2.6 Installing and Removing Screens
The Margay screens in a wall are quite close together, so the order in which you remove them from a
wall is very important.
WARNING
Do not install or remove any screen until you
have read and understand this section. If
screens are installed or removed improperly,
they may be damaged.
About “no-mullion” screens
One of the best features of Margay is its “zero mul-
lion” screens. The screens are as close together as
possible, which means there is very little dead space
between them.
The Margay screens “float.” When they are
installed, they will move up, down, right and left a lit-
tle. This floating allows them to be position as close
to each other as possible. Screens next to each other
touch each other.
Floating also means that screens higher in a wall
are resting on the lower screens. The screens in the
bottom row rest on screen supports, the “skirt” at the
bottom that holds all the screens up.
The screens won’t fall off if the screen support is
removed or if screen in the bottom row is removed.
However, they may move down a little.
Avoiding damage to the screens
The close, “zero mullion” screen arrangement
comes at a price: You have to be more careful when
installing and removing screens than with other
Planar
products.
WARNING
Pulling the screens off incorrectly can damage
the screens. See the example on the facing
page.
Avoiding gaps between screens
When you install screens in a wall, it is important
to put them on in the proper order.
The next two sections describe in detail how to
install and remove screens properly.
