Mounting Types and Window Terminology
If the installation brackets are mounted correctly, the rest of the installation process follows very
easily. To prepare for this important first step, review the mounting types and basic window
terminology illustrated below.
■For proper operation, the fabric must clear all obstructions, including window cranks,
handles, and moldings.
➤Replace protruding window cranks with T-cranks, as needed.
■Refer to the appropriate page below based on your order:
➤Inside/Ceiling Mount — Page 4
➤Outside Mount — Page 7
Collectively, the sill and
jambs are called the
“window casement.”

Measure and Mark Bracket Locations
■Position the SofTrak™headrail over the window or door opening at the ordered height, found
on the headrail label. Use a pencil to lightly mark each end of the headrail.
➤Alternatively, measure the width of the headrail and use that width to mark the headrail
end points over the opening.
Important: Typically, split stack designs are centered over the opening. However, side
stack designs may be offset to one side if the fabric was intended to stack partially or
completely off the window or door opening. The intended stackback must be taken into
account when marking the headrail end points.
■Mark 5" from each end of the headrail.
➤If more than two installation brackets are required (see table on previous page), mark the
locations of additional bracket(s) spaced evenly between the two end brackets.
CautIon: Installation brackets should be fastened into wood whenever possible.
Use drywall anchors when mounting into drywall. When attaching brackets into drywall,
additional brackets may be required to keep the headrail level.
■Mark the bracket mounting height to allow proper floor clearance for the fabric when
attached to the headrail. This method provides a minimum of
1
/ 2 ” floor clearance.
➤Locate the ordered height on the headrail label.
➤Spacer Blocks: Measure the
ordered height minus
1
/ 4 ” from
the floor surface. Mark this
height at each bracket location.
➤Extension Brackets: Measure
the ordered height plus
1
/ 4 ” from
the floor surface. Mark this
height at each bracket location.
(With XL brackets, measure and
mark the ordered height.)
Important: Mount the screws at the height indicated, or higher for additional floor
clearance. Be sure to clear all floor obstructions such as carpet, vents, rugs, etc.
