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.
■Refer to the appropriate page below based on your order:
➤Inside Mount — No Valance on page 4.
➤Inside Mount — with Optional Valance on page 5.
➤Outside Mount — No Valance on page 6.
➤Outside Mount — with Optional Valance on page 8.
Outside Mount (OB)
Shade mounts outside
window opening.
Inside Mount (IB)
Shade fits within

Collectively, the sill and

■On the front of the head jamb, use a pencil to lightly mark 7" in from each jamb. (This
distance is necessary on the cordlock side to clear the cordlock assembly.) If three
installation brackets came with your order, make an additional center mark between the two
end marks. Shift this middle bracket off-center if necessary to avoid interference with the
center cord guide.
■Center an installation bracket on each mark. Then mark where to drill pilot holes for the
mounting screws. Use the following mounting depth guidelines when positioning the
installation brackets:
➤Minimum mounting depth for bracket attachment is 7
/8".
➤Minimum mounting depth for a fully recessed installation is 1½". (An approximate depth
of 4" is required to fully recess the folds of a completely lowered Hobble shade.)
Important: The front edges of the installation brackets must align after mounting.
■Drill pilot holes for the mounting screws. Use a 1
/8" drill bit.
➤Mount into studs whenever possible.
➤If drilling into drywall, use wall anchors. Follow the
instructions provided with the wall anchors.
■Fasten the installation brackets to the mounting surface. Use
the flat head screws provided with your order.
■The front edges of the installation brackets must be aligned
and level.
Proceed to Install the Shade on page 10.

Inside Mount — with Optional Valance
With the optional valance, the valance headboard is mounted inside the casement and then the
installation brackets are mounted to the valance headboard.
■Locate the valance headboard inside the window casement. Position the headboard against
the head jamb.
➤The headboard must be recessed into
the window opening at least 1¾" for
secure attachment.
➤To fully recess the valance, a minimum
depth of 37
/8" is required.
➤The hook-and-loop material faces
front and the staples on the headboard
face down.
■Drill 1/8" pilot holes for the valance headboard
mounting screws. Drill the holes all the way
through the fabric and headboard into the
head jamb.
➤Starting 2" from each end, space the pilot
holes no more than 12" apart. Locate the
holes 11
/8" from the back of the headboard
so the screws do not interfere with shade
installation.
➤Mount into studs whenever possible.
➤If drilling into drywall, use wall anchors. Follow the instructions provided with the wall
anchors.
■Attach the valance headboard to the head jamb. Use the 2" hex head screws.
■Mount the installation brackets to the valance headboard. Follow the "Inside Mount — No
Valance" on page 4, with the valance headboard taking the place of the head jamb.
Take the following into consideration:
➤If necessary, adjust bracket spacing to avoid the valance headboard mounting screws.
➤Typically, the back of the installation brackets should align with the back of the
headboard.

■Center the headrail above the window opening at the desired height. Use a pencil to lightly
mark where its ends are located.
➤Alternatively, measure the width of the headrail and use this measurement to determine
where the ends of the headrail will be located.
■Use a pencil to lightly mark 7" in from each headrail end location. (This distance is
necessary on the cordlock side to clear the cordlock assembly.) If three installation brackets
came with your order, make an additional center mark between the two end marks. Shift
this middle bracket off-center if necessary to avoid interference with the center cord guide.
■Center an installation bracket on each mark. Then mark where to drill pilot holes for the
mounting screws.
➤The top of the installation brackets should be ¼" above the height where you want the
top of the headrail to be located.
➤If using extension brackets, center an extension bracket on each mark to determine
where to drill pilot holes.
Important: Extension brackets cannot be used if an optional valance was ordered
with the shade.
➤The rear of the installation brackets or extension brackets must be flush against a flat
mounting surface. Do not mount brackets on curved molding.
Important: The tops of the brackets must align level after mounting.

■Drill pilot holes for the mounting screws. Use a 1 /8" drill bit.
➤Mount into studs whenever possible.
➤If drilling into drywall, use wall anchors. Follow the
instructions provided with the wall anchors.
■Fasten the installation brackets or extension brackets to the
mounting surface. Use the screws provided with your order.
➤Use 15
/8" flat head screws for the installation brackets.
➤Use 11
/2" hex head screws for the extension brackets.
■Check alignment. The tops of all brackets must be aligned and level.
■If using extension brackets, fasten the installation
brackets to the extension brackets. Attach the
installation brackets to the underside of the extension
brackets using the provided ½" flat head screws and
speed nuts. Due to the weight of the shade,
a maximum projection of 1" is recommended.
Important: The front edges of the installation
brackets must be aligned and level.
Proceed to Install the Shade on page 10.

Outside Mount — with Optional Valance
With the optional valance, the valance headboard is mounted and then the installation brackets
are mounted to the wall or molding under the valance headboard.
■Mark where the ends of the valance headboard will be located. Center the headboard above
the window opening at the desired height. Use a pencil to lightly mark where its ends are
located.
➤Alternatively, measure the width of the valance headboard and use this measurement to
determine where the ends of the headboard will be located.
■Mark L-bracket locations. Use a pencil
to lightly mark 3" in from each valance
headboard end location. If more than two
L-brackets came with your order, make
additional marks to space the other
bracket(s) evenly between the two end
brackets.
■Mark screw locations. Center an L-bracket on each mark. Then mark where to drill pilot
holes for the mounting screws.
➤The top of the L-brackets should be 1" below the height where you want the top of the
valance to be located.
➤The rear of the L-brackets must be flush against a flat mounting surface. Do not mount
L-brackets on curved molding.
Important: The tops of the L-brackets must align level after mounting.
■Drill 1
/8"pilot holes for the L-bracket mounting screws.
➤Mount into studs whenever possible.
➤If drilling into drywall, use wall anchors. Follow the instructions provided with the wall
anchors.
■Fasten the L-brackets to the mounting surface. Use the 1½"
hex head screws provided with your order.
