Mounting & Alignment

Proper mounting ensures smooth operation and longevity.

Wall Mounting: Locate studs for maximum support. Use wall anchors if mounting between studs.

Ceiling Mounting: Ensure mounting surface can support weight. Use appropriate anchors for ceiling material.

Alignment: Use level throughout installation. Track must be perfectly horizontal for proper panel movement.

Spacing: Allow adequate clearance above window for panel stacking when open.

Installing the Panels

Attach panels to roller carriers securely.

Insert roller carriers into track before attaching panels.
Attach panel hooks/clips to top of each panel according to manufacturer instructions.
Lift panel and engage hooks with roller carriers.
Ensure panel is securely attached and hangs straight.
Repeat for all panels, leaving equal spacing between them.

Tip: Have a helper assist with larger or heavier panels.

Final Adjustments & Testing

Test operation and make necessary adjustments.

Slide panels across entire track to test smoothness.
Check for any binding or sticking points.
Adjust roller tension if provided (refer to manual).
Ensure panels overlap properly when closed for light blocking.
Verify all mounting hardware is tight and secure.
Test multiple open/close cycles to ensure consistent operation.

WARNING! Do not force panels if they stick. Identify and correct the issue first.

Care & Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures long-lasting performance.

Clean track regularly with soft cloth to remove dust and debris. Lubricate rollers annually with silicone-based lubricant (do not use oil-based). Inspect hardware periodically for tightness. Clean panels according to fabric care instructions.

CAUTION! Do not use abrasive cleaners on track or rollers. Avoid excessive force when operating.

Safety Information

Follow all safety guidelines during installation and use.

Use proper ladder safety. Wear safety glasses when drilling. Ensure mounting surface can support system weight. Keep cords and small objects away from track mechanism. Do not allow children to play with or hang on panels. For ceiling mounting, verify structural integrity.
