or

horizontal
blind
package
contains

the
blind
in
almost
any
position
on
the
window.
Unwrap
each
blind
and
set
it
against
its

it
was
made
to
fit
inside
the
window
frame
or
on
the
outside
of
the
casing.

Inside
Window
Frame
Installation
If
the
blind
was
ordered
as
an
“Inside
Mount,”
to
ensure
a
proper
fit,
the
factory
has
already
made
allowances
from
the
window
measurements.
Bracket
Installation
The
installation
brackets
are
designed
with
a
series
of
holes
to
allow
for
many
different
mounting
conditions.
Mount
both
left
and
right
brackets
in
the
upper
inside
corners
of
each
window.
Set
the
front
of
the
bracket
so
that
it
projects
1/4”
into
the
room
(in
front
of
the
drywall).
This
allowance
will
allow
the
valance
returns
to
fit
snuggly
against
the
drywall.
The
doors
of
the
installation
brackets
are
intended
to
open
from
the
front
and
swing
upward.
Outside
Window
Frame
(Wall
Mount)
Installations
If
the
blind
was
ordered
as
an
“Outside
Mount,”
the
factory
has
made
the
item
exactly
to
the
ordered
size.
Bracket
Installation
The
installation
brackets
are
designed
to
work
for
wall
mounting.
Use
a
minimum
of
two
screws
through
the
back
plate
of
each
bracket,
one
being
placed
in
an
upper
hole.
Make
sure
this
upper
screw
is
firmly
imbedded
into
the
wall
framing.
Basswood
and
Fauxwood
horizontal
blinds
tend
to
be
heavy
and
installation
brackets
require
secure
fastening.
Brackets
also
can
be
mounted
onto
trim
or
molding
around
the
windows.
If
you
are
installing
into
a
hollow
wall,
you’ll
need
to
purchase
the
appropriate
hollow
wall
anchors.
Seek
the
advice
of
an
expert
at
your
local
hardware
store.
Plan
to
center
the
outside
mount
blind
on
the
window,
allowing
equal
extension
beyond
the
window
edge
on
both
sides.
Brackets
should
be
placed
a
minimum
of
2
‐
1/2”
above
window
opening
for
Basswood
and
Fauxwood
horizontal
blinds.
Spacer
Blocks
If
the
blind
must
be
extended
from
the
wall,
due
to
window
cranks
or
other
objects
of
this
nature,
spacer
blocks
are
provided
(if
requested)
for
the
installation
and
center
support
brackets.
Center
Supports
If
the
blind
is
over
49
inches
wide,
center
supports
have
been
furnished.
Center
supports
are
to
be
spaced
at
no
more
than
30
inches
apart.
Install
center
supports
so
that
they
do
not
interfere
with
any
lift
cords
or
slat
ladders.
For
inside
mount,
the
back
plate
of
the
installation
brackets
should
be
mounted
at
the
distance
out,
from
the
back
of
the
window.
