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

Optional Brackets:

Extension Brackets

(Offers clearence for obstructions) Outside mounting extension brackets will brovide 1"-3" clearance between the headrail and mounting surface. Assemble extension bracket as shown. Secure an extension bracket to each standard mounting bracket.

Spacers

Outside mounting spacers will provide an additional 3/8" clearance as shown. If spacers are used, longer screws may be required to ensure a secure installation. Utilize one spacer behind each bracket.

Hold-Down Brackets

(Eliminates Sway) Ideal for doors, hold-down brackets prevent shade from swaying. Assemble as shown to each side of bottomrail.

Side-Mount Brackets

(Ideal for windows below transoms and arches) Alternative mounting method when no frame is available above the window for mounting. Use only if shade dimensions fall within 6" W x 6" L (corded) or 12" W x 12" L (cordless) to a maximum of 48" W x 72" L.

Mark the bracket locations - outside mount installation (installation outside window casing)

• Measure headrail width.

• End brackets should be approximately 1"-2" in from each end of the headrail. Space any remaining brackets evenly across the headrail, no more than 30" apart.NOTE: Ensure that bracket placement will not interfere with any components inside the headrail.

• With a pencil, mark the mounting screw locations through the rear holes of the bracket, 2 per bracket. Use a level to ensure bracket alignment.

• Go to Step 2.

Mark the bracket locations - inside mount installation (installation inside window casing)

• Verify that window casing has a minimum depth of 5/8" for corded and 1/2" for cordless shades.

• Place the bracket on the inside top of the window frame, 1"-2" in from the ends. Space any remaining brackets evenly across the proposed headrail location, no more than 30" apart.

• If flush mount is desired, place the bracket 2-1/4" back from the inside top of the window frame.

• With a pencil, mark the drill hole locations through the top holes of the bracket, 2 per bracket.

Install shade on brackets

Corded Shades/Angles/Specialty Shapes

• Hook the rear lip of the headrail on the mounting bracket spring tab.

• While pushing back against the bracket, rotate the front of the headrail upward to engage the top locking tab of the mounting bracket. The shade will easily snap onto the bracket.

• CAUTION: Be sure the bracket and headrail are properly secured before operating the shade.

To remove the shade: While pushing back on the headrail, rotate the front of the headrail down. Never force the spring tab beyond the back of the bracket.

See 3B for installing cordless shades or continuous cordloop shades

Install shade on brackets

Cordless/Continuous Cordloop Shades

• Hang the curved front side of the headrail on front lip of brackets.

• Rotate headrail backward toward window until a snapping sound is heard. This will let you know that the shade is engaged into brackets.

• CAUTION: Be sure that the bracket and headrail are properly secured before operating the shade.

• Use included hex-head screw (#8 X 1-1/4" long) to secure the shu-clip (attached to cordloop) to mounting surface, ensuring that the cordloop is taut.

To remove headrail from bracket: Insert flat head screwdriver into square opening on bracket tab. Push backward to disengage tab from headrail.

Install decorative drapery hardware valance (optional)

• Hook the valance on the front of the headrail and rotate downward until all snaps engage under the headrail.

• Screw the finials into the holes at each end of the valance.

Installing Arch and Half Arch Shades

Install the mounting track

• Position the mounting track in the desired mounting location. If necessary, trim the ends of the mounting track with heavy scissors.

• Secure the mounting rail to the mounting surface with the provided #6 screws. Start 1/2" in from each end, and space remaining mounting screws evenly between the ends, not more than 12" apart.

Note: Depending on the mounting surface, you may need to predrill 1/16" pilot holes, or use additional drywall anchors (not included).

Insall the fabric pack on the carrier rail

• Starting at one end of the carrier rail, slide the lead carrier onto the rail. The lead carrier should be at the end that you want the shade to fully close, with the knob facing away from the window opening.

• Slide the remaining carriers onto the carrier rail.

Attach the carrier rail

• Hook the flange of the carrier rail under the lip on the mounting track.

• Snap the other side of the carrier rail into the mounting track to secure it in place. If necessary, trim the ends of the mounting track with heavy scissors.

Install the valance rail

• Holding the fabric pack out of the way, center the valance rail inside the mounting track, making sure it is centered left to right and front to back.

• Secure in place with #6 mounting screws, with one at each end and spacing the remaining screws evenly along the length of the valance rail.

• Tuck the end of the fabric pack WITHOUT the lead carrier down into the valance rail, making sure the fabric folds properly into the valance rail.

Fan the shade open

• Using the knob on the lead carrier, fan the shade open to ensure smooth movement.

• The other end of the shade should remain seated in valance rail, with the fabric and carriers spaced evenly along the length of the arch.
