Valance Options

None

All roller shades are manufactured without a valance.

For a more finished look, we offer the standard valance or the cassette valance upgrade options.

Standard

Made in the same material as your shade, the standard valance lends a seamless and finished look to your roller shade.

For patterns where there are vertical lines, these lines will run horizontally in the valance.

For patterns where there are horizontal lines, these lines will run vertically in the valance.

Cassette

A cassette is an enclosed valance with a curved front panel, with a matching strip of material/fabric inserted across the face of the cassette.

The cassette comes in two sizes, determined by the size of the shade and the thickness of the fabric.

For patterns where there are vertical lines, these lines will run horizontally in the valance

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

Mounting Brackets

 

Step 1
Mark the bracket locations

 

• Carefully measure the length of the shade from the flat surface of the control end to the base of the small pin on the spring plunger end. Deduct off approximately 1/4" to ensure proper tensioning of the roller in the brackets.

• Make sure that there is enough clearance for the rolled up shade and that it will not rub or catch on the window, window frame or any obstructions when fully rolled up.

• Mark this distance on the mounting surface at the desired bracket height so that it is centered in the window opening.

Outside Mount

 

Inside Mount

For outside mount installations, go to step 2A.
Forinside mount installations, go to step 3A.
For cassette valance installations, go to step 4.

Step 2A
Install The Brackets - Outside Mount

 

• Align the notch on each bracket with the marks, from Step 1making sure they are square and spaced equally from the window. IMPORTANT: Be sure to note the correct location of each bracket; the brackets are not interchangeable.

• Mark the bracket mounting hole locations (use of the slotted holes is recommended), two screws per bracket.

• Attach the brackets to the wall or window frame using suitable fasteners.

Example: Installation on drywall using the included screws and drywall anchors (not included).

Step 2B
Install the valance brackets for outside-mount installations

 

NOTE: This step is for outside-mount installations using a standard valance ONLY.

• Install the valance mounting brackets, spacing the brackets approximately 3"in from the shade brackets and making sure they are level.Any additional brackets should be spaced evenly between the ends.

• Make sure there will be sufficient clearance between the roller shade and the valance.

• Proceed to Step 5

Example: Installation on drywall using the included screws and drywall anchors (not included).

Step 3A
Prepare the standard valance for inside-mount installations

 

NOTE: This step is for inside-mount installations using a standard valance ONLY.

• Mark the inside surface of the valance top in the same way as described in Step 1 for inside mount.

• Align the notch on each bracket with the marks, making sure they are square and equally spaced from the front of the valance.

IMPORTANT: Be sure to note the correct location of each bracket; the brackets are not interchangeable.

• Mark the bracket mounting hole locations (use of the slotted holes in the brackets is recommended).

• Carefully drill a through-hole in the valance top at each marked bracket hole location

Step 3B
Install the brackets— inside mount

 

• Align the notch on each bracket with the marks, from Step 1making sure they are square and spaced equally from the window.

IMPORTANT: Be sure to note the correct location of each bracket; the brackets are not interchangeable.

• Mark the bracket mounting hole locations (use of the slotted holes is recommended), two screws per bracket.

• Attach the brackets to the wall or window frame using suitable fasteners. If you are installing a valance, install it between the brackets and the mounting surface using the through-holes drilled in Step 3A.

• Proceed to Step 5

Example: Installation on a wood window frame using the included screws and optional valance

Step 4A
Special instructions for cassette valances

 

Mount the brackets to the wall or window frame, with the outside brackets no furtherthan 2 inches (50 mm) from the ends of the headrail. On wide shades, space the additional bracket(s) at equal intervals

NOTE: Bracket is determined by shade size

Step 4B
Special instructions for installing the roller shade headrail on cassette valance brackets

 

NOTE: Cassette valance size is determined by shade size

CASSETTE 80

• Position the headrail with the front panel resting on the top lip of all brackets.

• Push the bottom front of the headrail firmly backwards and toward the window until the lip on the rear of the headrail engages the bracket and snaps into place.

CASSETTE 120

• Position the headrail with the back panelresting on both bottom hooks of all brackets.

• Push the front of the headrail firmly upwards and toward the window until the groove at the top of the headrail snaps into place.

Step 5
Install the roller shade on the brackets

 

• Insert the pin on spring plunger into the hole on the bracket and press the shade into the bracket, depressing the plunger.

• Align the T-shaped holes in the control-end bracket with the tabs on the control end of the roller and the hook pointing down, as shown. Press down to lock the center hook into place.

• If your roller shade includes bracket cover caps, press them onto the brackets as shown below.

• Specialty option for outside mount shades -chosen at time of purchase.

• Remove the shipping wrapper from the around the roller.

For outside mount standard valances, go to step 6.

Otherwise go to step 7.

Step 6A
Install outside mount valances (not for all models)

 

If your valance does not include returns, skip to 6B

For valances with wraparound returns:

• Remove the tape from the fabric on the back of the valance and make sure the fabric extends equally on either end of the valance.

• Slide the corner clip onto a return panel. The tab will fit into the channels on the back of the return panel.

• Slide the assembled return panel onto one end of the valance. The tab will fit into the channels on the back of the valance, and the valance top will fit into the channel on the top of the return panel.

• Wrap the fabric around the end of the return panel.

• Press the caps into place.

• Repeat forthe other end. Once both returns are installed, pull the fabric taut to remove wrinkles and secure to the backs of the returns with masking tape

Step 6B
Install outside mount valances (for models without returns)

 

Attaching the valance to the valance brackets

• Centering the valance overthe roller shade, slide the top of the front valance panel into the valance clips until it locks into place. You can adjust the valance spacing from the wall by loosening the wingnuts on the valance brackets.

Step 7
Attach the tension device

 

Attaching the valance to the valance brackets:

Refer to instructions in the hold-down tension device.

How to Measure

Print Instructions
Measure For Inside Mounting

Measuring For Inside Mount Shades

  • Step 1

    Find Width

    Measure exact distance between inside surfaces of window frame at the top, middle, and bottom, and use the narrowest width. Do not make any width deductions.

  • Step 2

    Find Height

    Measure exact distance from inside surface at top of window to sill. If you prefer shade not to touch sill, deduct 1/4". If there is no sill, measure height to point where shade is to reach.

     

    Tip-to-Tip

    Tip-to-Tip Measure is the common measure type for most roller shades. Choosing this measure type will include the headrail "pegs" that mount the shade to the wall or frame.

    Tip-to-Tip

 

 

Measure For Outside Mounting

Measuring For Outside Mount Shades

  • Step 1

    Find Width

    Measure exact distance between the outermost points where the shade is to be placed. This measurement should overlap each side of window frame by at least 1-1/2". Factory makes no deduction from your shade width dimensions.

  • Step 2

    Find Height

    Measure exact distance from where top of shade will be located to top of sill. If there is no sill or if shade is to overlap window frame, measure to point shade is to reach.

     

    Cloth-to-Cloth

    Cloth Measure is uncommon and should only be used for Outside Frame applications. The headrail is wider than the cloth of the shade which causes the "pegs" to extend beyond the width of the shade material. This total distance is 1-3/8" wide, or a gap of 11/16" on each side of the shade material.

    Cloth-to-Cloth

     

    Note
    For Outside Mount applications allow the blind to overlap 1-1/2" to 3" on the sides, top and bottom of the window. You must add the overlap to your measurement; Kirsch does not add width or height for overlap on Outside Mounted shades.
