Mounting the Brackets
Place the panel on the left 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 . Repeat on the
other two sides .
Remove the panel from the rods and
then center the rods 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 since you will need to
add a bracket at that point as well .
Measure 2” inward from the marks
you’ve made on both ends and mark
those spots . This is where the brackets
will be installed .
Place brackets 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 .
Mounting the Brackets
Remove mounting 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 mounting 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 .)
If using plastic expansion anchors,
pre-drill holes using 3/16" drill bit . If
drilling directly into a stud or wood
trim, pre-drill holes with 3/32" drill bit.
Screw on the decorative portion of
the bracket to the mounting base
until it is tight and the open side of
bracket faces up to the ceiling . If the
cup does not end facing up, loosen
the base screw to adjust & tighten
back up . Repeat these steps for all
brackets
(See Figure C).
