BASICS
A few simple tools are required:
- Measuring tape
- Power drill, drill bits
- Hex head and/or Phillips driver bit
- Pencil
Additional fasteners other than those sent with your shade may be
required depending on the mounting surface. Wallboard and plaster
require the use of anchors such as expansion or toggle bolts. Brick,
tile or stone need special plugs and drill bits. Remember to always
pre-drill holes in wood to avoid splitting.
BRACKET INSTALLATION
Shades are shipped with the required number of brackets for proper
installation. End brackets should be located approximately 3” from
either end. Depending on the width of the shade, additional brackets
may be necessary, evenly spaced between the two end brackets.
Use this Number

INSERTING THE HEADRAIL
Important -
For top down / bottom up shades, remove the tie-wrap
that is around the headrail before installing the shade.
Position the headrail with the front lip (A) resting on the top hooks of
all the brackets. Make sure that no fabric is pinched between the
brackets and the headrail.
Push the bottom of the
headrail firmly upwards and
toward the window until the
leg at the bottom of the
headrail snaps into place,

REMOVING THE HEADRAIL
To remove a shade, insert a screwdriver between the headrail and

Gently pry the screwdriver to release the
bracket from the headrail. Take care not to
damage the painted finish of the headrail.
As you release the brackets, support the
headrail to keep it from falling.
