    • The height listed on the tag which is attached to the lower corner of the Curtain will reflect the Finished Height ordered.

    • Confirm that the dimension from the top of the track to the floor is the same as the opening height of the Curtain ordered (i.e. 8’, 10’, or 12’ high etc.).

  3. This guide covers ALL Standard Track Mounting styles and may include mounting methods irrelevant to your application. Your Installation Kit will have all of the necessary Assembly Hardware, components, and a Track Layout Drawing to complete your Track and Curtain Assembly. Unpack your systems carefully, and notify the factory if there are any shortages, or if any items have been damaged during transit.
