ASSEMBLY ADVICE
Ø Clear a space sufficiently larger than the external dimensions of the screen with access to all
sides – ideally this should be a clean, flat surface to protect the screen from damage.
Ø Carefully remove all of the components from the packaging and check them against the
components list.
Ø Locate the plastic sheet and spread it out onto your clean assembly surface.
Ø Determine the positions of the wall screws (1/4” or 6mm). The lateral position of the frame
brackets (item 6) can be changed by loosening the retaining screws and sliding the brackets to
the required position. Use wall plugs of suitable size and strength for the screen.
Ø Minimum distance of wall bracket from edge of frame should be more than 100 mm.

ASSEMBLY ADVICE
1. Place the protective sheet on a wide, clean surface sensibly larger than the complete screen.
Place all profiles on the protective sheet. The black velvet side must be face down.
2. If you install screen with size under 100” go to page 6

6. Select the type of wall brackets between 2 solutions:
• 2 x “Z” brackets (coming as couple) and 2 x snap-in brackets: this is the standard and
simplest solution. It will apply in most cases
• 4 snap-in brackets: this is a fixing solution to install the screen in a recessed place where it
cannot be lifted to be hanged
Copyright Screen Excellence Ltd. 2017, Version 2.0 9
7. Fix 2 wall brackets (Z or snap-in) onto the wall.
If you use the “Z” brackets:
• Install frame Z brackets in position you determine
• Clip two snap-in brackets at the bottom of the frame
• Hang screen on the wall and check the final position. Adjust if needed
• Draw precisely the contour of each bottom bracket leaving them clipped in the frame groove
• Unhook the frame, unclip bottom brackets
• Place each one of the brackets in the corresponding contour line and draw a mark for each
hole
• Fix the two bottom brackets to the wall
• Hook the frame onto the wall to check position

8. Remove the frame from the wall

9. Place the frame on the protective sheet; unroll the white and black fabrics. Beware not to stain
on the white fabric. Insert the fabric into the groove of the Gripfix profile with the provided
spatula. Start by the middle of the four sides (the large sides first), and then progress towards
the corners.
Spatula Gripfix profile
It is safer to perceive the insertion position by simply inserting the tool once in the profile without the
fabric. Then remove it, place the fabric over the profile and insert it inside.

the wall Z-brackets, then inserting the bottom pi-grips of the lower wall brackets into the
corresponding grooves of the screen.

4 wall bracket pi-grips into the screen groove by pushing it until it clips on the 4 brackets.
