EverythingYou Need


First, make sure you have all the parts and tools required to install your shades.

ALL THE HARDWARE YOU’LL NEED: Pencil, screw-driver, ¼” nut driver, level, and a drill with a 1⁄16” drill bit.

Then find wooden studs where you’ll want to attach the brackets; if you need to mount your shades to wallboard or plaster, use a secure fastener designed for hollow wall applications. For metal surfaces, pre-drill holes and use the included screws. For concrete, stone, brick, or tile surfaces, use a masonry drill and appropriate plugs, anchors, or screws.

It’s important when selecting a fastener to make sure it’s designed to support the weight of the shade . Follow the fastener manufacturer’s instruction from there on out .

Care & Cleaning /Safety

Care & Cleaning Use brush or dust head attachment . Occasional light vacuuming with a soft bristle attachment or gentle feather dusting is all that is required to keep your shades looking fresh and neat .

Safety First . Style Second To None™ . Great style should never come at the cost of safety . Every Smith & Noble window treatment conforms strictly to today’s safety standards, including permanent tie-down devices and built-in cord stops. To protect young children and pets, Loop Control works with a cord tensioner, which must be mounted to your window frame or wall . The shade or blind will not work if the cord tensioner is not mounted .

Child Safety

PROBLEM SOLUTION

The shade fabric does not roll up evenlyMake sure the mounting brackets are aligned and level with one another .

The shade will not raiseThe shade may be caught on an obstruction such as a window crank or latch; if this is the case feel free to untangle .

Skew Adjustment If the shade does not raise evenly, first make sure the mounting brackets are mounted level with each other .

If the shade is level and it still skews, operate the shade to the full down position . Prepare a strip of masking tape approximately 5” long. On the side of the shade opposite of the skewing direction, and as close to the end of the roller as possible, lift the fabric toward the back of the shade using your fingers and slide the tape with the sticky side facing the roller up as far as possible . The tape is to be running parallel to the roller .

Roll the shade up and check for skewing . If the shade is still skewing, add another strip of tape on top of the first one. If the shade is now skewing in the opposite direction, tear off about 1” of tape from the last strip installed . The tape is to be torn from the end closest to the center of the shade .

If these suggestions don’t work, then please give us a call or visit our website.
