Four steps to assemble Guard
Step 1: Lay Out The Frames
1. Unpack all parts: Lay out the upper frame, lower frame, and side frames on a clean, flat surface.
2. Position the Upper and Lower Frames: Place the upper and lower frames parallel to each other on a horizontal surface.
3. Position the Fabric Frame: Place the fabric frame on the right side.
Step 2: Attach The Frame Connectors
Attach one frame connector onto one end of the frame with the fabric, then attach the other connector onto the other end.
Step 3: Connect The Frames
Connect all of the frames together by connecting the fabric and the side frame with the upper and lower frames.
Step 4: Tighten The Cords
Pull one slider down inside the frame and push the other slider up to tighten the cords securely.
Step 5: Insert the Screws
Put all 4 screws back in by inserting them through the holes of the connected frames. Ensure each screw passes through both frames to secure the connection, then tighten them securely to maintain a stable structure.
Four steps to install Guard
Step 1: Split The Foam Tape
Split the provided foam tape into two equal parts.
Step 2: Remove The Backing From The Foam Tape
Peel off the protective backing from the foam tape to expose the sticky side.
Step 3: Apply the Foam Tape
Apply the foam tape to all 4 sides of your Guard. Ensure all sides are properly covered without any gaps.
Step 4: Insert and Test Guard
Place the blinds inside of your window recess. Test the blinds by pulling the fabric frame to the left.
Step 4: Prepare the Recess for Mounting
1. Drill Deeper Holes: Deepen the holes you drilled in Step 2 by drilling them to a depth of 8mm, ensuring there's enough space for the wall plugs.
2. Insert Wall Plugs: After drilling, insert the provided wall plugs into the holes.

Step 5: Apply Double-Sided Tape
Before placing the Guard back into the recess, apply double-sided tape to the bottom of the bottom frame. Be sure to remove the protective backing from the tape to expose the sticky side.
Step 6: Place Guard Back into the Recess
Position the Guard back into the window recess and align it with the drilled holes. Make sure the Guard is firmly stuck to the bottom of the recess using the double-sided tape applied in the previous step.

Step 7: Fix Screws into the Top Frame
With the Guard back in place, fix the screws into the pre-drilled holes in the top frame, securing it firmly into the window recess. Make sure the screws are tightened securely for a strong hold.
Step 8: Seal the Edges
Using a caulking gun, apply caulk around the edges of the Guard. Once applied, smooth out the caulk to ensure a clean, even seal that prevents light or air from seeping through.

FAQs
Guard features a unique track system that eliminates gaps between the blinds and the window frame to ensure total darkness. The dual-layered honeycomb fabric combines non-woven polyester with a reflective thermal barrier to block light, insulate against heat, and reduce noise.
Guard is designed to fit most standard window types, but there are a few considerations.
Guard won't fit windows that are not square. Additionally, the blinds require at least 1.3 inches of unobstructed recess space for proper installation. If your window doesn't meet these criteria, Guard may not be suitable for you.

Guard is low-maintenance. The non-woven polyester fabric resists dust and stains, requiring only occasional cleaning with a damp cloth. No special cleaners or treatments are necessary.
