Mount the Brackets
Mounting Options
The installation brackets may be
inside mounted
,
outside mounted
or
ceiling mounted
. With inverted angles and tapers, the headrail must be
mounted level. (Level mounting does not apply to angle-top blinds.)
• With inside mounts and ceiling mounts, use a carpenter’s level to
check that the mounting surface is level. Shim the brackets, if
necessary.
• With outside mounts, the tops of the brackets must be level and
aligned at the same height.
Intermediate brackets are required for both inside and outside
mounts if the blind is over 48" wide (see chart below).

• Attach the bracket(s) with two screws
through diagonal holes.
Extension Brackets (Optional)
Attach 2" or 4" extension brackets to the mounting surface in the
same locations where the end brackets and intermediate brackets
would be attached.
• Align and level extension brackets with a carpenter's level.
• Use two screws to mount each extension bracket.
• Attach the installation brackets to the extension brackets using the
screws and nuts provided, as shown below.

screw through a top hole and one through a side hole. Or:
