Place the panel on the rod. To ensure
it drapes at the correct length, hold
it up to the spot you wish to install
it; this will allow you to raise or lower
your treatment as desired.
After you’ve located the ideal
location, use a pencil to mark the wall
where the top of the rod is resting.
Remove the panel from the rod and
then center the rod over the window
opening at the desired height. Using
the pencil, mark where the ends of
each rod are positioned; if you’re
using a center bracket, note the
middle point between these two
spots as well. If you have more than
one center bracket spread these
evenly between the two end brackets
and center point.
If you have a spliced
rod, mark where that splice is as well
on the wall since you will need to add
the special splice bracket at that point
as well.
Measure 6” inward from the
marks you’ve made on both ends
and mark those spots. This is where
the end brackets will be installed.
Place center of bracket cover plate
level against wall at the marked spots.
Using a pencil, lightly draw a circle
around the base of the bracket onto
wall,
(see Figure A).
Check to make
sure the circles are level & aligned
with each other.
Remove back plate and center it
inside of the circle outline on wall.
Mark the screw hole locations for all
brackets
(see Figure B).
Attach the metal back plate to the
wall, aligning the holes in the plate
with the marks made in the previous
step
(see Figure B).
Be sure and
attach the plate to the wall with the
appropriate mounting hardware.
(It is always recommended to try
and attach to the wood studs inside
the wall. Where this is not possible
please use a wall anchor suitable to
carry the weight of your hardware
selection as well as your draperies
and any accessories.)
Place bracket cover plate on top of
back plate and thread on the post.
Make sure to screw on the post very
tightly. Do not leave any play or
wiggle room.
