If you don’t know how to install shades for window, please read the following guide. For more details, please contact us
Pre-Installation :
1.Check window obstructions (e.g., cranks/handles) that may interfere with installation.
2.Measurement tip: motorized blackout roller shades fabric runs ~1.06″ (2.69cm) narrower than the ordered valance width.
NOTE: Please measure the dimensions of the window; do not take any deductions for clearance; we will produce the blinds of the appropriate size for you.
Measure Width Top/Middle/Down:
Measure the width in 3 places. For width, use the smallest measurement.
Measure Height Left/Middle/Down:
Measure the height in 3 places. For height, use the longest measurement.
Order Width = Shortest Measurement Width = Whole Item Width
Order Height = Longest Measurement Height = Whole Item Height (Window depth ≥ 3″)
Measure Width To Be Coverd:
Measure width to be covered. We recommend adding 6 inches to the width you wish to cover for optimum light control and privacy.
Measure Height To Be Coverd :
We recommend adding 6 inches to the width you wish to cover for optimum light control and privacy.
Order Width = Measured Width + 6”=Whole Item Width
Order Height = Measured Height + 6” = Whole Item Height
Before commencing installation, carefully inspect the package to verify that all essential components (including screws and brackets) are included and correspond to your order specifications. This ensures an efficient and trouble-free assembly process.
Selecting the Optimal Mounting Location for Your pull down blinds blackout
Inside Mount (Recommended for a Clean, Built-in Look)
Outside Mount (Ideal for Shallow or Non-Recessed Windows)
If you opt for an inside mount and your window frame width allows, top mounting is the optimal choice
– Align the wall and shade brackets, ensuring the side caps are centered 4 inches (10 cm) from each bracket for optimal stability.
– Use a pencil to mark drilling points on the wall through the bracket holes.
1.Drill Pilot Holes
Using a power drill, create pilot holes at the marked screw locations.
2.Insert Expansion Sleeves
Gently tap the provided expansion sleeves into each drilled hole until flush with the wall.
3.Secure the Brackets
Align the brackets over the holes and insert the expansion bolts.
Tighten firmly with a screwdriver to ensure a rigid mount.
•Insert the front rebound part of the bracket into the shade valance
•Hook the rear end of the bracket into place
If you choose to install it outside and the space allows, top installation is the best choice. The operation steps are similar to top mount installation in inside installation.
Note: For inside installation, you need to determine the position of the brackets on the wall and the shade, while for outside installation, you need to determine the position of the two brackets above the window frame and the shade.
If you choose an outside mount but find that the space is insufficient for bracket installation, consider mounting it on the ceiling. The operation steps are similar to top mount installation in outside installation.
