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 1
Mounting Brackets

 

There are two types of brackets used for real and faux wood blinds installation. Bracket appearance and quantity may vary depending on size and headrail length.

Always use two mounting screws per bracket.

Box bracket (one used at each end)

Center support bracket (spaced evenly between ends)

Preparing box brackets for installation:

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

Step 2
Using optional extension 2 brackets or spacers

 

If your blinds include optional extension brackets or spacers, you will need to use them to determine mounting hole locations in Steps 3 and 4.

Extension brackets

Align the holes in the box bracket with the desired set of small holes in the extension bracket, as shown, and temporarily attach the brackets together using two self-tapping screws per bracket. Use the installation screws shipped with your blinds and #8 drywall anchors (not included) to attach the extension brackets to the wall before final installation of the box bracket to the extension bracket.

Spacers

NOTE: If the width of the slats on your blinds is greater than 2", then the plastic spacer must be used as shown to allow for clearance between the blinds and the window. Blinds with slats wider than 2" will not function properly without the spacer.

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

 

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

• Position the center support bracket (if included) in the center, if using only one. If more than one center support bracket is included, space them evenly along the headrail. Make sure they will not interfere with the cord mechanism.

• Use a spirit level to check for levelness. and mark the bracket mounting hole locations, two per bracket, making sure they are square and equally spaced.

• Continue to step 4A.

Example: Installation on drywall using drywall anchors and included screws.

Step 4A
Install the brackets — outside-mount installation

 

Example: Installation in drywall using #8 drywall anchors and the included screws.

Use two screws per bracket.

Continue to step 5.

Inside Mount Installation

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.

• Position the center support bracket (if included) in the center, if using only one. If more than one center support bracket is included, space them evenly along the headrail. Make sure they will not interfere with the cord mechanism.

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

Step 4B
Install the brackets — inside-mount installation

 

Example: Installation in a wood window frame using the included screws. Use two screws per bracket. Drill pilot holes using a 1/16" drill bit. Depending on the installation location, box brackets can be attached using the top, back, or side holes.

OR

Step 5
Attaching the headrail to the mounting brackets

 

• Align the headrail, tilt mechanism facing out, with the brackets.

• Slide it straight back into the brackets.

• If the headrail can slide from side to side in the box brackets, use a flat-head screwdriver to bend out the tabs on the ends of the headrail until it is snug.

• Lower the front of each box bracket and press until the locking tab clicks into place.

• Remove the binding from the blinds.

Step 6
Attach optional hold-down brackets (on some styles)

 

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

• Mark the center of the bottom rail.

• Drill 1⁄8" diameter by 1⁄2" deep starter hole to prevent chipping.

• Tap the hold-down pin into the drilled hole.

• 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.

• Slip the hold-down pin into the hole in the bracket.

Step 7
DesignLine™ Valance (Outside/Inside Mount) Installations

 

• Attach the valance clips to the headrail by snapping the valance clips into the slots on the headrail.

• For outside mount DesignLine valances, attach the corner to the front and return valances.

• Attach the valance to the valance clips.

 

Step 8
Traditional & Transitional Valance (Outside/Inside Mount) Installations

 

• Attach the valance clips to the headrail.

• Attach the pre-assembled valance to the valance clips.

How to Measure

Print Instructions
Measure For Inside Mounting

Measuring For Inside Mount Shades

  • 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. Factory will make the 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 point where blind is to reach.

 

 

 

 

Measure For Outside Mounting

Measuring For Outside Mount Shades

  • Step 1

    Find Width

    Measure exact distance to the nearest 1/8" between the outermost points where the blind is to be placed. For optimum 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 blind will be located to top of sill. If there is no sill or if blind is to overlap window frame, measure to point blind is to reach.

    Standard Factory Adjustments from Ordered Width

      Inside Mount Outside Mount
    Headrail -1/2" -1/4"
    Slat -1/2" 0
    Valance 0 +1"
