Installation Instructions
Roman Shade with Valance
Roll Up Shade
Thank you for purchasing your Natural Woven Shade. It has
been custom-made from the highest quality materials to
the dimensions you specified. With proper installation and
care, it will provide you with many years of beauty and
trouble-free use.
Please read all instructions before you start so you will be
familiar with the overall process.
Getting Started
Remove the Natural Woven Shade from the packaging but
do not dispose of the packaging until the shade is installed
to your satisfaction.
As much as possible, leave the shade in its factory configura-
tion as it comes out of the box. However, for cord and pulley
or cord lock lifting systems, depending on the placement of
the cords, you may need to remove the T pins immediately to
avoid damaging the cords during installation.
Common Fasteners
(Not included)
Outside Mount
Hardware
Check to make sure you received the brackets and screws
shown in the diagram. Keep in mind that the brackets must
be securely attached to the wall or other mounting surface,
preferably by drilling the screws into wood studs. If studs
are not available, you will need to purchase special fasteners
designed for your situation (see illustration for examples of
common fasteners).
Tools
• Pencil
• Awl
• Tape measure
• Level
• Ladder or stepstool
• Motor tester (if shade
is motorized)
• Power drill with the following bits:
– ¹⁄16 " drill bit
– ¹⁄₈ "drill bit
– ¹⁄₄ " hex driver
– Standard screwdriver
– Phillips screwdriver
– Masonry drill bit (if drilling
into concrete or brick)

Inside Mount
Step 1: Separate and Identify All Components
The following components are included: Natural Woven Shade,
screws, and cord cleat (for cord and pulley or cord lock) or
chain holder (for chain and clutch).
Step 2: Mark the Shade Position
Center the shade inside the window frame at the required depth.
Using an awl, mark the location of the mounting holes through
the predrilled headrail holes.
Step 3: Attach the Shade
Use the ¹⁄16 " drill bit to drill pilot installation holes in the
window frame. Align the shade with the installation holes,
and use the screws provided to attach the shade to the
window frame. If you do not reach solid backing, use a
secure fastener (see diagram).
Step 4: Finish the Installation as Described
on Back Page
Molly Bolt Hollow Wall Anchor Anchor
Here are some helpful tips:
When drilling into drywall or plaster, use a fastener designed
for hollow wall applications.
When drilling into concrete, stone, brick, or tile, use appropriate
plugs, anchors, or screws.
When drilling into metal, the included screws are sufficient
but we recommend predrilling the holes.
When selecting your fastener, make sure it is designed to support
the weight of the product being installed. Follow the fastener
manufacturer’s instructions carefully.

Outside Mount
Step 1: Separate and Identify All Components
The following components are included: Natural Woven Shade,
Yankee brackets, screws, and cord cleat (for cord and pulley or
cord lock) or chain holder (for chain and clutch).
Step 2: Determine Shade and Bracket Locations
Remove the shade from the plastic packaging. Center the
shade over the opening at the desired height. Mark the lo-
cation of the shade headrail on the wall.
The shade is attached to the wall with the Yankee brackets
that are included. The headrail of the shade has slots
machined into it to accept the Yankee brackets. Measure
the location of the center of each slot on the headrail, and
mark these locations on the wall.
Use one of the Yankee brackets to mark the mounting loca-
tions. Align the bracket at each marked location, placing the
bottom of the horizontal piece of the Yankee bracket at the
same level as the top of the headrail. Mark the bracket mount-
ing hole locations on the wall, at least two per bracket, and
make sure that the brackets are level with each other.
Valance not shown for clarity
Step 5: Attach the Hardware Covers
Align the VELCRO® strips on the hardware covers with the
VELCRO strips attached to the ends of the shade headrail, and
press firmly.
Step 4: Attach the Natural Woven Shade to the Brackets
Remove the wing nuts and the washers from the brackets.
Position the shade so that the mounting slots are aligned
with the threaded studs from the brackets. Push the shade
up onto the studs as far as it will go. At one end, attach
the washer and then the wing nut to the stud. Repeat this
at the other end, and then at any other bracket locations.
The mounting slots allow for some horizontal adjustment,
so be sure the shade is centered over the window before
fully tightening the wing nuts.
Step 3: Attach the Brackets to the Wall
Drill ¹⁄16 " pilot holes at each bracket hole location. If you do
not reach solid backing, use a secure fastener (see diagram).
Attach the brackets to the wall using the hex head screws
provided or the appropriate fastener.
Wide Chain and Clutch or Motorized Shades
On shades equipped with chain and clutch or motorized lift-
ing systems, any Yankee brackets that are provided for center
supports have a shortened bolt to allow room for attaching
the wing nut without interfering with the lifting system. Use
the long bolts at the ends of the headrail, and use the short-
ened bolts for center supports.
Centered

To raise the shade, pull the cord straight down until the shade is
raised to the desired position. To lock the shade, pull the cord
past the outside edge of the shade and release. Wrap excess cord
around cleat.
Operating Your Cord Lock Shade
To lower the shade, pull the cord down and towards the center
of the shade to unlock. Hold the cord and release the downward
pressure on the cord to lower the shade to the desired position.
To lock the shade, simply pull the cord past the outside edge
of the shade and release.
Safety
Hanging cord or chain is a safety hazard for children or pets.
To prevent possible strangulation, be sure these finishing
steps are completed, and always wrap excess cord around
a cord cleat.
Step 6: Finish the Installation as Described Below
Finishing the Installation
Cord and Cleat or Cord Lock Lifting Systems
Attach the Cleat
Choose a location that aligns with the cord, and a height
that will be safe for children. Drill ¹⁄16 " pilot holes and attach
the cord cleat to the wall using the two color-matched
screws provided. If you do not reach solid backing, use
secure fasteners (not included).
Caring for Your Natural Woven Shade
Your Natural Woven Shade will provide you with years of beauty
and pleasure with minimal care and cleaning.
• Vacuum using a brush or dust head attachment.
• Dust lightly using a soft, clean cloth.
• Never immerse the shade in water or liquids of any type.
Troubleshooting
• The shade will not raise or lower.
Check the draw cords. Make sure they are not caught on
the mounting brackets or screws.
• When the draw cords are pulled, only one side of the shade
moves up or down.
Make sure the shade is not caught on an obstruction,
such as a part of the window sill, crank, or latch.
or
Check to determine if any of the draw cords have become
untied or knotted accidentally.

Chain and Clutch Lifting Systems
Attach the Chain Holder
The shade is shipped with the chain holder attached to the
chain. Hold the chain holder upright and position it so that
the chain is straight. Allow enough slack so that the bead
chain stops can rotate around the device easily.
Mark the location of the installation hole on the wall, and drill
a ¹⁄16 " starter hole. Using the screw provided, attach the chain
holder as shown. If you do not reach solid backing, use a
secure fastener (not included).
Motorized Lifting Systems
Test and Adjust the Motor
Attach the motor tester by connecting the color-coded leads
(instructions included separately). Lower and raise the shade
and check that it operates properly. Adjust the upper and lower
limits for the motor as needed (instructions included separately).
Have the wiring completed by a qualified electrician.
