Important information regarding installation


How to install correctly

  • Before installation, ensure that the support to which the wire rope or rail system is attached is stable and strong enough to safely hold the weight of the outdoor curtains.
  • Before drilling, make sure that there are no electrical, water, or gas lines in the ceiling at the intended location.
  • Always use the supplied mounting hardware for installation.
  • For larger curtains, it is recommended that two people carry out the installation.
  • Be sure to follow our installation instructions.

Tolerances

Our outdoor curtains are manufactured with precision. Due to the nature of the material (textiles are flexible), slight variations may occur.


Rail system installation

Step 1 - Prepare the carrier


Mark drilling locations

The wall or ceiling brackets (depending on the type of mounting ordered) must be mounted on the support structure at a distance of 80 cm.

Appropriate holes must be drilled in the supporting structure:

  • For an aluminum or metal structure, a pilot hole with a diameter of 4.5 mm must be drilled for the self-tapping screws.
  • For a stone or concrete support, a pilot hole with a diameter of 8 mm and a minimum drill hole depth of 50 mm must be drilled for the universal dowels.

IMPORTANT! 

  • Before installation, ensure that the support structure is sufficiently strong to hold the curtain securely.
  • Before drilling, ensure that there are no electrical, water, or gas lines in the wall at the intended location.

Step 2 - Prepare the bracket and rail


Mounting the brackets

Mount the wall or ceiling brackets using the screws provided, but do not tighten them too much (align them lengthwise).

Connecting the rails

Connect the rails using the connectors supplied.
Rails longer than 130 cm are supplied in sections and must be assembled accordingly.

Rails longer than 130 cm are supplied in sections and must be assembled accordingly.

Step 3 - Mount the rail


Attaching the rail

Place the rail in the correct position. It is best to carry out this step with two people – one person holds the rail while the other aligns it precisely.

Rotate the holder

Take an open-end wrench, grip the holder with it, and rotate it 90° counterclockwise (viewed from below).

Secure the holder

Ensure that the holder is correctly locked into place and securely fastened so that it cannot come loose on its own.

Rope system installation

Step 1 - Install eye bolt


Install eye bolts

At the beginning and end of the length to be covered, the appropriate stainless steel eye bolt (metric thread M8 x 100 mm or wood thread M8 x 80 mm) must be mounted on the support structure.

  • For aluminum or metal structures, a pilot hole with a diameter of approx. 6.8 mm must be drilled for the eye bolt.
  • For stone or concrete supports, a pilot hole with a diameter of 8 mm and a minimum drill hole depth of 50 mm must be drilled for the universal dowels.
  • For lengths over two meters, we recommend an additional eye bolt for greater stability. The appropriate number is supplied depending on the total length.

IMPORTANT! 

  • Before installation, ensure that the support structure is sufficiently strong to hold the curtain securely.
  • Before drilling, ensure that there are no electrical, water, or gas lines in the wall at the intended location.

Step 2 - Install the wire rope


Install wire rope

At the beginning and end of the length to be covered, the corresponding stainless steel eye bolt (metric thread M8 x 100 mm or wood thread M8 x 80 mm) must be mounted on the support structure.

  • First, thread the wire rope completely through the stainless steel eye bolt that has already been mounted on one side.
  • On the opposite side, thread the rope through the rope tensioning lock. Make sure that the rope remains taut but still adjustable.
  • Then secure the wire rope at both ends with the appropriate stainless steel U-bolts.
  • Be careful not to tension the rope too much, so as not to damage the support and eye bolts.

Have you thought of everything?


The bracket is strong enough to hold the curtain securely in place.
There are no electrical, water, or gas lines in the wall at the drilling sites.
For rail systems - max. bracket spacing 80 cm
For wire rope systems - max. eye bolt spacing 200 cm
