Mounting fasteners should be selected to suit mounting surface:

OUTSIDE/WALL MOUNT (WITHOUT VALENCE)
  • For standard and deluxe track (aluminum), mount "L" brackets
    not more than 3" from each end of track and not more than 30" apart over remaining length.
  • Adjust mounting clips to allow 1/2" clearance between louver and wall. Example - 2 1/4" for 3 1/2" louvers.
  • Track should be centered under mounting clips, insert track into short end of mounting clip and snap into place with rolling motion toward rear.


OUTSIDE/WALL MOUNT (WITH VALANCE)

  • Snap on valance hangers next to each "L" bracket.
  • Center valance on track and slide all the way into hanger.

INSIDE/CEILING MOUNT (WITH VALANCE)

  • Valance must be drilled and positioned between mounting clips and ceiling.
  • The top inside surface of the valance is scored with three parallel lines. On most installations, the center line should be aligned with the screw-hole line, hold in place, drill through valance and into ceiling.
  • Insert appropriate screw through the mounting clip tightening valance against ceiling. (Insert track in place as described.)

INSIDE/CEILING MOUNT (WITHOUT VALANCE)

  • Track should be centered under mounting clips, insert track into short end of mounting clip and

VALANCE ASSEMBLY
CLOSED CORNER

  • Cut fabric insert 1" longer than valance at each end.
  • Position fabric and wrap excess around ends.
  • Hold fabric into place with closed corner.
  • Cut fabric flush with end of return groover.
  • Repeat on returns, taping or stapling loose (wall) end of return.


OPEN CORNER

  • Cut fabric long enough to wrap around open corner and cover the entire valance return plus at least 1" excess.
  • Position open corner and valance returns.
  • Position fabric, wrap over open corner and return.
  • Trim excess fabric at wall end of valance return and secure with tape or staples.


ATTACHING LOUVERS

  • Turn louver hooks perpendicular to window or wall.
  • Push each louver into hook until it snaps into place.

 REMOVING LOUVERS

  • Gently open louver hook with finger and remove louver as shown.
