Mounting Types and Window Terminology

If the installation brackets are mounted correctly, the rest of the installation process follows very 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12 for speciﬁc bracket locations. Return to this page after identifying the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

■ Measure for the bracket locations.

➤ Mark 5" from each jamb on the mounting surface. These marks are for the outside edge

of the end installation brackets.

➤ 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.

Important: For the most reliable operation, the motor side bracket needs to be close (

/4" or less) to the motor.

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 be level and aligned to each other.

➤ Align the outside edge of the

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

➤ The minimum depth required

is 1" for the Classic 3

/2" vane size and 2" for the Quintette

43/4" vane size.

➤ To fully recess the fabric in the window casement, 6

/4" is needed for the Classic 31/2"

vane size, and 8

/4" is needed for the Quintette 43/4" vane size. See the illustration

below.

INSTALLATION

Mount the Brackets

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

Important: Use drywall anchors when mounting into drywall.

■ Attach the installation brackets using the

screwsprovided.

Important: For proper operation, the SofTrak

™

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13.

INSTALLATION

Mount the Installation Brackets — Outside Mount

■ Your order will include installation bracket assemblies speciﬁc to your vane size. 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 or drapery is not going to 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.

➤ Classic 3

/2" Vane Size: Requires one spacer block with faceplate for standard

installation. Three additional spacer blocks may be added for an extra 1

/2" clearance.

➤ Quintette 4

/4" Vane Size: Requires three spacer blocks with faceplate for standard

installation. One additional spacer block may be added for an extra

/2" clearance.

■ Use optional extension brackets to add more clearance.

➤ Classic 3

/2" Vane Size: Standard extension brackets

can provide up to 3

/2" clearance; XLextension

brackets can provide up to 5

/2" clearance.

➤ Quintette 4

/4" Vane Size: Standard extension

brackets can provide up to 2" clearance; XLextension brackets can provide up to 4" 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 1/4” 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. (With XL brackets, measure and mark the ordered height.)

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.

INSTALLATION

■ Mark where to drill holes for the installation screws.

➤ A minimum of 1

/8" ﬂat vertical surface is required for spacer block installation and

/8" ﬂat vertical surface is required for installation with extension brackets.

➤ Align the spacer blocks or extension brackets on your height marks.

➤ Align the outside edge of the end spacer blocks or extension brackets on your bracket

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

CautIon: The rear of the blocks/brackets must be ﬂush against a ﬂat mounting surface. Do not mount brackets oncurved molding.

Mount the Spacer Blocks or Extension Brackets

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

Important: Use drywall anchors when mounting into drywall.

■ Attach the spacer blocks or extension brackets using the

screws provided.

➤ For the spacer block installation, ﬁrst insert the square end

of the bushings into the slots in the spacer block. Insert the screws through bushings.

Important: With spacer blocks, place the screws in the middle of the slots to make aligning the brackets easier.
