Wall Mounting

Wand by hooking it into the eye on the endmost panel (on the end from
which the unit will open) (see Fig. 8).
For Panel Track units which open and close in both directions from
the center, attach Wands by hooking into the eyes on the two center pan els (see Fig. 8).

Mounting Optional Fascia
1 Determine desired location of Optional Fascia. Fascia should be placed so
that it hides the Panel Track and Mounting Brackets.
2 Pre-drill mounting holes for the brackets.
3 Mount wall brackets in chosen location (see Fig. 9).
5 Repeat with other end of fabric and fascia, making sure there are no
wrinkles in the fabric.
Please Note: The fascia can also be painted or papered to match your
room decor. If you do this, paint or paper the fascia away from the Fabric
Panels, and make sure it is dry before assembling.
6 Install end covers onto fascia ends using provided screws. Attach fascia to
brackets by placing top lip over bracket and bottom extrusion into bottom of
bracket and tightening the thumbscrews to hold the fascia in place (see
Fig. 11).
Figure 11
Please Note: The fascia end caps can also be painted to match your
room decor. If you do this, paint away from the Fabric Panels, and make
sure it is dry before assembling.
7 Measure the distance between the ¾" diameter shape located at the top
of the fascia and the wall. Use a fine tooth saw to carefully cut the bracket
covers to length (see Fig. 12).
Figure 9
4 If covering fascia with fabric, cut fabric to size and place face down on a
clean, flat surface. Place fascia face down on the fabric. Bring the fabric
around over the top or bottom of fascia, and anchor in place using spline
(see Fig. 10).
Figure 10
Please note: Spline is used to hold window screens in place, and is
available at most hardware stores. Choose spline size based on thick
ness of fabric being used to ensure a secure hold.
A) For materials between 0.007 and 0.024-inches thick: use a hollow
rubber spline material that is approximately 0.22-inches in outer diam
eter.
B) For materials between 0.025 and 0.040-inches thick: use a hollow
rubber spline material that is approximately 0.19-inches in outer diam
eter.
