Mounting Types and Window Terminology

If the installation brackets are mounted correctly, the rest of the installation process follows easily. To prepare for this important ﬁrst step, review the mounting types and basic window terminology illustrated below.

■ For proper operation, the fabric must clear all obstructions, including window cranks,

handles, and moldings.

➤ Replace protruding window cranks with T-cranks, as needed.

■ Refer to the appropriate page below based on your order:

➤ Inside/Ceiling Mount — Page 4

➤ Outside Mount — Page 7

Collectively, the sill and

jambs are called the “window casement.”

INSTALLATION

Mount the Installation Brackets — Inside/Ceiling Mount

If you are mounting on corner or bay windows, refer to “Bracket Locations — Corner and Bay Windows” on page 11 for speciﬁc bracket locations. Return to this page after identifying the bracket locations.

■ Your order will include the appropriate number of inside/ceiling mount installation brackets.

The number of installation brackets required varies with headrail width, as shown below.

Measure and Mark Bracket Locations

■ Mark 5" from each jamb on the mounting surface.

➤ If more than two installation brackets are required (see table above), mark the locations

of additional bracket(s) spaced evenly between the two end brackets.

CAUTION: Installation brackets should be fastened into wood whenever possible. Use drywall anchors when mounting into drywall. When attaching brackets into drywall, additional brackets may be required to keep the headrail level after the fabric is attached.

INSTALLATION

■ Mark where to drill holes for the screws.

IMPORTANT: The front edges of the brackets must align to each other.

➤ Align the outside edge of the end

brackets on your marks, then mark each of the screw holes. Center additional brackets on the marks to mark their screw holes.

➤ The minimum mounting depth required is 1".

➤ To fully recess the fabric in the window casement, the mounting depth required is 6

/4".

INSTALLATION

Mount the Brackets

■ Drill the screw holes using a 3/32" drill bit.

CAUTION: Use drywall anchors when mounting into drywall.

■ Attach the installation brackets using the screws provided.

IMPORTANT: For proper operation, the headrail must be mounted level. Use a laser level to check that the installation brackets are level and aligned. Shim the brackets if necessary. The brackets may also need to be shimmed if the mounting surface is heavily textured.

To Shim the Brackets:

■ Snap off the top of the shim for use with inside/ceiling mount

brackets.

■ Use the shims, as needed, between the mounting

surface and the inside/ceiling mount brackets. Use a laser level as reference.

■ To make further adjustments, you may add

or remove shims by loosening the installation bracket screws.

Proceed to “Install the SofTrak™ Headrail” on page 12.

INSTALLATION

Mount the Installation Brackets — Outside Mount

■ Your order will include the appropriate number of installation bracket assemblies. The

number of assemblies required varies with headrail width, as shown below.

IMPORTANT: The spacer blocks have tabs that prevent the brackets from being mounted too close to the ceiling. If the sheer will not be mounted at ceiling level, the tabs can be removed.

Adding Clearance

■ Use spacer blocks to add additional clearance. Spacer blocks add clearance in 1/

increments

➤ One spacer block is used with the faceplate for standard installation. Three additional

spacer blocks may be added for an extra 1

/2" clearance.

■ Use optional extension brackets to add more clearance.

➤ Extension brackets can provide up to 3

/2" clearance.

➤ Indentations are stamped into the extension brackets between each set of holes. Using

the indentations as a guide, you may cut off any unneeded length before mounting the extension brackets. Each two-hole section is

/2" in length.

INSTALLATION

Measure and Mark Bracket Locations

■ Position the SofTrak

™

headrail over the window or door opening at the ordered height, found

on the headrail label. Use a pencil to lightly mark each end of the headrail.

➤ Alternatively, measure the width of the headrail and use that width to mark the headrail

end points over the opening.

IMPORTANT: Typically, split stack designs are centered over the opening. However, side stack designs may be offset to one side if the fabric was intended to stack partially or completely off the window or door opening. The intended stackback must be taken into account when marking the headrail end points.

■ Mark 5" from each end of the headrail.

➤ If more than two installation brackets are required (see table on previous page), mark the

locations of additional bracket(s) spaced evenly between the two end brackets.

■ Mark the bracket mounting height to allow proper ﬂoor clearance for the fabric when

attached to the headrail. This method provides a minimum of

/2" ﬂoor clearance.

➤ Locate the ordered height on the headrail label.

➤ Spacer Blocks: Measure the ordered height

minus

/4" from the ﬂoor surface. Mark this

height at each bracket location.

➤ Extension Brackets: Measure the ordered

height plus

/4" from the ﬂoor surface. Mark

this height at each bracket location.

IMPORTANT: Mount the screws at the height indicated, or higher for additional ﬂoor clearance. Be sure to clear all ﬂoor obstructions such as carpet, vents, rugs, etc.
