BASICS
A few simple tools are required:
-Measuring tape
-Power drill, drill bits
-Hex head and/or Phillips driver bit
-Pencil
Additional fasteners other than those sent with your shade 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.
Roman shades are constructed as either an Inside Mount or an
Outside Mount. The Installation Bracket can be mounted inside
the window opening, for an inside mount, or on the molding or
wall above the window for an outside mount. The Extension
Bracket and the Hold Down Bracket are optional items
requested at the time of ordering the shade. The Extension
Bracket provides projection of the Installation Bracket in order
to clear obstructions. The Hold Down Bracket keeps the shade
from swaying and is often used for installation on door
windows.
BRACKET INSTALLATION
Shades are shipped with the required number of brackets for
proper installation. End brackets should be located with
centerlines 2 1/2” in from each end. Depending on the width of
the shade, additional brackets may be necessary evenly
spaced between the two end brackets.
Using the Installation Bracket as a template, measure and mark
the center lines. When mounting brackets, make sure they are
in line and level.
INSIDE MOUNT
The brackets are mounted flat against the top sill surface. The
flat head screw should be placed through the hole closest to the
front of the bracket. To fully recess the shade requires a flat
surface with a minimum depth of 1 3/4”. Shallow mounting
requires 3/4” minimum.
OUTSIDE MOUNT
The brackets are mounted with
two bugle head screws through
the back end of the bracket flat
against the window molding or
the wall above the window. The
bracket requires a minimum 3/4”
high.
HANGING THE SHADE
1. Hold the shade up near the brackets and insert the front clip
of the bracket into the front groove of the rail.
2. Make sure the shade is centered in the window opening.
3. Push the rail back and up until the back clips of the bracket
are inserted in the back groove of the rail.
To remove shade, reverse procedure.
EXTENSION
BRACKETS (Optional)
Optional Extension Brackets are used to project the back of the
shade up to 2 3/8” from the mounting surface. Attach the
Installation Bracket to the Extension Bracket with the nut and
bolt provided.

Roman Shades
Installation
Instructions
The Roman Shade’s unique hardware system is designed to
provide years of reliable service when properly installed.
Please take a few minutes to read through these instructions
before beginning.
CLEANING AND CARE
Roman shades are as easy to clean as they are to operate.
Roman fabrics are anti-static and actually repel dust.
Occasional vacuuming with a soft bristle attachment is all that
is needed. Also the use of a feather duster or dust buster at a
low setting will help keep your shades clean and fresh. Roman
shades may also be cleaned ultrasonically.
PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN
Be aware that it is possible for children to strangle
in window covering cords. To reduce the
occurrence of accident, all cords must be kept out
of the reach of children, including infants. Cord
cleats are an effective way to implement this
essential precaution.
Mount the cord cleat at a safe height, taking into
account furniture or other objects upon which a
child may climb. Then, after each use of the
shade, simply wrap the excess cord around the
cleat. It’s fast, easy and safe.
To protect your children, we are pleased to
provide cord cleats free of charge with every
shade that we manufacture.
CORDLOCK OPERATION
To raise or lock shade, pull the
cord down and outward toward
the outside of the shade.
To lower or release the shade,
pull the cord down and inward.
HOLD DOWN BRACKET (Optional)
Optional Hold Down Brackets are
mounted with the supplied screws.
With the shade at its proper drop,
place the pin of each Hold Down
into the hole in each End Cap and
mark the screw holes. Make sure
the pins are level and aligned.
Raise the shade, then screw the
Hold Down Bracket into the
mounting surface.
