Is Professional Blind Installation Worth It? | The Chick Blinds
DIY vs Professional installation: Safety, concrete anchoring, level lines, and lifetime warranty benefits.
By Field Operations, The Chick Blinds•March 2026•4 min read
“Installing blinds into reinforced concrete apartment lintels requires heavy rotary hammer drills, the right wall plugs, and safety protocols on high floors.”
The Dangers of High-Rise Balcony DIY
Leaning out over a 15th-floor balcony railing to drill concrete lintels is dangerous without professional climbing harnesses and heavy-duty dust-containment tools.
Perfect Level Lines and Smooth Pulley Action
If a blind is mounted even 3mm out of level, the roll-up cord will bunch up on one side and fray prematurely. Professional installers use precision spirit levels and laser guides.
