Measure the largest radius of the
shade. Depending on the size of
your shade it may be the clutch
or the rolled fabric.
Determine largest shade radius. It
may be the fabric or clutch control.
Side mount will generally give
you the smallest light gap along
the top of the shade. Add 1 /4" for
clearance to the shade radius,
measure down from the top
window frame and make a mark.
If you have a channel valance
increase the clearance to 5/16".
Locate the center hole of the
bracket on this mark.
If brackets are ceiling/top
mounted, position them far
enough forward away from the
window to accommodate the
largest shade radius and so the
shade will clear any window
frames, locks or other obstacles.
Critical note:
Brackets must be
mounted level to ensure the
shade rolls up properly.
Once bracket location has been
determined, mark the mounting
hole locations with a pencil, drill
pilot holes with a 1/16" drill bit
and screw brackets into place. If
you do not have a channel
valance proceed to Step 3.

STEP 2A
Mounting the optional channel valance
Hold the valance up with the
fabric facing the room and center
over the window opening. The
top of the valance must extend
into the window frame at least
1 3/8".
To mount the valance face flush
with the wall, mark at 3" from the
front. The corners and returns are
not used with a flush mounted
valance. The fabric insert is made
1/4" larger on each side to extend
into the valance corner. If desired,
the fabric can be peeled back and
the the vinyl insert can be cut with
scissors.
The valance must be mounted far
enough in front of the brackets to
accommodate the largest shade
radius. Measure from the center
of the round hole in the bracket
plus 1/4" clearance. Mark the
back of the valance along the top
of the window frame with a
pencil.

Take the valance down from the
window and turn upside down.
Measure 6" in from each end and
a minimum of 1/2" up and mark
with a pencil. Space additional
screws equally across the width
of the valance.
If window frame depth is
available, another row of screws
will provide additional support.
Using a 3/16" drill bit, drill a hole
at each marked location.
Place the valance into the window
and align the back edge to the
pencil mark in the window frame.
Use the valance as a template to
mark the valance hole locations
on the inside of the window
frame.
Using a 1 /16" drill bit, drill a pilot
hole for the screw at each mark.
Screw the valance into place.
If the valance extends in front of
the wall surface, attach the
valance corners and valance
returns. The valance returns can
be trimmed to length with a
scissor.
Proceed to Step 3.
