Step 2. HANGING THE SHADE
No-Headrail
Once the brackets are secured and level, the fabric roll can be
inserted. Make sure your hands are clean to avoid soiling the fabric.
While facing the inside of the shade, be
sure the clutch and roller end plug are
inserted into the roller. Hold the shade with
the bottom of the clutch facing the floor, and
the beaded cord hanging straight down.
Insert the foot of the control-
side bracket into the slotted
center hole of the clutch. Set
nub of the end plug into the V
of the support bracket.
Rotate the T-hook on the
support bracket to engage
over the nub on the idler and
secure the fabric roll.

Headrail Removal
To remove the shading, partially lower the shading and insert a flat

disengages from the bracket.
Fully Recessed Inside Mount (Deluxe Bracket Only)
Outside Mount
Extension Brackets(optional for headrail shades)
Optional Extension Brackets are used to project the back of the
shading up to 2 1/2" from the mounting surface. Attach the Ultra
Sleek or Deluxe Mounting Bracket to the Extension Bracket with the
nut and bolt provided.
Side Mount (optional for headrail shades)
Measure from window sill up to desired mounting position on each
side of the window frame. Mark position. Mount Side Mount
Brackets on each side of window frame as shown. Make sure to
confirm that headrail will sit perfectly level. Once Side Mount
Brackets are installed and properly positioned, attach the Ultra Sleek
or Deluxe Mounting Brackets using the nuts and bolts provided.
BASICS
Please take a moment to identify which headrail version you have and then follow
the appropriate instructions.
A few simple tools are required:
- Measuring tape
- Carpenters Level
- Power drill or Phillips head Screwdriver
- ¼" Hex head and/or Phillips driver bit
Additional fasteners other than those sent with your shading may be
required depending on the mounting surface. Wallboard and plaster
require the use of anchors such as expansion or toggle bolts. Brick,
tile or stone need special plugs and drill bits. Remember to always
pre-drill holes in wood to avoid splitting.
Step 1. BRACKET INSTALLATION
Inside Mount
Hold Down Bracket
and screw
(optional)
If the headrail does not sit level, the fabric will not roll up
evenly which could damage the edges of the shading
fabric. Use shims if necessary to level brackets.
Low light gap wedges can be used to
reduce the top light gap when the shade is
mounted fully recessed. The wedge is
placed between the mounting surface and
the bracket with the tabs on the wedge
facing down and the thick end of the
wedge toward the back of the bracket.

Step 4. CHILD SAFETY
The American National Standard for Safety of Corded Window
Covering Products (ANSI) requires the use of a cord tie down (cord
tensioner) on all continuous loop cord systems. The use of such a
device is intended to significantly reduce the occurrence of infant or
small child strangulation injuries or deaths resulting from the looped
pull cords on various window treatment products.
Cord Tensioner Installation
Your window shade has arrived with the cord
tensioner positioned near the head rail to
comply with current WCMA child safety
standards. The cord tensioner must be
mounted and secured before the window
shade will operate correctly. To position the
tensioner, grasp the screw hole and pull
down to release the lock. Pull the cord
through the tensioner until the tensioner is at
the bottom of the cord loop.
Follow the instructions included in the
Tensioner Bracket Packet.
Step 5. HOLD DOWN INSTALLATION (optional)
Use the pin on the hold down bracket to punch out the front hole on
the bottom rail end cap. Mount the hold down to the side or back of
the window frame so that the pin lines up with the front hole in the
bottom rail end cap with the
shade fully lowered and fully
open. Lower the shading and
flex the hold down bracket
outward so that the pin can be
inserted into the hole in the
end cap.
CLEANING AND CARE
The soft and delicate feel of Sheer Horizontal Window Shadings
belies the durability of the material. Sheer Horizontal Window
Shadings are made of sturdy, knitted polyester fabrics and may be
feather dusted or vacuumed at a low suction setting. Spots or stains
can be rubbed clean with a damp sponge and mild soap. To avoid
discoloration of the material, we recommend against the use of
chemical cleaners. If necessary the shading may be ultrasonically
cleaned by a professional.
All knitted fabrics experience weave variations due to heat, humidity
and other room conditions. These variations can result in slight
bowing, puckering and dimpling of the Sheer Horizontal material.
The possible variations are minor and have been shown through
case study not to detract from the beauty of this product.
Step 3. OPERATION
Pulling down on the back cord will lower the shading. When the
window shading is completely lowered, pulling down on the back cord
will open the vanes. Continued pulling in this
direction will raise the fabric with the vanes in
the open position. The window shading
must only be raised a maximum of 24" in
this manner to avoid damaging the fabric.
Pulling down on the front cord will close the
vanes and then raise the shading.
Equalization Adjustment
If the fabric is moving to one side (or one side of the bottom rail is
higher than the other), slide the endcap from that higher side out of
the rail. There are two weights in the endcap already, and two empty
positions for new weights. Place a weight in one of the positions.
Replace the endcap and check the operation again. If the shade still
shifts, add the additional weight. If the shade still shifts, remove
weights from the other endcap for additional adjustment.
Sheer Horizontal Window Shadings represent a
design breakthrough in style, efficiency and
function. The unique fabric structure and hardware
system are designed to provide years of reliable
service when properly installed. Please take a few
minutes to read through these instructions
