- 1). Measure and mark the wall on either side of the window where you intend to install the mounting brackets. Measure from both the upper and lateral borders of the frame to ensure that the marks on both sides of the window frame are the same height and distance from the sides of the window.
- 2). Position the left mounting bracket on the left side of the window. Pass the tip of a pencil through each screw hole on the bracket to mark screw hole positions on the wall. Repeat to mark screw hole positions for the right mounting bracket on the other side of the window.
- 3). Select a carbide-tipped mortar bit to drill holes of the appropriate size for your wall anchors. Install the bit in the drill. Drill horizontal holes through each screw-hole mark on the wall. Insert the tip of a wall anchor into the first hole. Manually push the anchor into the hole, as far as it will go. Use a mallet or hammer to tap the anchor into the screw hole, until it is flush with the wall. Repeat to install wall anchors in each screw hole.
- 4). Position the left mounting bracket on the left side of the window. Align the screw holes in the bracket with the holes in the wall anchors. Attach the mounting bracket to the anchors with screws and a screwdriver. Repeat to install the right-side mounting bracket.
- 5). Thread the upper casings of the drapery panels or sheers onto the inner rod that will be installed closest to the window. Hang the rod on the inner pins of the mounting brackets. Evenly distribute the curtain panels across the rod. Thread the drapery panels or valance onto the outer rod. Hang the outer rod onto the outer support pins of the mounting brackets. Evenly distribute the curtain panels or valance across the rod.
