WARNING
Please make sure that your balcony is level. This is a pre-requisite for this
modular type installation
WARNING
Depending which king of floor you have, it will be required to install
aluminium flashing on the floor to avoid any water infiltrations. For
acement floor, it is not required, you will only have to apply caulking inside
your awning. To install the aluminium flashing, be sure to keep at least
2 ½ “ (depth of panels) inside your balcony. Make sure that the flashing
follows as well your balcony. This is necessary to expel water. When all
your panels will be installed, you will apply caulking all around your awning.
With the help of the aluminium flashing, the water will get out easily and
avoid
water infiltration.

•Start by fixing the first panel on the floor. Make sure that it is well
positioned. The panels are fixed to the floor with U brackets. First, the U
brackets are fixed to the floor, and
then the panel is fixed to the U
brackets (like as shown on the
following pictures).
•
•
•You will have to
fix the panel and
the leg together
with 3’’ square
headed metal
screws.
•
•As a reference, the screen is always facing outwards and the polymer
windows facing inwards.
•Once your first panel is inserted in your brackets and
fixed with 5/16” self taping screws, you are ready to
install the second panel. Make sure that both panels are
aligned edge to edge, this is necessary to install the
double capping later properly.
Different floor types:
•CEMENT FLOOR: you will need to pre-drill a hole with an impact drill
and use special cement screws.
•FIBREGLASS ON WOOD: make sure you use the length of screw that
is appropriate to your floor structure. Apply caulking before to fix the
screws.
Use the chalk line
as a reference to be
sure that your wall
will be straight
The U bracket
must be fixed

•Install the second panel, fix both panel
together with three #8 square head
metal screws of 3’’ long. Pre-drill one of
them with a drill bit 5/32” inside the
window lock to conceal the screws. Repeat
this step 3 times.
•Now your first wall is completed and it’s time to start the second wall.
Before fixing the U bracket, be sure that the panel is positioned at 90° to
the first wall as shown. This is necessary for installing the corner capping
later on.

•Fix the simple interior capping before installing both panels together.
•Fix three “L trims” with four holes on the side of the panel, those will be use
to fix the two walls together. Fix another L support onto the floor to secure.
