Installation Overview
■Two end brackets are used to mount horizontal blinds.
Wider blinds also require one or two intermediate brackets,
as shown in the tables below.
Spacer Blocks (Optional)
Spacer blocks are used when up to
3
/ 8 " additional clearance is needed.
■Attach a spacer block to each of the two
end brackets.
■If one or more intermediate brackets is
required (see chart above), attach a spacer
block to each intermediate bracket.
■If extension brackets will be used, it is not
necessary to attach spacer blocks.
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.

Mount the Installation Brackets — Inside Mount and Ceiling Mount
Attach End Brackets
With inside mounts or ceiling mounts, attach the two end brackets flush against the sides of the
window casement or to the ceiling. (See the outside mount section for positioning the brackets
for ceiling mounting.) Choose the most appropriate of the following mounting methods:
■Inside mount only: Mount the end brackets with one screw through a side hole and one
screw through a top hole, as shown below left.
■Inside mount only: Mount the end brackets with two screws through diagonal side holes.
■Inside mount or ceiling mount: Top mount the end brackets with screws through the two
top holes, as shown below right.
■Ceiling mount only: If the brackets are flush with the back wall, attach them with one
screw through a top hole and one through a rear hole.
■Use a
3
/ 32 " drill bit to drill holes for the mounting screws.
Important: Use drywall anchors when mounting into drywall.
■Attach the end brackets using the screws provided.
Important: The front edges of the brackets must be level and aligned to eachother.

Attach Intermediate Brackets (If Required)
■Evenly space the intermediate bracket(s) between the two end brackets. A minimum depth
of 1
1
/ 8 " is required for bracket attachment.
➤Adjust spacing if needed to avoid interference with internal headrail mechanisms.
■Attach the intermediate bracket(s) with two screws through diagonal top holes.
Important: The rear of the end brackets and intermediate bracket(s) must align.
Use Bracket Shims (If Required)
Bracket shims are used to gain clearance for valance clips with inside mounts and ceiling
mounts. Shims are included with your order (one for each end bracket and two for each
intermediate bracket).
■With each end bracket, first fold the shim and then position it on top of the bracket to gain
the required clearance.
■With each intermediate bracket, stack two unfolded shims.
note: Bracket shims may also be used whenever the mounting surface is uneven in order to
mount the blind level. The shims can be cut along their fold line to make them thinner.
Proceed to “Install the Blind” on page 10.

marks are where the outside edges of the end brackets
will be located.

➤Use a
3
/ 32 " drill bit to drill holes for the mounting screws.
