Installing Roller Shades
That’s right, it couldn’t be much easier to install your custom EcoSmart roller shades! Here’s the general concept…
- You’ll attach two included metal brackets to the window frame (or your preferred mounting surface) with screws.
- You’ll snap the roller onto the brackets.
- You’ll snap the (optional) fascia in place over the roller.
Boom! Your roller shade is up! There are a couple of final touches. For chain operated shades, you’ll want to anchor the chain at the bottom and pinch a couple of ‘ballstops’ onto the chain (simple!) Otherwise, most everything is set up for you before your shade even ships out the door.
What about motorized roller shades? They install just like our manual roller shades! However, our motorized shades allow for some sweet optional features, so you might be able to just ‘plug and go’, or you might need to configure some things first (wifi hub, phone app, etc.) Either way, we’ll give you all the info you need to get things going ASAP!
