· Compensates for non-level or uneven mounting surfaces.

· Each shim adds 1/16”— use up to four per bracket to adjust up to 1/4”.

· Works for inside mounts, outside mounts and ceiling mounts.

· Ensures level mounting of the SofTrak™ rod, with no bowing or bending.

· Snap off the top for ceiling mount brackets, or leave the shim intact for spacer block/faceplate combinations.

· Mounting bracket does not have to be removed to use the shim—just loosen the screws and insert the shim.

· Shims will now be included with the mounting hardware for every Luminette sheer.

Always Ensure the most accurate and professional installation of 
Luminette Privacy Sheers every time by keeping these steps in mind:

	With outside mounts, allow 1/2’ floor clearance. Add 1/4” to the ordered height and position the top of the fabric that distance from the floor. (The top of the fabric will be even with the tops of the spacer blocks, or 3/8” under the extension brackets.)
	Be sure inside mounts clear obstructions. Position the mounting brackets so that nothing impedes traversing or vane rotation. Replace window cranks with T-cranks.
Be sure the SofTrak™ rod is mounted on the level. Use the new Luminette shim to compensate for places where the surface is uneven.
Position the SofTrak rod correctly. With split stack designs, simply center the rod in or over the window opening. With side stack designs, remember that the required clearance is 1/4” on the active end (stacking side) and 3/4’ on the passive end. Thus, the rod should be offset from the center 1/4” toward the stacking side.
Straighten the end treatments. Reposition the swivel plates, if necessary. Raise the swivel plate to move the bottom of the end treatment in, or lower it to move the bottom out.
“Dress” the installation. Steam the sheer from the backside of the fabric. Steam from the top down, moving the steamer head in short vertical strokes.
