Setup of Install Space
Gear is built to work with many shade types, cord types, mount configurations, and mount
materials.
Generally, Gear works with any combination of:
SHADE TYPES
Roller Shades, Roman Shades, Vertical Blinds, Curtain or Drapes
CORD TYPES
Metal or Plastic Beaded Chain, String or Cord
MOUNT CONFIGURATIONS
Inside, Outside, Middle (Mullion)
MOUNT MATERIALS
Drywall, Metal, Glass, Wood, Plaster (requires additional accessories), Concrete (requires
additional accessories)
Gear comes bundled with a mounting bracket that can be installed on to the window frame
using screws or double-sided adhesive tape. Screws and tape come included in the package.
Screws are recommended if the mounting material is drywall or wood.
The tape is recommended for middle section installations or if the install space is metal or
glass.
For installation on plaster walls, screws with anchors must be used as the tape is unreliable on
this type of surface material. We recommend using 18-8 stainless steel #4 1-½” long phillips flat
head screws paired with #4-8 ¾” conical plastic anchors (not included).
For concrete surfaces, concrete screws are required for a secure installation. We recommend
using 3/16” diameter, 2-¼” long flat head concrete screws (not included). The holes for screws
on the mounting bracket will need to be enlarged to accommodate these 3/16” diameter
concrete screws that also comes with a bigger flat head.
