Installation Guide

TIMBER FRAME INSTALLATION
The screen can be mounted using a timber frame with beading.
- Ensure that there is plenty of room for thermal expansion - you must
leave a space of 1/4" along the long edge and 1/2" along the short
edge
- Use timber beading at least 1 3/16” in depth to retain the screen.
- Nail or screw the bead in place to make a back support for the
screen, then position the screen in the frame and fit the bead to hold
the screen in place.
- Ensure that the frame is strong enough to withstand the additional
weight and wind loading.
Note: For best result paint all the timber components before assembly.
ROUTING TIMBER INSTALLATION
This option can only be used if timber is routed before the frame is assembled.
- Rout a slot in the timber frame 5/16” wide. The slot must be 13/16” deep in
the base timber to retain the lattice and 13/16” deep along each side. At the
top, the slot must be 1 3/16” deep. This is so that there is enough room for
the lattice to expand and contract.
- When the sheet is installed in the frame, there should be 1/4" movement in
the width of the sheet and 1/2" in the length for expansion and contraction.
Note: For best results paint or stain the timber before the panel is installed.
If the panel buckles in the heat, you have not allowed enough gap for expansion.
