Double Honeycomb Cellular Window Fashions represent a design breakthrough in style, efficiency and function. The Double Honeycomb Cellular structure and unique hardware system are designed to provide years of reliable service when properly installed. Please take a few minutes to read through these instructions before beginning. Complete installation instructions are included with every shade order
BASICS
A few simple tools are required:
- Measuring tape - Power drill, drill bits
- Hex head and/or Phillips driver bit - Pencil
Additional fasteners other than those sent with your shade may be required depending on the mounting surface. Wallboard and plaster require the use of anchors such as expansion or toggle bolts. Brick, tile or stone need special plugs and drill bits. Remember to always pre-drill holes in wood to avoid splitting.
Bugle Head or Dry Wall Screw
Center Hole is most commonly used for regular mounts.
Double Honeycomb Cellular shades are constructed as either an Inside Mount or an Outside Mount. The Installation Bracket can be mounted inside the window opening, for an inside mount, or on the molding or wall above the window for an outside mount.
For Shallow Mount using the Back Hole, you must use flat head screw provided. Use only if you have less than 3/4" of flat mounting surface.
BRACKET INSTALLATION
Shades are shipped with the required number of brackets for proper installation. End brackets should be located with centerlines 2 1/2" in from each
end. Depending on the width of the shade, additional brackets may be necessary evenly spaced between the two end brackets.
For shade widths of:
Use this number of brackets:
Up to 40"
2
40" - 72"
3
72" - 84"
4
84" and up
5
Using the Installation Bracket as a template, measure and mark the center lines. When mounting brackets, make sure they are in line and level.
INSIDE MOUNT The brackets are mounted flat against the top sill
surface. To fully recess the shade requires a flat surface with a minimum depth of 2". Shallow mounting requires 1/2" minimum depth.
OUTSIDE MOUNT
The brackets are mounted with the back end of the bracket flat against the window molding or the wall above the window. The bracket requires a minimum flat surface 3/4" high.
HANGING THE SHADE Unwind the cord from the shade but keep the rubber band around the stack.
Hold the shade up near the brackets and insert the front clip of the bracket into the front groove of the rail.(A)
Make sure the shade is centered in the window opening.
Push the rail back and up until the back clips of the bracket are inserted in the back groove of the rail.(B)
To remove shade, reverse procedure.
HOLD DOWN BRACKET (Optional)
Optional Hold Down Brackets are mounted with the supplied screws. With the shade at its proper drop, place the pin of each Hold Down into the hole in each End Cap and mark the screw holes. Make sure the pins are level and aligned. Raise the shade, then screw the Hold Down Bracket into the mounting surface.
CORDLOCK OPERATION To raise or lock shade, pull the cord down and inward toward the center of the shade, trying to stay as close to the shade as is convenient.
To lower or release the shade, pull the cord downward in the vertical position to release the lock.
PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN Be aware that it is possible for children to strangle in window covering cords. To reduce the occurrence of accident, all cords must be kept out of the reach of children, including infants. Cord cleats are an effective way to implement this essential precaution. Mount the cord cleat at a safe height, taking into account furniture or other objects upon which a child may climb. Then, after each use of the shade, simply wrap the excess cord around the cleat. It's fast, easy and safe. To protect your children, we are pleased to provide cord cleats free of charge with every shade that we manufacture.
CLEANING AND CARE The shade fabric is easy to care for. If you feel it is necessary you can feather dust or use vacuum cleaner brush. Most stains can be blotted with a damp sponge and mild detergent. For problem stains, the shade can be removed from the Installation brackets and soaked in warm water. When damp, raise shade tightly to re-crisp pleats. Before using anything stronger than mild detergent and lukewarm water, test an unobtrusive corner of the shade. If you have any questions, call us for advice.
