4.1. No-Drill Installation

This method is ideal for renters or those who prefer not to drill into their window frames.

1. Place the end of the shade with the no-drill device into the left side of the window frame.
2. If there is a gap between the top rail and the window frame, use a silicone pad to stick to the right side of the top rail.
3. Push the right side of the smart blind firmly into the window frame until it is secure.
4. After installation, ensure to fasten the non-drill device securely.

4.2. Measuring for Installation (Inside vs. Outside Mount)

Accurate measurements are crucial for a perfect fit. Determine whether you will be using an inside mount or an outside mount.

• Inside Mount: Shades width = window width - 1/4". Window depth should be at least 1.5".
• Outside Mount: Shades width ≥ window width + 4".

The adjustable height range of these shades is 0-72 inches. 72" high shades are suitable for windows within this height range.
