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.
Installation Components Needed
Check the packaging to be sure you have all the
components needed to install your blind.
IMPORTANT: For outside mount valance installations,
the short valance hanger, see “Optional Components”
on page 4, count will be the same as the headrail
installation brackets.
Required Components
■Installation Brackets:
➤EZ-On Installation Bracket. These installation brackets are
used for inside and ceiling mounts. They are also included with
the other two installation brackets shown below.
➤3½" L-Bracket with EZ-On Installation Bracket. These are
used as standard outside mount brackets.
➤Adjustable Bracket Assembly with EZ-On Installation
Bracket. These are used when the headrail needs to be further
from the wall than the distance the 31/2" L-Bracket can achieve.
■Short Valance Hanger. These are used with blinds that have a
valance and are in addition to the above mounting brackets.

Optional Components
■Leveling Valance Bracket. These are used to help support the
valance if the returns are not long enough to contact the wall.
■Outside Mount Deluxe L-Bracket without EZ-On Installation
Bracket. These are used with the 41/2" slider extension plate listed
below. This is a heavier bracket than the adjustable bracket assembly
with the EZ-On installation bracket and will allow you to move the
headrail even further from the wall.
■41/2" Slider Extension Plate. These are used with the outside
mount deluxe L-bracket and will allow you to move the headrail even
further from the wall. Attach an EZ-On installation bracket to this
bracket to attach the headrail.
■4" Heavy-Duty Wall Bracket. These are vertical space-saving
brackets that will also allow you to extend the headrail beyond the
standard distance from the wall. Attach an EZ-On installation bracket
to this bracket to attach the headrail.
■Mounting Shim. These wedges are used in pairs to level a headrail.
■Screw and Nut. These are used to attach the EZ-On installation brackets
and the slider extension plates to other installation brackets.
Tools and Fasteners Needed
■Flat blade and Phillips screwdriver
■Measuring tape and pencil
■Level (laser level is recommended)
■Power drill and drill bits (1∕4" hex driver also recommended)
In addition, you will need fasteners designed to work with your specific mounting surface(s).
■#8 Hex Head Screws (Provided). Two 2" screws are provided per
installation bracket.
■Longer #8 Hex Head Screws (Not Provided). Use #8 mounting
screws long enough for a secure attachment.
■Screws and Nuts (Provided). Extension plates come with screws
and nuts.

Inside or Ceiling Mount Installation
Measure and Mark Installation Bracket Location
■Mark installation bracket locations between 2" and 4" from each end of the headrail. Evenly
space intermediate installation brackets between end installation brackets at 24" to 30"
intervals.
IMPORTANT: If you do not have a mounting template, measure the depth and add 1⁄2"
clearance between the louver and the window (i.e. 21⁄2" for 3 5⁄8" louvers). Blinds having
widths greater than 120" will require additional brackets to support the stacked louvers.
Install Installation Brackets (and Assembled Valance)
IMPORTANT: The inside surface of the dust cover has three parallel grooves, use the center
groove to position drill holes.
■Drill pilot holes through the dust cover valance
at the installation bracket locations as marked.
■Turn the DualFold™Valance upright. Insert
the valance into the window opening with the
returns flush to the wall.
IMPORTANT: The returns may need to be
trimmed to the desired length.
■Hold the valance in position and drill through the valance into ceiling.
■Position an installation bracket at each hole and screw into place.
