Installing Cellular Shades

Yup, we’ve made it as simple as possible to install your customized EcoSmart window shades. The basic idea is this…

1. Attach included metal brackets to the window frame (or your mounting surface of choice) with included screws.
2. Snap the headrail (top metal rail that holds the shade) into the brackets.

That’s it… your shade is up! Sure, there might be a detail or two after that. For cord loop shades, you’ll have to anchor the bottom of the cord using the included tensioner (easy peasy!) For cordless shades, you’ll slide plastic handles onto the operating rails. You get the idea… most everything is preconfigured for you right here in the factory, leaving you with only the final, simple touches.

Adding side tracks? No problem… they’re ‘peel and stick’! You’ll attach adhesive magnet strips to the sides of your window frame, and the side tracks stick to them with their own installed magnets. How awesome is that!

Ordering motorized shades? They install just like our corded and cordless shades do! Of course, our motorized shades have all kinds of cool options available, so once installed, it could be as simple as charging your shade and then operating it right away – or you might need to set up a couple of other things (wi-fi bridge or border router, phone app, etc.). Either way, we show you how!

>Need skylight shades? OK, there are a few more steps involved (see below), but we’ve got you covered with complete instructions!
