Inside mounting
Verify your window reveal is suitable for this product prior to
installation. Also be sure not to exceed or be short of the
specified reveal sizes. In the delivery condition you will need
a reveal depth no less than 5 cm. If your window has a win-
dow reveal smaller than 5 cm but at least 3.5 cm, follow
additional installation step 1b.
Note: If your window opens outwardly, you can also mount
the roller roller screen to the inside of the window or to the
reveal.
Step 1
Measure the height (h) and width (w) of your window reveal
(see Fig. 1a).
Attention: Please also consider any differences in length,
as window reveals are not always square, particularly in
older buildings.
Additional step 1b for reveal depths of 3.5 – 5 cm: Slightly
pull out the fibreglass fabric
A1 and wrap around the roller
screen enclosure A so the fabric A1 cannot return to the
roller screen enclosure A . If necessary, have a second per-
son help you with the installation. Now pull off the handle
bar
A2 from the fibre glass fabric A1 . Turn the handle bar A2
by 180° and slide back over the fibreglass fabric A1 (fig. 1b).
Step 2
Remove the self-adhesive bush seal
J1 from the inside of the
handle bar A2 (see fig. 2).
Step 3
Transfer the dimensions of the measured width (w) to the
measuring tape on the roller screen enclosure
A . Measure
with the measuring tape and draw a line for the cut.
Attention: The measuring tape already allows for the end
cap
C2 and spiral spring I . The enclosures A can be cut
to a maximum of 70 cm regardless of the imprinted measur-
ing tape length. In this case shift the measuring tape left
beyond the imprinted 100 cm and mark the measured size.
Slightly pull out the fibre glass fabric
A1 and wrap around
the roller screen enclosure A so the fabric A1 cannot return
to the roller screen enclosure A . If necessary, have a second
person help you with the installation. Ensure the roller screen
enclosure
A , the fibre glass fabric A1 and the handle bar A2
are flush (see fig. 3).
Step 4
Now saw through the roller screen enclosure
A , the fibreglass
fabric A1 and the handle bar A2 all in one with a hacksaw,
and sawing square (see fig. 3).
Note: Use a mitre box for this purpose.
Step 5
Smooth the cut with a file and remove the aluminium filings
with a paint brush (see fig. 3).
Step 6
Now screw
N1 the cover C1 to the interface of the roller
screen enclosure A (see fig. 4).
Step 7
First slide one of handle recess
D , then the pull cord E , and
finally the second handle recess D into the slot on the handle
bar A2 (see fig. 5).
Step 8
Attach the right and left handle bar end parts
F onto the
handle bar A2 (see fig. 6).
Step 9
Attach the self-adhesive bush seal
J1 , centred on the ceiling
side of the roller screen enclosure A (see fig. 7) and trim
any excess.
Note: Omit this step for outside mounting.
Step 10
Subtract 46 mm from the measured height (h) and transfer this
measurement to the two guide rails
B . Using a hacksaw, cut
the guide rails B to size (see fig. 8).
Note: Use a mitre box for this purpose. Then smooth the cut
edge with a file.
Step 11
Using a pair of pliers, clamp the brush guides at the top end
of the guide rails
B with the built-in brush seals and draught
shield brushes (see fig. 9). This will prevent the brushes from
sliding out during use. Be sure to always use the guide rails
B
so the draught shield brush faces away from the window.
Step 12
Screw one retaining hook
G1 into each of the locking parts G2
and attach the locking parts G2 together with the retaining
hooks G1 to the bottom of the two guide rails B (see fig. 10).
Step 13
Attach the two bow springs
H to the cover C1 (see fig. 11).
Note: Omit this step for outside mounting.
Step 14
Attach two bow springs
H to the cover C2 and attach this
together with the spiral spring I to the roller screen enclo-
sure A (see fig. 12). Keep it firmly pressed against the roller
screen enclosure A .
Step 15
Keeping the cover
C2 firmly pressed to the roller screen
enclosure A , clamp the enclosure A into the wall reveal
(see fig. 13).
Attention: Be sure the roller screen enclosure
A is cor-
rectly mounted, meaning the clearance to the outer edge of
the wall is even across the entire width.
Step 16
Attach the double.sided adhesive strip
K to the guide rails
approx. 2 cm from the bottom edge G2 where the locking
parts are attached B . Remove the protective foil (see detailed
image 1, fig. 14). Insert the left and right guide rails B into
the respective latch of the cover C1 C2 and align by pushing
them up into the latches of the cover C1 C2 in the window
reveal (fig. 14).
Attention: The retaining hooks G1 and the locking parts G2
must be facing towards the window (see detailed image 2,
fig. 14). Verify the guide rails
B are correctly aligned,
meaning the back of the roller screen enclosure A and the
back of the guide rails B form one surface, thus being
evenly spaced from the outer edge of the wall. You may now
firmly press the guide rails
B to secure them to the wall (see
fig. 14).
Optional screw mounting: The guide rails
B may
optionally be screw mounted by securing B two evenly
spaced screws N per guide rail, which will then secure the
guide rails B to the window reveal. Procure dowel plugs to
fit the included screws and suitable for the structure of the
wall. Using a 4 mm drill, first drill a hole through the rear pro-
file of the guide rails positioned in the reveal
B (detailed
image, fig. 15), which will provide the markings on the win-
dow reveal. Now remove the guide rails from the reveal
B ,
insert the matching dowel plugs into the reveal at the markings
and screw the guide rails to the reveal
B after reinserting
them into the latches of C1 the cover C2 through the drilled N
holes on the reveal (see fig. 15).
Step 17
Draw down the roller screen and hook the handle bar
A2
into the retaining hooks G1 of the closures G2 . To do so, pull
the handle bar A2 down, tilt it outwards and away from the
body, and allow the handle bar A2 to catch in the closure
hooks G1 (see fig. 16).
Note: If the roller screen does not immediately catch, keep
holding the handle bar
A2 down and screw the retaining
hooks G1 down toward the handle bar A2 (see fig. 17).
Attention: Be sure to hold the handle bar A2 until it prop-
erly catches to prevent it from possibly springing back. This
allows you to now correct any level differences between the
brush and the wall by turning the retaining hooks downwards
with the roller screen closed. Do not screw too far down to
avoid bending the brush seal in the handle bar
A2 , which
will impair closing.
Step 18
To open the roller screen press down the handle bar
A2 , then
tilt it outwards away from your body to unhook. Allow the
fibre glass fabric to slowly roll back into the roller screen
enclosure (see fig. 16).
Optional outside mounting
If you are unable to install the roller screen inside your window
reveal, you can mount it to the wall, in front of the reveal.
Step 1
Measure the height h and the width w of your window open-
ing (see fig. 1).
Step 2
Add 72 mm to the measured width (W) and transfer the result
to the measuring tape on the roller screen enclosure
A .
Now follow steps 3 to 8 under chapter “Inside
mounting”.
Note: If your window does not have a sill on the outside of
the window, remove the brush seal
F before attaching the
handle bar ends J to the bottom of the handle bar A2 and
slide into the designated side groove in the handle bar A2 on
the side facing the window to ensure optimal sealing (see
detailed image, fig. 18):
Step 9
Subtract 2 mm from the measures height (h) and transfer this
measurement to the guide rails
B .
Step 10
Using a hacksaw, cut the guide rails
B to size and smooth
the cut edge with a file (see fig. 8).
Follow steps 11 and 12 under chapter “Inside mounting”.
Step 13
Attach the cover
C2 and one roller screen enclosure bracket M
to the roller roller screen enclosure N using a screw A .
Attach the second roller screen enclosure bracket M to the
other end of the roller screen enclosure N , again using one
screw A (see fig. 18).
Step 14
Attach the guide rail bracket
L to the bottom, onto the
closures G2 (see fig. 19).
Step 15
Using the screws
A , secure the roller screen enclosure N2
through the roller screen enclosure bracket M to the front of
the wall, in front of the window reveal. Mount the roller
screen enclosure
A so the handle bar A2 is visible in the
window reveal and you are able to reach into the handle
recesses
D to operate the roller screen.
Attention: Use a spirit level for installation (see fig. 20).
Step 16
Insert the guide rails
B into the corresponding latches of the
covers C1 C2 , push them up as far as they will go to ensure
that the guide rails B will be seated at C1 C2 the point of
impact between A the covers of the roller screen enclosure N
and mount to the wall and though the guide rail holders L
using screws. Be sure the retaining hooks G1 in the locking
parts G2 are facing the window (see fig. 21).
Attention: Use a spirit level for installation.
Now follow steps 17 to 18 under chapter “Inside mounting”.
Note: If the wall quality prevents the guide rails B being
optimally flush with the wall, the guide rails can be additional
secured
B to the wall N using a screw. In this case, deter-
mine a drilling location approximately centred on the guide
rails
B and drill a hole through the profile walls using a 4
mm drill bit (see fig. 22). Remove the guide rails, B , insert
the dowel plugs and remount the rails B . Now open the drill
holes visible on the outer side walls of the profiles using an
8 mm drill bit (size of the screw head). Fasten the guide rails
to the wall
B with the screws N through the holes. Cover
the 8 mm drill holes with the caps O (see fig. 22 a+b).
Outside mounting on windows
with sill
If the window has a window sill, the guide rail brackets L
cannot be mounted. Allow the guide rails B to rest on the
window ledge. Determine one drilling point A each, approx.
5 cm from the bottom end of the guide rails
B , and drill a
hole through the profile walls using a 4 mm drill bit (see fig.
21). Remove the guide rails
B , insert the wall plugs, and
reattach the guide rails B . Now open the drill holes visible
on the outer side walls of the profiles using an 8 mm drill bit
(size of the screw head). Fasten the guide rails to the wall
B
with the screws N through the holes. Cover the 8 mm drill
holes with the caps O (see fig. 22 a+b).
