Natural
Shades
Color, Materials and Characteristics:
Your woven natural shade is made with materials harvested from nature.
Each harvest of natural fibers is unique and will have variations in color,
grain, texture, striations and warping. As a result of these inherent quali-
ties, no two shades are identical, nor can they be. Over time, exposure to
light will soften and slightly darken the color of the shade. Small cracks in
bamboo slats are natural and unavoidable.
Shade Length
Due to the inherent attributes of the materials used to make Natural Shades,
shrinkage, stretching and some warping are frequently occurring character-
istics.
Too short? Gently pull down on the bottom of the shade when it is com-
pletely lowered.
Over time Natural Shades may stretch. This is normal.

For Outside Mounting:
Place a bracket on both ends of the head rail (and one or more in the
middle of the rail for larger shades).
Hold the shade level at the height desired and center it over the

For Inside Mounting:
Place a bracket on both ends of the head rail. (and one or more in
the middle of the rail for larger shades).
Hold the shade in place and make a pencil mark at the rear of each
bracket where it contacts the inside of the window frame. Remove
the brackets from the head rail and align them with the marks. Attach
each bracket using the 11 /8” screws.
Step 3. Securing the Head Rail
Lift the head rail into position – place a washer and wing nut on the
post of each bracket – tighten by hand.
Step 4. Install Valance Returns (for Outside Mount shades only)
Attach the returns using the pre-applied velcro as illustrated.
Step 5. How to Operate
To lower shade: move cord to the left while pulling down gently until
cord lock releases – allow cord to slip through fingers until shade
reaches desired level – move pull cord to the right and release
– shade will lock automatically. To raise blind: pull cord downward
slowly until shade reaches desired height – release cord and
shade locks automatically. Make sure the cord stops are properly
positioned – see step 7 below:

Step 6. Adjust Safety Cord Stops
Warning
REDUCE RISK OF STRANGULATION TO INFANTS AND TODDLERS.
POSITION SAFETY CORD STOPS BEFORE USING BLINDS.
Lower shades to maximum desired length and lock into place.
Measure the distance from head rail to cord stops. If cord stops are
1 to 6" below the head rail, no further adjustment is needed. If not,
loosen but do not untie the knot surrounding the cord stop. Move
the cord stop as close to the head rail as possible and tighten knot
by pulling firmly on tassel. Repeat process for each lift cord.
Cord Cleat:
The cord cleat is traditionally associated with natural woven shades,
it is included for optional use. Its use is recommended to help keep
cords out of the reach of children and pets.
CLEANING YOUR SHADES
Use a feather duster or vacuum using the soft brush attachment.

Step 2. Bracket Location and Installation
A mounting bracket should be positioned about 1” to 4” from each
end of the head rail. The other bracket(s) should be spaced evenly
between the two outermost brackets.
Outside Mount:
Attach the clips to the brackets as illustrated using the nuts and
bolts. Position the clips in the center of the bracket slots (this can
be adjusted later as desired). Attach the clips and brackets to the
head rail as described below.
Ordered length is measured from the top of the head rail to the
bottom of the panels.
For floor length blinds allow at least 1” for floor clearance and for
slight stretching of the Natural Woven Panels as time passes.

steel tape measure to assure accuracy. Make two or more pencil
marks at desired height. Hold the rail level using the pencil marks
for alignment. Mark the exact location for each bracket with the
pencil. Remove the brackets from the head rail and position the
top of each bracket at the marked location and screw each bracket
into the wall or window molding using the 1” screws or screws and
anchors.
Inside Mount:
Use mounting clips only (the L extension brackets are not required)
– install the clips using the 1” screws.
Step 3. Securing the Head Rail
The head rail snaps into the adjustable clips attached to the
mounting brackets. (See illustration) Lift the head rail into position
such that the back of the channel on top of the head rail fits onto
the back of each clip. Then push the rail upward so that the front
of each channel engages the tab at the front of each clip. Check
carefully to assure that each clip is properly secured.
Step 4. Install the Traverse Wand
Attach the wand to the track as shown.
Step 5. Attach the Panels
Move the wand fully to one side of the head rail so that all tracks are
accessible.

Starting with the track at the back of the head rail, attach each
panel to a track by sliding the oval eyelets at the top of each panel
onto the track hanger hooks (see illustration).
Step 6. Install the Valance
The brackets slide into the hem of the valance as illustrated.
Place one bracket at each end of each valance section. Space
the other brackets evenly between the outermost brackets. Make
sure that the valance brackets do not interfere with the installation
brackets of the blind – readjust the valance brackets as necessary
CLEANING YOUR SHADES
