chain. Tie them together securely and cut off any excess string.
Q: How do I replace a missing clip on vertical blinds?
A: If your clip on vertical blinds is missing or damaged, you can replace it by buying a new clip compatible with your slat size and type. Then, snap it onto your slat at your desired spot and thread your chain through it.
Q: How do I clean my vertical blinds?
A: To clean your vertical blinds, you can use a vacuum cleaner with an upholstery attachment or a soft brush to remove any dust or dirt. You can also use a damp cloth or sponge with some mild detergent to wipe down any stains or spots. Rinse them with clean water and let them dry completely before rehanging them.
Putting chain on bottom of vertical blinds is a simple and effective way to improve your window treatment and give it a more uniform and neat look. You just need to remove the slats from the track, attach the chain clips to the slats, thread the chain through the clips, and rehang the slats on the track. You can use a screwdriver or a pair of pliers to help you with some of the steps.
