To remove standard shades, you generally need to release the headrail from its mounting brackets.
Removing standard shades involves a simple process of releasing the headrail from its securing brackets, often followed by unscrewing the brackets themselves. The specific method depends on the type of bracket used, but for many standard shades, the steps are straightforward.
Step-by-Step Guide to Removing Standard Shades
Based on common installation types, here is a typical method for removing standard shades:
- Locate the Brackets: Identify where the headrail of the shade is attached to the wall or window frame using mounting brackets.
- Apply Pressure: Using your thumbs, press evenly on each end of the headrail. This pressure should be applied specifically where the headrail meets the brackets.
- Tilt and Roll: Tilt the headrail away from the brackets. While maintaining the tilt, push forwards and downwards in a rolling motion until the shade comes free from the brackets.
- Optional Bracket Removal: Once the shade is detached, unscrew the brackets from the wall/window frame (if desired).
This process allows the shade to be safely disengaged from its mounting hardware without damaging the shade or the frame. Always handle the shade carefully once it is free.
