Installation Overview
Installation of Vertiglide™shades varies based on the shade mounting type, stacking design, and
the valance type selected.
Mounting Types and Window Terminology
 Review the mounting types and basic window terminology illustrated below. Determine if
your shade is an outside mount or inside mount. For ceiling mount applications, refer to the
inside mount instructions.
Stacking Designs
 Determine which Vertiglide stacking design you are installing: left stack or right stack.
 If a sliding glass door opens from the right side, a left stack design is best. If the door opens
from the left side, a right stack design is best.
NOTE: A left stack design is shown throughout these instructions. Procedures for a right stack
design are the same but at opposite sides of the fabric stack and headrail.
Next Step

Mount the Installation Brackets
 Center the headrail over the window opening at the desired height. Use a pencil to mark
each end of the headrail. (On the stacking side, the end of the white gearbox counts as the
end of the headrail.)
 Alternatively, measure the width of the headrail and use that width to mark the headrail
end points.
 Mark end bracket locations 8" in from each end of the headrail.
 Mark the locations of any additional brackets, spaced evenly between the two end
brackets. Mount into wood whenever possible.
 Determine where to place the top of the installationbrackets.
 Add the desired floor clearance to the ordered
height of the shade. The ordered height can be
found on the packaging label. A minimum of
1
/ 2 "
floor clearance is recommended.
 Measure the total distance up from the floor. This is
where to place the top of the installation brackets.
 A minimum flat vertical surface of 1
1
/ 4 " is required
to mount the brackets.
CAUTION: The rear of the brackets must be flush
against a flat mounting surface. Do not mount
brackets oncurved molding.
 Center the brackets on your marks and mark the screw holes.
 When using extension brackets, mark two screw holes
per bracket.
