Reveal Fitted

Visualisation

How to measure

The head cassette is fitted between the reveal walls, to the side walls, using the tabs either side of the cassette or, in the case of the chain mechanism option, to the lintel using the spring clips supplied.

The two side guides fit to the underside of the head cassette and rest on the window sill. They are fitted to the inside wall of the reveal. Locking clips are fitted to the bottom of each guide to hold the screen down.

We advise taking 3 measurements for both width (top, middle & bottom) and height (left, middle & right) to allow for any variations. In each case, take the smallest measurements for your final width and height. We will make your screen to these sizes.

Thank you for purchasing a roller fly screen, we are confident that you won't be disappointed with the quality and ease of installation. Your screen will have been delivered with all return springs, bearings and brakes, if selected, ready assembled. The 2 side guides will be separate but these simply slot onto the cassette in a matter of seconds

Each roller fly screen order will come with the following components

Ready assembled cassette x 1

Side guides x 2

Screws or silicone

Cover caps if face fitting

Your screen will arrive in 3 sections, the cassette will be ready assembled and the 2 side guides will be separate, simply slide the side guides onto the end of the cassette.

FACE FITTING

This method of installation is when the roller screen is installed directly onto the window frame. To install the roller fly screens onto the face of the window frame you have 2 options, either silicone or screw fit. To screw fit the screens you will need to drill 2 holes in the side guides ensuring the screw goes between the lugs.

The screen is fixed directly to the face of the window frame.

RECESS INSTALLATION

This is when the screen is installed into the recess of the window, the screen can be set back away from the window or can be against the window frame, depending on your choice. If you were covering a large window opening with 2 openers you can set the screen back in the recess so that the screen can be operated with only one window open. If you have opted for recess installation the end caps on the cassette will have expander springs inside. Simply compress the end caps offer into the reveal and then release. The screen can then either be screwed into position or you can use silicone to secure in position.

SILICONE INSTALLATION

1. The first step is to make sure that the window frame is clean and free from any grease or dust.
2. Take the assembled screen and place it against the window to make sure that it is the correct size.
3. Prepare the silicone by cutting off the end and placing the nozzle onto the tube and into a silicone gun (not supplied)
4. Run a 10mm bead of silicone around the window frame where the fly screen will meet with frame. The tubes supplied will have enough silicone to install 2 screens.
5. Place the assembled screen onto the frame making sure that it joins fully with the silicone and press firmly into position. Test the operation of the screen to make sure that it travels up and down easily, make adjustments if necessary, wipe of any excess silicone from the frames. The silicone is a high grab adhesive so the screen doesn't need to be clamped in position. It is best to allow the silicone to fully dry over a 24 hour period before you use the screens. If you need to remove a screen the silicone doesn't set hard so if you run a sharp craft blade through the adhesive you will be able to remove the screen.

SAFETY

The spring retraction cassette is recommended for operation by adults as the force of the retraction could cause harm if the base bar is released before being fully retracted. DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO OPERATE OR PLAY WITH THE SCREEN. Please do not allow small children to operate the screen or play with the pull cords as these are a choking hazard. These cords are best removed by simply cutting of or shortening, if there is a chance of children tampering with them. !
