Installation Guide

13 Inspect the strips of black glazing vinyl and note
the two different profiles. The flat shaped vinyl [U] is
installed vertically and the crescent shaped vinyl [V] is
installed horizontally. There should be a total of four (4)
individual vertical and four (4) individual horizontal
pieces of vinyl about a 1/2” wide each. (May need to
peel apart from a wider strip).
These vinyls are designed to fit tightly between the glass
and metal frame. TIP: Wet the glass and vinyl with water
or glass cleaner immediately before installing vinyl and
use a small block of wood to press the vinyl into place.
NOTE: Different glass sizes require different vinyl. Refer to
the chart for clarification if installation is extremely difficult.
14 Cut the four (4) pieces of vertical vinyl [U] 1”
longer than the vertical opening. Verify depth of glass
into post and wall jamb is sufficient and even (refer to
Step #5). Starting on the exterior, slide one end of the
vertical vinyl up into the header and press into the wall
jamb about 6” down.
Apply light pressure against the interior of the glass panel
to hold vinyl in place and install vinyl on the interior in a
similar fashion. Press the vinyl into the wall jamb
alternating between the interior and exterior. Remove the
tape from glass surface before installing the vinyl.
Caution: Do not to stretch the vinyl when pressing into place.
Repeat above steps for the 180º post.

15 Cut four (4) pieces of the horizontal vinyl [V] 1/2”
longer than the horizontal opening. Cut both ends of the
vinyl with a back mitre so that they sit tight against the
face of the vertical vinyl. (see illustration)
Starting at the top on the exterior, place the vinyl against
the glass (open side of the crescent shape against the glass)
and press into the header at both corners. Continue
pressing vinyl into the header from both ends working
toward the middle.
Install the top interior vinyl on the same side.
