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 screws.
2. Snap the headrail of the shade onto the brackets.

That’s it… your shade is up! Sure, there might be a detail or two after that. For corded shades, you’ll want to anchor the cord (easy peasy!) For cordless shades, you’ll snap a plastic handle or two onto the bottom rail. You get the idea… most everything is preconfigured for you right here in the factory, leaving you with only the final 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 it could be as simple as plugging in your shade and operating it right away, or you might need to set up a couple of things first (external battery, wifi bridge, 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!
