INSTALLATION

Installation Overview

One of the following bracket types are required depending on shade options ordered. The number of brackets required varies with shade width, as shown in the table below.

Mounting Types and Window Terminology

If the installation brackets are mounted correctly, the rest of the installation process follows easily. To prepare for this important first step, review the mounting types and basic window terminology.

➤ Standard Shades – Ceiling Mount — Page 4
➤ Standard Shades – Outside Mount — Page 5
➤ Turned Headrail Shades — Page 6

Mount the Standard Installation Brackets — Inside Mount

Mark 1″ in from each jamb.

If more than two installation brackets came with your order, space additional bracket(s) evenly between the two end brackets and mark their location. Mount into wood whenever possible.

Center the brackets on your marks, then mark each of the screw holes.
Minimum mounting depth for bracket attachment is 11/2″. Fully recessed mounting depth is 21/4″.
NOTE: Adjust bracket placement to gain clearance to avoid any obstructions, such as window cranks or handles.

IMPORTANT: The front edges of the installation brackets must be level and aligned.

Drill the screw holes using a 3/32″ drill bit.

Attach the installation brackets using the screws provided.

IMPORTANT: Use drywall anchors when mounting into drywall.

Proceed to “Install the Shade” on page 7.

Mount the Standard Installation Brackets — Ceiling Mount

Center each bracket over your marks on the mounting surface. Drill the screw holes using a 3/32″ drill bit.
IMPORTANT: Use drywall anchors when mounting into drywall.
Attach using two screws through the top holes. The shade must be mounted level to operate properly. Use a level to
ensure that all brackets are level and aligned. Shim the brackets, if necessary.

Mount the Standard Installation Brackets — Outside Mount

Center the headrail over the window opening at the desired height. Use a pencil to lightly mark each end of the headrail.
Alternatively, measure the width of the headrail and use that width to mark the headrail end points over the window opening.

Mark 1″ in from each end of the headrail.

If more than two installation brackets came with your order, space additional bracket(s) evenly between the two end brackets and mark their location. Mount into wood whenever possible.

Center the brackets on your marks, then mark each of the screw holes. A minimum 17/8″ flat vertical surface is required to mount the brackets. The top of the installation bracket should be at the desired shade height. IMPORTANT: The brackets should be level and aligned.

CAUTION: The rear of the brackets must be flush against a flat mounting surface.

Do not mount brackets on a curved molding.

Drill the screw holes using a 3/32″ drill bit.

Attach the installation brackets using the screws provided.

IMPORTANT: Use drywall anchors when mounting into drywall.

Mount the Turned Headrail

Inside/Ceiling Mount
■ Hold the turned headrail in place.
■ Press a headrail screw through each drilled hole in the headrail to mark the screw holes.
■ Drill the screw holes using a 3/32″ drill bit.
IMPORTANT: Use drywall anchors when mounting into drywall.
■ Attach the headrail to the mounting surface with the screws provided.

Outside Mount
■ Measure the headrail width. Use the chart as a reference of the number of screws needed for your shade.
➤ Screws will be used in pairs with an inch between the pair of screws.
■ Lift the valance and mark the headrail 11/2″ in from each end for the first screw in the pair.
IMPORTANT: Avoid drilling through the vertically oriented yarns on the shade fabric.
➤ Mark an inch from your mark for the location of the next screw in the pair.
■ Mark the location of each pair of screws spaced evenly between the two end pairs. Mount into wood whenever possible.
■ Drill the screw holes in the headrail and on the mounting surface using a 3/16″ drill bit.
IMPORTANT: Use drywall anchors when mounting into drywall.
■ Attach the headrail to the mounting surface using the screws provided.

Install the Shade

■ Hold the shade so the valance faces you.
■ Align the studs on the installation brackets with the slots in the headrail of the shade.
■ Place the wing nuts onto the studs and tighten them about 1/2″.
■ If valance returns are included, slide the valance return between the headrail and the brackets.
■ Tighten the wing nuts completely.
■ Check that the brackets securely hold the shade and valance returns.

Attach the Optional Components

If You Ordered Valance Returns…
■ Remove the paper from the pressure sensitive tape on the valance returns. Smooth the valance down the sticky portion of the tape.

If You Ordered Hold-Down Brackets…
Hold-down brackets provide stability and prevent swaying by securing the bottom rail — for example, in French door applications. Hold-down brackets can only be used with outside mount shades.

■ Lower the shade and place the pins from the hold-down brackets into the bottom rail end caps.
■ On the mounting surface, mark the screw holes.
■ Drill the screw holes using a 3/32″ drill bit.
■ Attach the hold-down brackets to the mounting surface using the screws provided.

To lower the shade:
■ Pull the cord towards the inside of the shade to unlock.

Troubleshooting

CARE

Removing the Shade

CHILD SAFETY

CHILD SAFETY WARNING

excess cord around them after each use of the shade.
