What's This?

Click Here To 
Install Vignette
® 

This is the new bracket you will soon be seeing for Vignette Modern Roman Shades.  While the installation process is still essentially the same, this bracket will make it easier to hear the "click" that tells you that your shade is installed securely — every time.  

The installation bracket for Vignette® Modern Roman Shades has been redesigned. The new design will make it easier to install Vignette shades. 

The most visible difference is the spacing tab on the back of the bracket. This provides the spacing needed to install Vignette with PowerRise® shades on an inside mount when the battery wand is used. The tab can be removed for standard shades or to be used as a shim to adjust bracket height or depth on uneven surfaces. 

You will also notice that the front lip of the bracket has been reduced in width. This makes it easier to install the headrail. On the previous bracket, the lip extended across the entire face of the bracket. If one or more of the brackets were installed with even a slight twist or if the front of the bracket was not perfectly level and parallel with the window opening, the wider lip could make it difficult to push the headrail back far enough to engage the locking mechanism. You will find it much easier to engage the new bracket, As before, as the headrail locks into place, listen for the click that tells you the shade is installed securely. 

When the battery wand is used for Vignette with PowerRise, additional depth is required. The  tab on the new bracket will ensure you have the required space.

 

The process of removing a Vignette shade has not been changed. Push up on the locking tab for each bracket with a flathead screwdriver. Then roll the headrail slightly forward and pull the shade straight out.



The redesigned bracket is a running change. You will soon see it on Vignette orders.
