Included in your order is all the hardware necessary for a normal
installation. Depending on the mounting surface, fasteners
other than the screws provided may be required. Wallboard
and plaster require the use of anchors such as expansion or
toggle bolts. Bricks, tile or stone need special plugs and drill
bits. Wood should always be pre-drilled to avoid splitting.
Professional installation is also available in most areas, call
800-800-3329.
If you ordered an outside mount window covering with your
outside mount cornice box, install the blind first. Once the blind
is installed you may want remove it from the brackets and set
it aside while installing the cornice box.
Each bracket must firmly support the weight of the cornice.
Mounting into wood studs is preferred. When this is not possible
(e.g. mounting into sheetrock without wood studs, mounting
into material such as stone or brick), alternative hardware (not
included) should be used.
• Hold the cornice up to the desired mounting position. The
top of the cornice’s dust cover must be at least 2
