Here are some helpful tips:
If you are using a special fastener, make sure it is designed to
support the weight of the shade. Follow the fastener
manufacturer's instructions carefully.
When drilling into drywall or plaster, use a fastener
designed for hollow wall applications (see illustration).
When drilling into concrete, stone, brick, or tile, use
appropriate plugs, anchors, or screws (not included).
When drilling into metal, the included screws are sufficient,
but it is best to pre-drill the holes.
