Outside Mount (gure 1)
The standard bracket
is adjustable between
1/2" and 1-1/2" wall
clearance.
Find the height for
the top of the bracket
(as measured from the
oor) by adding 1/2" to
the blind height as pro-
vided on the headrail.
When installed, louvers
will clear the oor by 1/2".
Place the rst bracket directly over the corner of the
window with a max. of 30" between brackets. Adjust
the length of the bracket so that the louvers clear all
obstructions.

Place the first bracket directly over the corner of
the window with a maximum space of 30” between
brackets. Adjust the bracket so louvers clear all
obstructions.
Set mounting clips with a maximum space of 30”
apart from each other. Allow a minimum of 1/2”
clearance above sill or carpet.
Standard wall brackets
are adjustable and provide
1/2” and 1 1/2” wall
clearance.
Determine the height for
the top of the bracket
(measured from the floor) by
adding 1/2” to the blind
height including the head-
rail. When installed, lou-
vers will clear the floor
by 1/2”.
Use mounting clips to
secure headrail on ceiling
or inside mounts.
The center of the mount-
ing clip aligns with the
center of the louver carrier
stem. Position the screws
a minimum of 2 1/4” in
front of the window frame
