A cord lift system is a window treatment that is operated by cords.The most common type of cord lift system is the standard pull cord, which is a sturdy cord that hangs straight along the side of the product.Cord lift systems are recommended for wide windows and heavy treatments, but they can be a safety hazard and should be avoided if there are pets or children in the home.

Bracket Size
Check bracket size to ensure a smooth installation.
- For an inside mount, ensure you have enough window depth, at least 2 inches.
- For an outside mount, Add 3-6 inches to the window frame width and 8-10 inches to the window frame height.
Two Mount Types
Inside Mount
•A clean, built-in look, 1 1/2 inches minimum depth requirement.
•3/8 inch headrail deduction taken at your actual measuring to ensure the side does not touch the edges tightly.
•Order width = Window casing width minus 3/8 inch. Note there will be slight gaps on the sides due to fabric deductions.
Outside Mount
•A taller appearance. Outside window frame.
•No minimum depth requirement. We recommend ordering additional width 4-6 inches to prevent light gaps on the sides of your window.
•Measure height to be covered from top to desired length. 2 inches overlap on each side of window is recommended for optimum light control and privacy.
