INSIDE MOUNT
STEP 1
Center the Top Treatment horizontally and flush with the front of the window jamb. Locate the pre-drilled holes in the headrail and mark them. If the headrail is fabric-wrapped, an “Installation Here” label indicates the hole locations.
NOTE: Flat Valance shown
STEP 2
Using a 1⁄16" drill bit, sink pilot holes at marked locations.
STEP 3
Align the Top Treatment with the pilot holes. Secure to the window frame using #8 x 1-1/2" wood screws. Tighten the center screw first to allow for adjustment.
OUTSIDE MOUNT
STEP 1
Position the Top Treatment in the desired location, centered above the window. Make sure Top Treatment is level. Mark the wall along the bottom of the Top Treatment headrail where you will install the brackets with 24" between each bracket.
NOTE: Structured Valance shown
STEP 2
Starting at one side of the window, position the bracket so that the top of the bracket aligns with the bottom of the mark. Mark the locations of the bracket hole and sink pilot holes using a 1/16" bit.
NOTE: This Top Treatment example is being mounted over a Roller Style Shade. Brackets shown here.
STEP 3
Install using #8 x 1-1/2" wood screws and/or appropriate fasteners.
STEP 4
Install the remaining brackets, working from one side of the window to the other. Use a level to ensure each bracket is aligned with the first installed bracket.
NOTE: If installing a Roller or Roman shade under the Top Treatment, install shade onto brackets prior to moving on to step 5.
STEP 5
Place the Top Treatment on brackets, then use #6 x 5/8" wood screws to secure the headrail to the brackets.
