*Quantity will vary depending on width. Regarding mounting brackets- if your window is up to 54" wide you will have two mounting brackets. If your window is 54 1/8"-84" wide you will have three mounting brackets. If your window is 84 1/8"-94" wide you will have four mounting brackets.
**If applicable to your order.
Regarding extension brackets- if mounting above the trim, you may need to use extension brackets. These brackets are used with your mounting brackets to provide additional space between the mounting surface and the blind. It is commonly used when there is a raised trim, molding, or window framing.
