How to Install LEVOLOR Plain Fold Roman Shades

1. 1

   If the shade is bound, leave the binding on until the shade is installed in the window.

2. 2

   Double-check the headrail width; if you're installing several shades, match each one to its window.

3. 3

   Check your mounting surface to make sure you have suitable fasteners and tools, including drywall anchors (not provided) for drywall.

4. 4

   Lay out and organize all the parts.

• Up to 38" wide: 2 brackets
• Over 38" to 68" wide: 3 brackets
• Over 68" to 82" wide: 4 brackets
• Over 82" to 106" wide: 5 brackets
• Over 106" to 130" wide: 6 brackets
• Over 130" wide: 7 brackets
• Longer screws may be needed with extension brackets and spacer blocks.

1. 1

   Make sure the bracket positions won't interfere with any components inside the headrail.

2. 2

   Check that the window casing is at least 1/2" deep for a partially recessed mount, or at least 2 1/8" deep for a flush (fully recessed) mount.

3. 3

   Mark the end bracket locations 1" to 2" in from each jamb.

4. 4

   Mark the drill holes through the longer, oblong holes on top of each bracket, 2 holes per bracket.

5. 5

   If you have more than two brackets, space the extra ones evenly between the end brackets, no more than 30" apart, and mark their holes.

6. 6

   Pre-drill the screw holes with a 1/16" bit (wood and metal surfaces only).

7. 7

   Hold each bracket with the side marked "Top" facing up, line up its oblong holes with the pilot holes, and fasten it with 2 screws.

8. 8

   Make sure all the brackets are square with each other.

The back of each bracket must sit flush against a flat surface; don't mount brackets on curved molding.

1. 1

   Center the headrail over the window opening at the height you want and lightly mark each end (or measure the headrail and mark its width over the opening).

2. 2

   Mark the end bracket locations about 1" to 2" in from each end of the headrail, leaving at least 1/4" between the bottom of the bracket and the top of the window molding.

3. 3

   Mark the screw locations through the larger, oblong rear holes of each bracket (or extension bracket), 2 screws per bracket.

4. 4

   If you have more than two brackets, space the extra ones evenly between the end brackets, no more than 30" apart.

5. 5

   Use a level to make sure all the bracket marks line up.

6. 6

   Pre-drill the screw holes with a 1/16" bit, and use drywall anchors in drywall.

7. 7

   If you're using a spacer block, stack it behind the bracket.

8. 8

   Hold each bracket with the side marked "Top" facing up and fasten it with 2 screws.

9. 9

   Check with a level that all the brackets are level.

1. 1

   Hang the curved front of the headrail on the front lip of the brackets.

2. 2

   Rotate the headrail back toward the window until it snaps into each bracket.

3. 3

   Make sure every bracket and the headrail are secure before operating the shade.

The tension device ships attached to the cord loop. The shade won't operate properly until it's installed.

1. 1

   Slide the tension device down to the bottom of the cord loop.

2. 2

   Attach it to the wall or window frame with the provided screws, keeping the cord loop taut but with enough slack for the cord to slide through easily.

3. 3

   In drywall or plaster, drill with a 3/16" bit and insert 1/2" wall anchors (not included) before the screws; in metal, use anchors suited to metal.

1. 1

   Hook the top of the valance over the top lip of the headrail.

2. 2

   Carefully press the valance down and back against the headrail until it clips into place.

1. 1

   Extension brackets: assemble an extension bracket onto each standard mounting bracket to clear obstructions on an outside mount.

2. 2

   Spacer blocks: place a spacer block behind the bracket on an outside mount for extra clearance, using longer screws (not provided) if needed.

3. 3

   Hold-down brackets: attach one to each side of the bottom rail to keep the shade from swaying, which is ideal on doors.

• Extension brackets give 1" to 3" of clearance between the headrail and the mounting surface.
• A spacer block adds 3/8" of clearance.

1. 1

   Pull one side of the cord loop to lower the shade to the height you want.

2. 2

   Pull the other side of the cord loop to raise it.

If the shade doesn't raise and lower evenly, the self-aligning Roman bar clips on the back may have shifted.

1. 1

   Lower the shade fully.

2. 2

   Find where the cords run through the top of the headrail behind the shade.

3. 3

   By hand, slide any Roman bar clips on the back of the shade that are out of line back into vertical alignment with the cord location.

1. 1

   Raise the shade fully and hold it firmly.

2. 2

   Push down on the bracket's spring tab with a flathead screwdriver and rotate the front of the headrail.

3. 3

   While pushing back on the headrail, rotate its front up and off the brackets, without forcing the spring tab past the back of the brackets.
