Wall Mounting
1Mark mounting surface for placement of mounting brackets. If two brackets
are provided, they should be attached to the mounting surface about 4" in
from each end of the track. If there are three or more brackets, one should
be attached to the mounting surface about 4" from each end of the track,
and the remaining brackets should be spaced evenly between them.
Caution: Before mounting, verify measurements, and ensure the
brackets are installed at the correct locations, and high enough to allow
1" of clearance between the fabric panels and the floor.
2Drill small starter hole (if necessary) in mounting surface.
3Mount brackets using appropriate fasteners for surface.
Please Note: The installer is responsible for selecting mounting hard-
ware appropriate for site conditions and product weight.
4Attach track to the mounting brackets. Place the mounting locking mecha-
nisms into the extrusions along the top of the track, and rotate until they
lock in place (see Fig. 2).
Caution: Be careful not to pinch your fingers when closing or opening
the locking mechanism (see Fig. 3).

Ceiling Mounting
1Mark mounting surface for placement of ceiling brackets. If two brackets
are provided, they should be attached to the mounting surface about 4" in
from each end of the track. If there are three or more brackets, one should
be attached to the ceiling about 4" from each end of the track, and the
remaining brackets should be spaced evenly between them.
Caution: Before mounting, verify measurements, and ensure the
ceiling brackets are installed at the correct locations. 1" of clearance is

Mounting Optional Fascia
1Determine desired location of Optional Fascia. Fascia should be placed so
that it hides the Panel Track and Mounting Brackets.
2Pre-drill mounting holes for the brackets.
3Mount wall brackets in chosen location (see Fig. 9).
4If covering fascia with fabric, cut fabric to size and place face down on a
clean, flat surface. Place fascia face down on the fabric. Bring the fabric
around over the top or bottom of fascia, and anchor in place using spline
(see Fig. 10).
Please note: Spline is used to hold window screens in place, and is
available at most hardware stores. Choose spline size based on thick-
ness of fabric being used to ensure a secure hold.
A) For materials between 0.007 and 0.024-inches thick: use a hollow
rubber spline material that is approximately 0.22-inches in outer diam-
eter.
B) For materials between 0.025 and 0.040-inches thick: use a hollow
rubber spline material that is approximately 0.19-inches in outer diam-
eter.

Please Note: The end covers can also be painted or papered to match
your room decor. If you do this, paint or paper away from the Fabric
Panels, and make sure it is dry before assembling.
Wand Attachment
1For Panel Track units which open and close from one side, attach
Wand by hooking it into the eye on the endmost panel (on the end from
which the unit will open) (see Fig. 8).
For Panel Track units which open and close in both directions from
the center, attach Wands by hooking into the eyes on the two center pan-
els (see Fig. 8).

5Repeat with other end of fabric and fascia, making sure there are no
wrinkles in the fabric.
Please Note: The fascia can also be painted or papered to match your
room decor. If you do this, paint or paper the fascia away from the Fabric
Panels, and make sure it is dry before assembling.
6Install end covers onto fascia ends using provided screws. Attach fascia to
brackets by placing top lip over bracket and bottom extrusion into bottom of
bracket and tightening the thumbscrews to hold the fascia in place (see
Fig. 11).
Please Note: The fascia end caps can also be painted to match your
room decor. If you do this, paint away from the Fabric Panels, and make
sure it is dry before assembling.
7Measure the distance between the ¾" diameter shape located at the top
of the fascia and the wall. Use a fine tooth saw to carefully cut the bracket
covers to length (see Fig. 12).
Caution: Beware of the saw slipping along the bracket covers. Care-
fully cut a starter slot before sawing, and keep your fingers clear of the
saw.
8Snap end covers onto brackets (see Fig. 13).
