How to Install

Print Instructions

Before you begin your installation:

Read all installation instructions!

• Make sure that you have all tools and hardware needed for installation.

• Check the installation surface (wall, ceiling, or window frame) to ensure that you have suitable fasteners and tools for the material.

• Double check the headrail and shade for proper width and length. If you are installing several sets of shades, be sure to match them with the appropriate window.

• Check the parts list shipped with the product to confirm that you have the correct number of brackets.

 

Recommended Tools

• Phillips head screwdriver

• Pencil

• Level

• Tape measure

• Safety glasses

• Drill/drill bits (1/16" drill bit may be used to pre-drill for screws)

• 1/4" Wrench (if using extension brackets)

• Hex nutdriver (optional for mounting screws)

• Drywall anchors

Step 1A
Mounting Brackets

There are different types of mounting brackets, depending on the headrail size and style. However, all types shown below work in a similar manner.

Style 1

 

Style 2

 

Style 3

Step 1B
Preparing box brackets for installation:

 

Open the front of the bracket by pressing on the bottom of the bracket to release the locking tab while lifting the front gate.

Step 2
Optional extension brackets

 

If your blinds include optional extension brackets, temporarily assemble them to the mounting brackets at this time. You will need to use the extension brackets to determine mounting hole locations in Steps 3 and 4. Refer to the included instructions for your style of extension brackets.

Step 3A
Mark the bracket locations— outside-mount installation

 

• Position the box brackets at each end of the headrail.

• When using a single center support bracket, center it between the box brackets. For more than one center support bracket, space the support brackets evenly, not more than 30” apart. Making sure the brackets will not interfere with the cord mechanism or any other internal parts.

• Mark the bracket mounting hole locations, making sure they are square and equally spaced. For outside-mount installations, use a spirit level to check for levelness.

Step 3B
Mark the bracket locations— inside-mount installation

 

• Position the box brackets at each end of the headrail. Depending on the installation location, box brackets can be attached using the top, back, or the side holes.

• When using a single center support bracket, center it between the box brackets. For more than one center support bracket, space the support brackets evenly, not more than 30” apart. Making sure the brackets will not interfere with the cord mechanism or any other internal parts.

• Mark the location of the desired bracket mounting holes, making sure they are square and equally spaced.

 

Step 4
Optional Bracket Shims for Inside Mount

 

To properly engage the headrail on inside mount installations, some bracket styles require up to 1/4″ between the headrail locking tabs and the mounting surface. If needed, use the included shims to ensure the necessary spacing.

• Separate the shims.

• Align the shim(s) and mark with the mounting holes used for marking bracket locations in Step 3.

• Drill through-holes at the marked locations

Step 5A
Install the brackets— outside-mount installation

 

Example: Installation in drywall using drywall anchors and included screws. Use two screws per bracket.

Step 5B
Install the brackets— inside-mount installation

 

Example: Installation in a wood window frame using the included screws. Use two screws per bracket. Depending on the installation location, box brackets can be attached using the top, back, or the side holes.

Step 6
Attaching the headrail to the mounting brackets

 

Style 1

Fit the front lip of the headrail over the hook on the front of the bracket.

Roll the back of the headrail up until the back clips of the bracket lock into place with a "click." Be careful not to clip the top slat when attaching the headrail to the mounting brackets.

 

Style 2

Fit the front lip of the headrail over the hook on the front of the bracket.

Pressing back on the headrail, roll the back of the headrail up until the back clips of the bracket lock into place with a "click."

 

Style 3

Fit the front lip of the headrail over the spring-loaded ledge on the front of the bracket.

Pressing back on the headrail, roll the back of the headrail up until the back lip of the headrail catches on the back lip of the bracket.

Step 7
Attach the tilt wand

 

• Remove the protective rubber cap from the tilt mechanism on the headrail.

• Slide the wand sleeve onto the tilter stem and fit the flat end of the S-hook into the tilter stem.

• Hook the end of the tilt wand onto the S-hook/Loop and pull down the sleeve on the tilt mechanism.

• Rotate the tilt wand in each direction to ensure proper operation.

Step 8
Attach optional hold-down brackets (on some styles)

 

Type 1 – One-Piece Hold-Down Brackets

• With the hold-down brackets attached to the bottom rail, lower the blinds to the hold-down bracket mounting surface and mark the bracket locations.

• Attach the hold-down brackets at the bottom of the window with the included screws, as shown for your installation type.

• To attach the bottom rail, gently pull the brackets out slightly and insert the pins into the holes on the bottom rail of the blinds.

Type 2 – Two-Piece Hold-Down Brackets

• Clip the rounded end of the hold-down pins into the hole at each end of the bottom rail. The other end will hook into the hold-down brackets.

NOTE: Some styles may have the hold-down pins built into the bottom rail.

• With the hold-down brackets attached to the bottom rail, lower the blinds to the hold-down bracket mounting surface and mark the location of the bracket.

• Attach the hold-down brackets at the bottom of the window with the included screws, as shown for your installation type.

• Attach the bottom rail hold-down pins to the bracket. 

How to Measure

Print Instructions
Measure 

For Inside Mounting

Measuring For Inside Mount Blinds

  • Step 1

    Find Width

    Measure exact distance to the nearest 1/8" between inside surfaces of window frame at the top, middle, and bottom, and use the narrowest width. Do not make any width deductions. For custom blinds, the factory will automatically make appropriate deductions.

  • Step 2

    Find Height

    Measure exact distance to the nearest 1/8" from inside surface at top of window to sill at the left, middle and right and use the longest height. If you prefer blind not to touch sill, deduct 1/4". If there is no sill, measure height to the point where the shade reaches.

     

    Allow Some Overlap
    For outside mount applications allow the blind to overlap 1 1/2" to 3" on the sides, top and bottom of the window.

 


 

Measure For 

Outside Mounting

Measuring For Outside Mount Blinds

  • Step 1

    Find Width

    Measure exact distance to the nearest 1/8" between the outermost points where the blind is to be placed. For optimal light control, this measurement should extend 3/4" beyond the window opening on each side (or 1 1/2" for the entire width).

  • Step 2

    Find Height

    Measure exact distance to the nearest 1/8" from where top of the blind will be located to the top of sill. If there is no sill or if blind is to overlap window frame, measure to the point the shade reaches.

     

    Allow Some Overlap
    For outside mount applications allow the blind to overlap 1 1/2" to 3" on the sides, top and bottom of the window.

 


 

Measure 

For Inside Mounting

Measuring for 2-on-1 and 3-on-1 Headrail

  • Step 1


    Measure overall width of the area to be covered.

  • Step 2


    Measure width of the area each blind is to cover. Measure and specify the left shade first, continuing to the right. Factory will allow a minimum of 1/2" between shades for operating clearance.

  • Step 3


    The total width of all shades must equal the total headrail width. If ordering a valance wider than the blind, a diagram is required.

  • Step 4


    To measure height, use standard inside or outside measuring procedures.
