Tenera Installation Instructions 50
Install the Top Channel
Arch shadings can only be mounted on the
inside of the window casement.
CAUTION:
Handle the fabric carefully
throughout the installation process.
■
Clear a flat, clean workspace.
■
Place the shading with the front side of
the fabric facing up. Note that the fabric support clips are pre-attached to the shading.
■
Locate and mark the top center of the window casement. One method is to use a plumb
line, as shown.
➤
Measure the bottom sill and divide in two to locate center and mark the location.
➤
Move the plumb line until the bob aligns with the center mark on the sill, then mark the
location on the top casement.
IMPORTANT:
Locating the exact center is very important for the shading to hang level and
evenly in the window.
■
Center the space between the two fabric support clips attached to the fabric on the center
mark on the casement.
■
Mark the location for the mounting screws.
➤
The minimum depth for a flush mount
(fabric flush with the front of the sill)
is the
vane size of the shading (2", 2
1

", or 3" vanes).
➤
The minimum mounting depth for screw
placement is
7
/
8
".
First, measure to
locate center.
Then, line up
with center.
