SLIMLINE FRAME INSTALLATION
MATRIXTM Décor Screens come pre-packed with a slimline frame. Simply drill a 3/16” hole through
the frame and screen, then a 1/2” hole through the screen only, then screw to any rigid structure. For
best results, we recommend using our specially designed screws in the MATRIX
TM
Screen Mounting
Kit.

Before you begin, select the installation option from the diagrams that is closest to your requirements.
1. Clear a space to prepare the screen for installation. The plastic wrapping from the screen can
be used to protect the screen while you are working.
2. Remove the two long U-channels from the screen. Center the top U-channel to the screen
panel and push it in so there is no gap. Drill a 1/8” hole through one side of the top U-channel
and screen only. Then drive one short screw (supplied attached to this label) through the back
of the U-channel and into the screen.
3. Put the two long U-channels back onto the sides of the screen. Slide them up to the top Uchannel so they overlap in the top corners (Fig. 1).
4. Measure each position for the mounting holes and mark on the U-channels as per the
selected installation option.
5. Drill 3/16” holes through the U-channel and screen where marked (Fig. 1).
6.
Remove the long U-channels from the screen and drill out the 3/16” holes in the screen ONLY
with a 1/2” drill bit (Fig. 2).
IMPORTANT: These oversized holes are crucial as they allow
the screen to expand and contract with temperature changes.
7. Peel off the protective film from all the U-channels, then replace the side U-channels back
onto the screen and match up the mounting holes in the channels and the screen (Fig. 3).
Push them up to the top U-channel, ensuring that both sides are overlapped the same way.
8. Fit the bottom U-channel to the screen so it overlaps the bottom ends of the side U-channels
the same way on both sides. Drill a 1/8” hole through the back of the bottom U-channel and
the screen only. Then drive one short screw (supplied attached to this label) through the back
of the U-channel and into the screen.
9.
To install the screen, drive the two top screws through the holes in the screen and U-channel
first, so the screen will hang from these two points. Then insert the other screws and drive
them into the support structure.
IMPORTANT: Release each screw by half a turn after
tightening.
10. To test whether the screen is installed correctly, lift the screen up; there should be vertical
movement of approximately 5/16”. If not, release each screw by another half turn until there is
enough movement. Otherwise, re-drill the mounting holes in the screen if required.
