If I don't have space for the RETRACTABLEBugScreen TM in the Head Jamb, and don't want to order the optional Frontal
Installation Accessory Kit, or remove the blinds taking space in the Head Jamb, can I try installing the RETRACTABLEBugScreen
TM a few inches below the Head Jamb?
In many cases where there is insufficient space in the Head Jamb due to alarm system accessories, or blinds in the Head Jamb, the
RETRACTABLEBugScreen TM can still be installed inches below the Head Jamb if there is enough room for the existing blinds to descend
and clear the retractable insect screen.
Whether it is possible or not to install the RETRACTABLEBugScreen TM inches below the Head Jamb, depends on the type of blinds or
existing window accessory that is already in the Head Jamb and the type of window; single hung, etc..
You need to ensure you will have space for the blinds in the Head Jamb to clear the retractable insect screen's Header (A) when the blinds
are lowered.
The window type must also be type of window; like single-hung window, where opening the window and then lowering the
RETRACTABLEBugScreen TM will NOT result in an air gap where bugs and insects will be able to enter.
If the existing blind or window accessory in your window's Head Jamb can clear a RETRACTABLEBugScreen TM installed inches below
the Head Jamb, then you can proceed to install the RETRACTABLEBugScreen TM as per the same instructions for Head Jamb installation.
The only alteration being how to measure the height of where to cut the Lateral Insect Screen Side Tracks (J). You will have to cut the
Lateral Insect Screen Side Tracks (J) by first installing the Screen Cartridge Header (A) (without screwing it (A) to the side walls, so in case
you make a mistake you can still make adjustments).
Once you have installed the Screen Cartridge Header (A) measure from the bottom of the Screen Cartridge Header (A) to the window sill.
And use that measurement as your H = Height measurement as you follow the installation instructions.
My walls or side jamb wall is uneven or irregular, can I install the RETRACTABLEBugScreen TM on uneven or irregular wall
surfaces?

uneven or irregular walls,
