Mounting Types and Window Terminology

If the installation brackets are mounted correctly, the rest of the installation process follows easily. To prepare for this important 
first step, review the mounting types and basic window terminology illustrated below.

 

Refer to the appropriate page below based on your order:

Outside Mount —  Page 4

STEP 1 — Install the Brackets

 

Two end brackets are used to mount horizontal blinds. Wider blinds also require one or two intermediate brackets, as shown in 
the table below.

Mount the Installation Brackets — Inside or Ceiling Mount

Bracket Shims (Optional)

Bracket shims are used to gain clearance for valance clips with inside mounts. 
One shim for each end bracket and two shims for each intermediate bracket are 
included:

 

With each end bracket, first fold the shim and then position it on top of the 
end bracket to gain the required clearance.

 

With each intermediate bracket, stack two unfolded shims.

NOTE:  

Bracket shims may also be used to level the blind whenever the 

mounting surface is uneven. The shims can be cut along their fold line to make 
them fit.
