GETTING STARTED
Installation Overview
• Your order will include the correct number of installation brackets for your shading
width, as shown in the table below.
• Shading orders may also include spacer blocks or extension brackets, if they were
specified for added clearance.
— Extension brackets are used for side mount shadings, as well.
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.
Shim
– A thin strip of material used to align parts to make them fit.

Importance of Limit Stops on Window Shadings
Limit stops serve as the upper travel limit for the bottom rail, preventing it from
rotating around the fabric roll. Limit stops are located 6" from the ends of the
headrail or are centered on shadings less than 36" wide.
When a shading is made, the limit stops are adjusted according to the size of the
fabric roll. Occasionally, this adjustment changes during shipping or installation.
If this happens, problems can be fixed by readjusting the limit stops. See page 16
in the Troubleshooting section if shading operation is difficult or if the bottom rail
rotates around the fabric roll. Shown below are the four possible positions of limit
stops for large to small fabric rolls.
