The shades may be installed inside or outside the window opening, or mounted to the ceiling.

Traditional end mount brackets are used if the shade is ordered without the cassette.  These brackets come with a custom flag locking mechanism to ensure a sturdy hold on your shade.

Cassette mounting brackets are clips that attach to the top of the Cassette.
