STEP 4: Install Valance Brackets (read entire step before install)
Your shade includes three (3) Valance Brackets, you must install at least two (2) of them.
Install one (1) Valance Bracket near each end of the shade. Note: the Valance Brackets
cannot be installed on the extreme edges of the shade, you will need to allow at least 2
inches (5 cm) at the ends of each side. We recommend installing the Valance Brackets
on the closest stud to each end of the shade, remembering to allow at least 2 inches (5
cm) from each end. If wood studs are not available, you will need to use anchors (not
included).
If you are installing the third Valance Bracket (recommended), we suggest installing
it on a wood stud near the center of the shade. It needs to be aligned with the two (2)
end Valance Brackets. If wood studs are not available, you will need to use anchors (not
included). Visit your local hardware store for more information.
Your shade includes a paper template to help align your pilot holes. Use of the template
is optional, but recommended. To use the template, temporarily adhere to your surface.
Make sure the template is at, level and unwrinkled before adhering it to your surface.
Remove the template before you install your Valance Brackets.
Important note: your shade will not install correctly unless your Valance Brackets are
perfectly aligned with each other. We recommend using a laser level (not included) to
align the screw holes.

WALL INSTALLATION
For wall installations, you need to allow at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) above the Valance
Bracket to allow the Valance to hook onto the Valance Bracket (only if there is a
ceiling that overhangs the shade) (see Fig D).
For a wall installation, make sure the plastic tabs on your Valance Brackets are
pointing towards the ground (see Fig E). Use the Bracket Screws to install the
Valance Brackets.
CEILING INSTALLATION
For ceiling installations, you need to allow at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) behind the Va-
lance Bracket to allow the Valance to hook onto the Valance Bracket (only if there
is a wall/window behind the shade) (see Fig F).
For ceiling installation, make sure the plastic tabs on your Valance Brackets are
pointing out, towards you (see Fig G). Use the Bracket Screws to install these
Valance Brackets.

It is very important that all brackets are perfectly aligned with each other.
