Included in your order is all the hardware necessary for a normal
installation. Depending on the mounting surface, fasteners
other than the screws provided may be required. Wallboard
and plaster require the use of anchors such as expansion or
toggle bolts. Bricks, tile or stone need special plugs and drill
bits. Wood should always be pre-drilled to avoid splitting.
Professional installation is also available in most areas, call
800-800-3329.
If you ordered an outside mount window covering with your
outside mount cornice box, install the blind first. Once the blind
is installed you may want remove it from the brackets and set
it aside while installing the cornice box.
Each bracket must firmly support the weight of the cornice.
Mounting into wood studs is preferred. When this is not possible
(e.g. mounting into sheetrock without wood studs, mounting
into material such as stone or brick), alternative hardware (not
included) should be used.
• Hold the cornice up to the desired mounting position. The
top of the cornice’s dust cover must be at least 2 1/8" from the
top of the window casing. Mark the wall along the top of the
dust cover.

• Using a drill with a 1/16" drill bit or an awl make a small pilot
hole at each pencil mark. Mount each bracket using two of
the screws provided.
• Set the cornice on top of the mounting brackets in the desired
mounting position. Mark the underside of the dust cover
through the bottom of each bracket.
• Set the cornice back on top of the mounting brackets so
the holes through the dust cover are positioned over each
bracket. Insert a 5/8" bolt through the bracket and tighten it
down with the wing nuts provided.
• Remove the dust cover and use a 3/16" drill bit to drill a hole
through the dust cover at each pencil mark.

• Using the mark on the wall as your guide, place the top of
each mounting bracket 1/4" below the line. Brackets should
be equidistant from one another throughout the width of the
window opening. Ensure each bracket is aligned and level
and mark the wall through the hole in each bracket.

clEANING AND cARE
Caring for your wood Cornice Box is very easy. Periodic
vacuuming with a soft brush attachment is suggested. To dust
the Cornice Box, use a lamb’s wool duster or a soft clean cloth
to avoid scratching the finish. DO NOT sponge clean or use
abrasive household cleansers. Corrosive chemicals may stain
or damage the Cornice Box.
