MEASURING MARKING DISTANCE: Standard Shade Only
Center
The Marking Distance is from the center of the shade to each bracket. To calculate Marking Distance, you will
need to know the Bracket-to-Bracket Distance. The Bracket-to-Bracket Distance is the distance between the
outside edges of the brackets that hold the shade in place.
1. Determine the desired center of the shade opening and mark the center (g. A).
2. Calculate and write down your purchased shades Bracket-to-Bracket Distance:
For OUTSIDE Mount = Ordered width.
For INSIDE Mount = Ordered width minus ⁄".
3. Determine and write down your Marking Distance: The Marking Distance is from the center of the shade to
each bracket. To calculate Marking Distance, take your Bracket-to-Bracket Distance and divide by 2.
FOR EXAMPLE: An inside mount shade with ordered width of 96" would have a Bracket-to-Bracket
distance of (96" – ⁄ ") = 95 ⁄ " and a Marking Distance of (95 ⁄ " ÷ 2) = 47 ⁄ ".
4. Measure from the center point to each bracket end using the Marking Distance calculated and mark the
ends. Conrm the distance between both ends equals the Bracket-to-Bracket Distance of your shade. If
not, adjust end marks equally until it is.
