Setup and Installation
The cellular shades are designed for self-installation. All necessary mounting kits and instructions are included in the package. For a smooth installation process, it is crucial to accurately measure your skylight window frame.
Measurement Guidelines:
- Internal Installation: The blind is typically installed inside the skylight frame. A minimum depth of 2 inches (1 3/8" shown in diagram) is required for proper fit.
- Custom Sizing: Ensure net size measurement is as precise as possible. The manufacturer will reduce the size by 0.1" in both width and length to prevent installation interference.
- L-shape Bracket: Special L-shape brackets are available for over-the-frame mounting if internal installation is not feasible.

Assembly Steps:
- Lay the upper and lower frames with fabric on a flat surface and unfold the fabric. Place the side frames on both sides.
- Fix the upper/lower frames with the side frames using the provided assembly screws.
- Increase the thread tension by moving the two sliders towards each other if the shade cannot be closed completely.
- Mount the side rails to the window by tightening 2 screws on each side.
