How to Install 2" Performance Wood Blinds

1. 1

   Check the headrail for the correct width. If you ordered several blinds, match each one to its window.

2. 2

   Keep the blind stacked as received until you finish the installation.

3. 3

   Find the screws and other installation parts in the hardware box.

• Every blind: 2 end brackets
• 54" wide or more: one or more center support brackets
• Slats 2 1/2" or wider: spacer blocks, installed behind the end brackets
• Cloth tapes (ladder tapes): bracket shims

1. 1

   Open each bracket by pressing on its latch. Brackets can go on either the left or the right.

2. 2

   Screw the brackets into the window frame through the holes on the inside of the bracket, using at least two screws per bracket. Horizontal screws hold best.

3. 3

   If your blind has cloth tapes, install a shim above each end bracket to give extra room between the top of the headrail and the window frame.

4. 4

   If your slats are 2 1/2" or wider, install a spacer block behind each end bracket to keep the blind away from the glass.

1. 1

   Measure the headrail and mark on the wall where its ends will be, centered on the window. Use the level to set the height.

2. 2

   Mark the end bracket positions 1/4" outside the headrail marks; these are the outside edges of the end brackets.

3. 3

   If your slats are 2 1/2" or wider, place a spacer block behind each end bracket to keep the blind away from the wall.

4. 4

   Screw the end brackets against the wall with the provided screws.

1. 1

   Space the center support brackets evenly along the headrail.

2. 2

   Inside mount: screw them to the window frame with the screws running vertically.

3. 3

   Outside mount: level them with the end brackets and screw them against the wall.

1. 1

   With the end brackets open, insert one end of the headrail, then the other.

2. 2

   Close each bracket latch until the locking tab clicks into place.

1. 1

   Insert each magnetic valance clip into the slot on the back of the wood valance and spread them evenly along the slot.

2. 2

   Turn the valance clips up and hang the valance from the top of the headrail.

The wand ships with its tip cover over the wire hook.

1. 1

   Pull the tip cover off the wand.

2. 2

   Slide the tip cover onto the wand tilter on the headrail.

3. 3

   Insert the wand's wire hook into the eyelet in the wand tilter.

4. 4

   Pull the cover down to secure the hook in place.

1. 1

   To raise or lower the blind, gently hold the center of the bottom rail and push up to lift it or pull down to lower it.

2. 2

   After installing, tilt the slats open, then raise and lower the blind several times so the cords and slats align themselves.
