4.2. Masonry
This installation method is meant for solid brick walls (THIS EXCLUDES ALL TYPES OF
DECORATIVE BRICK) where the masonry brick anchors/ties are in perfect order.
YOU WILL NEED TO INSTALL SHIMS IF THE BRICK SURFACE IS UNEVEN.
4.2.1. Choosing the position
Similarly to wood based frames, choose a position which will accommodate the length of the
cable guides on each side of your shade. If your window or door to be protected is shorter than
10’, you will have to cut the cable guides as per the height desired. However, this cutting should
be performed at the end of the installation. While the shade may be too long for your
requirement, you can stop the opening of the shade at any position.
4.2.2. Installation on bricks
Please note that it is more important to ensure a good anchoring than to follow the placement
as seen on the drawing below (See figure 5).
Figure 4
Figure 5
Using the supplied brackets (See figure 4), position the bottom of each bracket 1 1/4’’above the
bottom of the casing while understanding that the casing has a height of 5’’when installed on
the wall. Please make sure that screws will be positioned at least 1/2’’ from the border of each
brick, this criteria being more important than the height desired for your installation.
Trace a horizontal chalk line at this height. Make sure this chalk line is level. You may need to
review the frame of your window or door, to make sure it is perfectly parallel to your chalk line.
Otherwise, you may need to make a small adjustment to your chalk line. Trace the two sides of
this line to identify the width extremities of the casing while making sure the casing will be
centered on your window or door.
WARNING:
The provided masonry fasteners cannot be used in the joint between two bricks.
Install them in the brick body, at least 0,5” from the edge of the brick (see Figure 5). The
fasteners are also not designed for hollow surfaces like hollow cement blocs. Visit a hardware
store for the proper fasteners to be used for your type of installation. DO NOT USE THE
SUPPLIED MASONRY FASTENERS ON STUCCO WALLS.
