Simple. Smart. Custom.
INSIDE AND OUTSIDE MOUNT
IMPORTANT:
The cords running along the underside of the
headrail must be able to move freely.
To avoid tangling or
damage to the cords, make sure the “wings” of the wingnut are
facing the sides of the window.
1.
Remove the wingnuts from the brackets if you haven’t done so
already.
2.
With the front of the shade facing you, fit the pre-drilled holes
of the headrail to each of the drop-bolts on the brackets. While
holding the headrail to the brackets with one hand, use your
other hand to attach each of the wingnuts to the drop-bolts.
Tighten the wingnuts until the shade is firmly held in place.

3.
If you have a corded shade, pull the cords down and away from the window to release the cord lock and lower it. To raise it, pull the cords down
and toward the center of the window to engage the cord lock so your shade stays in position.

WARNING:
Blinds and shades with cords present a strangulation risk for young children
and pets. Cord cleats are included as an important safety feature. Please follow the steps
below to properly install them. If you need extra cleats, call our Customer Care team and
we’ll send them to you for free.
1.
Place the cord cleat inside, or next to the window frame, so it’s well out of reach of small
hands and paws (typically 4’-5’ above the floor). For inside mount, be sure the cleat is set
behind the fabric, close to the window.
2.
Use your pencil to mark through the hole in the cord cleat. You can pre-drill a hole with a
5/64” drill bit to make the screw easier to install, if you prefer.
3.
Align the hole in the cord cleat with your mark and attach with screw provided. Do NOT
over-tighten the screw!
4.
After lifting or lowering the shade with the control cords, wrap the cords around the cord
cleat to safely tuck them away. If you choose to install 2 cord cleats on one window, repeat
steps 1-3 to install the second cleat upside-down, just under the first one. You can then
wrap your cords in a figure 8 around both cleats.

CORDLESS ROMAN SHADES
NOTE:
Cordless roman shades come with a clear plastic handle to help protect the fabric over
multiple uses.
1.
At the bottom pleat of the roman shade, locate the sewn-in hem bar.
2.
Clip the handle to the center of the bottom hem bar.
3.
To operate, grab the handle with your hand, and gently lift or lower the hem bar; the shade will
stay in place when released.
