Mounting Types and Window Terminology
If the installation brackets are mounted correctly, the rest of the installation process follows
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.”

Mount the Installation Brackets — Outside Mount
If you are mounting on corner or bay windows, refer to “Bracket Locations — Corner and Bay
Windows” on page 11 for specific bracket locations. Return to this page after identifying the
bracket locations.
■Your order will include the appropriate number of installation bracket assemblies. The
number of assemblies required varies with headrail width, as shown below.
IMPORTANT: The spacer blocks have tabs that prevent the
brackets from being mounted too close to the ceiling. If the sheer
will not be mounted at ceiling level, the tabs can be removed.
Adding Clearance
■Use spacer blocks to add additional clearance. Spacer blocks add clearance in
1
/ 2 "
increments.
➤One spacer block is used with the faceplate for standard installation. Three additional
spacer blocks may be added for an extra 1
1
/ 2 " clearance.
■Use optional extension brackets to add more clearance.
➤Extension brackets can provide up to 3
1
/ 2 " clearance.
➤Indentations are stamped into the extension brackets between each set of holes. Using
the indentations as a guide, you may cut off any unneeded length before mounting the
extension brackets. Each two-hole section is
1
/ 2 " in length.

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 after the fabric is attached.
■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.
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.
