BASICS

A few simple tools are required:

-Measuring tape

-Power drill, drill bits

-Hex head and/or Phillips driver bit

-Pencil

Additional fasteners other than those sent with your shade may

be required depending on the mounting surface. Wallboard and

plaster require the use of anchors such as expansion or toggle

bolts. Brick, tile or stone need special plugs and drill bits.

Remember to always pre-drill holes in wood to avoid splitting.

Roman shades are constructed as either an Inside Mount or an

Outside Mount. The Installation Bracket can be mounted inside

the window opening, for an inside mount, or on the molding or

wall above the window for an outside mount. The Extension

Bracket and the Hold Down Bracket are optional items

requested at the time of ordering the shade. The Extension

Bracket provides projection of the Installation Bracket in order

to clear obstructions. The Hold Down Bracket keeps the shade

from swaying and is often used for installation on door

windows.

BRACKET INSTALLATION

Shades are shipped with the required number of brackets for

proper installation. End brackets should be located with

centerlines 2 1/2” in from each end. Depending on the width of

the shade, additional brackets may be necessary evenly

spaced between the two end brackets.

Using the Installation Bracket as a template, measure and mark

the center lines. When mounting brackets, make sure they are

in line and level.

INSIDE MOUNT

The brackets are mounted flat against the top sill surface. The

flat head screw should be placed through the hole closest to the

front of the bracket. To fully recess the shade requires a flat

surface with a minimum depth of 1 3/4”. Shallow mounting

requires 3/4” minimum.

OUTSIDE MOUNT

The brackets are mounted with

two bugle head screws through

the back end of the bracket flat

against the window molding or

the wall above the window. The

bracket requires a minimum 3/4”

high.

HANGING THE SHADE

1. Hold the shade up near the brackets and insert the front clip

of the bracket into the front groove of the rail.

2. Make sure the shade is centered in the window opening.

3. Push the rail back and up until the back clips of the bracket

are inserted in the back groove of the rail.

To remove shade, reverse procedure.

EXTENSION

BRACKETS (Optional)

Optional Extension Brackets are used to project the back of the

shade up to 2 3/8” from the mounting surface. Attach the

Installation Bracket to the Extension Bracket with the nut and

bolt provided.
