TIPS & TRICKS
EASY LIFT HONEYCOMB SHADES INSTALLATION GUIDE
Step One: Attach the Installation Brackets
Bracket Spacing

Bracket spacing is the same for both inside and outside mounts. Two installation brackets are positioned on the mounting surface so that their edges will be 1 1/2'' in from the ends of the shade. If more than two brackets are required (see chart), additional brackets are spaced evenly between the two end brackets. Measure and mark all bracket locations.

Note: Check to be sure that no installation brackets will be positioned directly above any of the tape spools located inside the headrail.


Inside Mount Applications

To inside mount a Continuous Cord Loop shade, attach the tops of the installation brackets to the top sill of the window opening. To attach the brackets, the flat surface of the sill must be at least 1 1/4'' deep. To fully recess the shade, the flat surface must be at least 2" deep. Add to these minimum depths the dimension of any obstruction to shade movement, such as a window crank or handle.

Two screws are used to attach each bracket. Mount the brackets at the locations you marked, with their front edges aligned.


Outside Mount Applications

Mount the ends of the installation brackets on a flat vertical surface 1" high. Two screws are used to attach each bracket. Mount the brackets at the locations you marked. Before tightening the screws, check to be sure the tops of the installation brackets are perfectly horizontal and aligned at the same height.

Spacer Blocks

Spacer blocks are used to project the installation brackets away from the mounting surface when additional shade clearance is needed. Each spacer block increases clearance by 1/2"; use a maximum of three per installation bracket. Check that your mounting screws are long enough to securely attach the installation bracket and the spacer blocks. The solid side of the blocks should face the mounting surface. As with all outside mount installations, make sure the tops of the installation brackets, are perfectly horizontal and aligned at the same height.

Extension Brackets

Extension brackets can project the installation brackets up to 2 1/2" away from the mounting surface. Position the brackets at the locations you marked and use two screws to attach them. Be sure the tops of the extension brackets are perfectly horizontal and aligned at the same height.

Connect the installation brackets with the machine screws and speed nuts which are included with each extension bracket. Be sure to use the same holes on all the extension brackets, so that each installation bracket projects the same distance from the mounting surface.

Indentations are cast into the extension brackets between the holes. Before mounting an extension bracket, any unneeded length may be cut off at one of the indentations.
