|
| Step 1. Determining Mounting Method |
|
| Your roller shade is custom made using the finest
materials available. Each shade includes all necessary installation hardware
and has been checked for operation and alignment. The following instructions
are for the three most common installation types. |
|
Inside Mount
 |
Outside Mount
 |
|
|
| Step 2. Attach Brackets to Mounting Surface |
|
| Inside Mount |
| The roller shade, when mounted should not make contact with the top of the
window frame or any other obstruction when raised and lowered. Position the
mount brackets inside the window frame. The brackets need to be aligned and
level with one another. When the shade is installed it should move freely
between the brackets. |
|
 |
|
| Ceiling Mount |
| The roller shade, when mounted should not make contact with the top of the
ceiling or any other obstruction when raised and lowered. Position the mount
brackets on the ceiling. The brackets need to be aligned and level with one
another. When the shade is installed it should move freely between the
brackets, be sure to allow 1/8" of additional space between the brackets so the
mechanism will rotate freely. |
