Habitat Screen Installation Guide 

 

If nothing else, at least read this page 

 
Talius  has  been  producing  retractable  screens  since  1998  and  in  that  time  we  have  found  that  most  issues 
experienced are related to the product installation.  It is essential to follow the installation guidelines.  We urge 
installers to take the time now to read the instructions and avoid costly, time-consuming problems later.  It is 

only necessary to read through a small fraction of this booklet as it covers all types of Habitat Screen installations.  
At the beginning of each section the booklet will point out if the section can be skipped. 
 
Habitat Screens ship with the screen curtain inside the panel box. This is to facilitate simple installation and save 
time. We hope that this installation guide is easy to use.  Should you discover an error or an omission please 
tell us about it.  Parts and options change continually so we are updating all the time. 
 
Should you require any support or have any questions, please call us from site: 800-665-5550 
(M-F 8am to 4:30pm PST) 
 
We thank you for putting your trust in us. 
 
Sincerely, 
 
Your Talius Customer Service Team
