Approved Installation Instruction Approval Process

  1. Technical Support Contacts:
    • Warm the Curtains to 50 degrees before unfolding.

    • Track Splices are located at about 4” from each end regardless of Curtain/opening width, and at all Track ends along the “run”.

    • Door openings greater than 8’ (eight feet) wide will require additional Track Splices. Door openings at, or less than, 8’ (eight feet) typically do not require a center Splice.

    • The last piece of Track may be harder to install “in place”, so some, or all (depending upon the width), assembly on the floor may prove to be easier.

    • Door openings that are greater than 8’ (eight feet) high, require additional vertical fiberglass stiffener sections along the top, and are supplied.

    • The Track Rollers need to be installed into the Track before installing the last section of Track.

    • Wall Mounting Hardware is not included.

  2. Move the Curtain(s) into the warmest room temperature available to aid in handling later.
    • Move the Curtain(s) into the warmest room temperature available to aid in handling later.

    • To determine any adjustment to the Track length, measure the total length of the Track pieces, and the opening at the Header.

    • If the total Track length is less than the opening width, this can be compensated for by pulling a small gap at each joint and at the ends.

    • If there is more Track than Opening width, remeasure the final gap at the end of the “run”, and cut the last piece at that time.

  3. Measure the Track Splice Mounting Bracket to determine the offset from the desired Curtain Centerline. (1/2 of the width)
    • Measure the Track Splice Mounting Bracket to determine the offset from the desired Curtain Centerline. (1/2 of the width)

    • Snap a chalk line at this distance on the underside of the Header to ensure alignment of the Track Splice Mounting Brackets.

    • Make sure that the Track Splices are aligned to the Reference Line. Track Splices are located at about 4” from each end, and there Must be a Splice located at all Track junctions regardless of Curtain/ Opening Width.

    • Install the Track Splices to the underside of the Header with fasteners suited for the building material.

    • Loosen and/or remove the nuts from one half of the track splices and Install one Track Section.

    • Make sure that the Track sits squarely in the Splices.

    • Reinstall and tighten the Splice Clamp nuts. Repeat for the length of the run.

    • Install the Roller -Hooks, then install the last section of Track.

  4. Warm the Curtains to 50 degrees before unfolding.
    • Warm the Curtains to 50 degrees before unfolding.

    • Unfold the curtain on a clean flat surface.

    • Locate the fiberglass Extension Tube(s) and Locate the opening at the top (Grommeted edge) of the Cam Lock edge/leading edge

    • Insert the Tube into the centermost pocket/ folds (between mesh material for Bug Blocking Curtain) until it

    • engages the splice/coupler below.

    • To fully seat the stiffener extension tube you may have to tap the end.

    • When fully seated, the tube will be about 3” below the top edge of the Curtain for Standard Height Curtains, and about 12" below the top edge of the Curtain for Tall Curtains.

  5. Hang the Curtain Grommets on
    • Hang the Curtain Grommets on

    • the Roller Hooks.

    • Crimp the Roller Hooks after each Grommet is hung.

    • For Tall Curtains, leave the last Roller Hook uncrimped for now.

  6. Measure and mark the center of the Curtain Opening on the floor.
    • Measure and mark the center of the Curtain Opening on the floor.

    • Couple the two halves of the Curtain by moving the handles of the two Curtain halves toward each other until the magnets catch the metal bar of the other half.

    • Center the two Cam Lock poles over your mark on the floor.

    • Ensure that the Curtain is plumb front to back,

    • then mark the pole locations on the floor.

    • For each Cam Lock Pole, drill a ¾” hole about 1” deep into the floor at this location.

  7. Latch the Cam Locks into the floor. Move to the next Cam Lock down the line.
    • Latch the Cam Locks into the floor.

    • Move to the next Cam Lock down the line.

    • Grasp the next Cam Lock pole and pull the curtain taut to the center Cam Lock.

    • Plumb, mark, drill and engage the Cam Lock into the floor, and repeat the process.

    • Repeat for the other side/half of the Curtain run.

  8. When all of the Cam Locks are installed on that Half of the Curtain Run, Locate a Tie Back Strap and move to the End/Edge of the Curtain,
    • When all of the Cam Locks are installed on that Half of the Curtain Run,

    • Locate a Tie Back Strap and move to the End/Edge of the Curtain,

    • thread the Tie-Back Strap through a Grommet at the Curtain's Edge at about waist high.

    • Fold and fasten the free end of the Curtain to the wall through the Grommets in the Curtain's Edge.

    • For very Tall Curtains, Fasten through the Top Grommet into the Mounting Surface.

    • Repeat the Tie-back Strap and Fold-Fasten process on the other End of the Run.

  9. The Valance should conceal the Curtain Grommets and Roller Hooks.
    • The Valance should conceal the Curtain Grommets and Roller Hooks.

    • Hold the Valance over the Opening to determine the ideal height.

    • Snap a Chalk Line at this height (usually 2”-4” above the Door Opening).

    • Center the Valance, Left to Right, on the Opening, and locate the top edge on the Reference Line.

    • Attach the valance panel to the building fascia through the grommets using the provided rubber washers and self-tapping screws.

  10. If the Floor is severely tapered, the Curtain should be cut more to the high Side length so that the Sweep doesn't drag on the floor when opening the Curtain.
    • If the Floor is severely tapered, the Curtain should be cut more to the high Side length so that the Sweep doesn't drag on the floor when opening the Curtain.

    • Bend the Floor Sweep onto the floor.

    • Snap a Chalk Line on the material at the desired height..

    • Trim the material with a Scissor.
