Installation Instructions
Thank you for purchasing your new Roman shade. With the
proper installation and care, it will provide you with many years
of beauty and trouble-free use. Please read all instructions
before you start so you will be familiar with the overall process.
Make sure you measure your window to ensure the shade will fit
properly before beginning.
There are two installation options:
 Inside mount—the shade is secured inside the window
opening with two or more screws, and hangs inside the
window opening.
 Outside mount—the shade is secured with L-brackets to the
molding or wall above the window opening.
Getting Started
Remove the Roman shade from the packaging. Keep the
packaging until you have successfully installed the shade. Do not
unfold the shade yet; it is easier to install a shade that is
securely folded.
