Mount the Installation Brackets — Inside or Ceiling Mount
Bracket Shims (Optional)
Bracket shims are used to gain clearance for valance
clips with inside or ceiling mounts. One shim for each
end bracket and two shims for each intermediate
bracket are included.
 With each end bracket, first fold the shim and then
position it on top of the end bracket to gain the
required clearance.
 With each intermediate bracket, stack two
unfolded shims.
NOTE: Bracket shims may also be used to level the
blind whenever the mounting surface is uneven.
The shims can be cut along their fold line to make
them fit.
Attach the End Brackets
With inside or ceiling mounts, attach the two end
brackets flush against the sides of the window casement or to the ceiling. Choose the most
appropriate of the following mounting methods:
 Inside mount only (Side/Top Mount): 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 (Side Mount): Mount the end brackets with two screws through
diagonal side holes.
 Inside or ceiling mount (Top Mount): Top mount the end brackets with screws through
the two top holes, as shown below right.
 Ceiling mount only: If the end brackets are flush with the back wall, attach them with
one screw through a top hole and one screw through a rear hole.
