Measure and Mark Bracket Locations
■
Position the SofTrak
™
headrail over the window or door opening at the ordered height, found on the
headrail label. Use a pencil to lightly mark each end of the headrail.
➤
Alternatively, measure the width of the headrail and use that width to mark the headrail end points
over the opening.
IMPORTANT:
Typically, split stack designs are centered over the opening. However, side stack designs
may be offset to one side if the fabric was intended to stack partially or completely off the window or
door opening. The intended stackback must be taken into account when marking the headrail end
points.
■
Mark 130mm from each end of the headrail.
➤
If more than two installation brackets are required (see table on previous page), mark the locations
of additional bracket(s) spaced evenly between the two end brackets.
CAUTION:
Installation brackets should be fastened into wood whenever possible. Use drywall anchors
when mounting into drywall. When attaching brackets into drywall, additional brackets may be required to
keep the headrail level after the fabric is attached.
■
Mark the bracket mounting height to allow proper floor clearance for the fabric when attached to the
headrail. This method provides a minimum of 13mm floor clearance.
➤
Locate the ordered height on the headrail label.
➤
Spacer Blocks:
Measure the ordered height minus
6mm from the floor surface. Mark this height at each
bracket location.
➤
Extension Brackets:
Measure the ordered height plus
6mm from the floor surface.
Mark this height at each bracket location.
IMPORTANT:
Mount the screws at the height indicated,
or higher for additional floor clearance. Be sure to clear
all floor obstructions such as carpet, vents, rugs, etc.
