Use and Care Manual

MOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS:
Why Choose an Inside Mount?
Clean look: Allows for showcasing attractive window or
door molding.
THINGS TO CONSIDER:
n Deductions and Light Gaps: A small deduction in width and/or
length is taken to ensure proper operating clearance. This gap
may affect the treatment’s ability to darken a room.
n Obstructed Views: When fully opened, the stack (compressed
portion of the window treatment) will obstruct part of the view
from your window. Stack heights will vary by product.
n Architectural Obstacles: Obstacles such as handles and cranks
can interfere with the operation of the inside-mount treatments.
n Depth Considerations: Be sure your window meets the minimum
depth requirements for installation. Varies by product.
Why Choose an Outside Mount?
Improve Privacy and Light Control: Light gaps on the side of
window treatments can be substantially diminished or eliminated.
Fewer Installation Limitations: Ideal for covering non-square
windows or if you want an unobstructed view when fully opened.
Fewer Architectural Obstacles: Clears obstacles like handles
and cranks.
THINGS TO CONSIDER:
n Mounting Surface: Requires at least 2" of at surface above
window or door frame for mounting brackets. Projection
brackets can be ordered, if needed, to clear frame molding.
n Deductions: The manufacturer does not take deductions on
outside mount installations, so measure accurately.
