Step I- Reducing The Size Of Mini Blinds

  • Take The Measurements Of The Window: Start by measuring up the window height so as to find out the actual length that the users require for their mini blinds. The users need to start from the inner top of the casing where the users affix the blinds and then calculate the measurements of the whole area towards the base of the window.
  • Take The Measurements: Then they need to lay the mini blinds over any flat leveled surface and then read it out to its full size. Then the users need to calculate their measurements from the blind casing top to the slat of the blind. Then they need to move down one extra slat so as to leave a little space for any error in the measurements. Then the users need to mark down the 1st slat that they are going to detach it by using the pen or the marker.
  • Detach The Track Plugs: Then the users need to detach the track plugs as most of the mini blinds are furnished with the plugs made up of the plastic at the below side of the base rail. Most of the designs of the mini blinds are having the three plugs as per the size of the tracks. Then they need to release the tracks so as to lift up the cord and the three plugs at the surface of the mini blinds.
  • Unbrace The Clumps: Then they need to unbrace the clump that is on the lifting cords and then pull it in the upward directions. By doing this the users will easily make the cords slide within the grooves in between the tracks and the blind slats at the above surface of the rail. The users need to keep on pulling up the cords in the upward direction till the slat that the users marked is free from the surface of the blinds
  • Slide Down The Base Track: Then the users need to slide down the base track from the ladder and this will give the users great access to the slats of the blinds.
  • Detach The Slats: Then they can easily detach the slats as much as they need to and then they need to require slide each slat out from the three string track.

Step II- Finishing Up The Process

  • Re-affix The Base: The users need to re-affix the base rail and to do so they need to slide back the rail to its string ladders below the rest of the slats of the blinds and then they need to cut the unused ladder portion that the users do not need further.
  • Rejoin The Lift Cords: Then they need to rejoin the lifted cords and to do so they need to tie down the fresh knot within the three ends and they need to use the tape measure so as to be assured that the fresh knots are in the perfect place and then the slats of the blind will hang up evenly.
  • Renew The Cord Plugs: The users then need to renew the plugs of the rails and they need to be assured that they all lie in the exact place and then hang up the altered mini blinds back to its place. The users are advised to raise and lower their mini blinds and they are also advised to close and open up the blinds so as to be assured that the blinds are working properly.
