Sliding Curtains
|
 Sliding
curtains are very aesthetically pleasing and practical. They can be a
few feet wide or cover an entire patio area. ProTect™
sliding curtains made from PolyCB2 MX-90 will hang smoothly, stay
closed, and pull back nicely folded whenever desired.

The
privacy and see-through features make these curtains a premium protection
from the elements. They protect from the sun's heat
producing and damaging ultra-violet radiation. And, they double
as a rain deflecting shield and barrier from high wind gusts.
Each curtain is custom made to your specifications for an exact fit.

When
measuring, consideration should be given
as to where it is
being mounted in relation to the framework. This will determine
both the height and width.
|
Height:
If mounting within the frame, allow overhead room
for the cable with hooks (or track system with hooks) of about
1" to 1-1/2". If mounting upon the exterior of the
frame, you must be sure that the curtain folds when being drawn
back will clear the overhead beam of the frame. The height (or
drop) of the curtain should be such that the curtain hangs
2" to 3" above the floor.
|
Width:

(1) If you are mounting on the exterior of the frame, you will
want the curtain to overlap the frame uprights by about 2"
for attachment.

(2) If installing a matched pair of curtains, allow an
additional 2" to each section for overlap.

(3) Curtains do not pull across "drum tight". Therefore,
you will want to add an additional
3" to the width for curtains three to five feet wide and
1" per foot of width thereafter. If there is any
remaining slack in the curtain after being pulled across,
it can reside up against the framework.

Attaching
the Sides:

Consider how you
wish to secure the sides. Velcro pads sewn into the curtain hem
work very well when securing curtain to curtain. Also, twist
lock connectors can be used for this purpose.

On the stationary sides, the standard stainless steel grommets
over screw hooks is very popular. Or, the same grommets can be permanently
attached. You can also use twist lock grommet studs screwed into
the frame. Beware of using Velcro as an attachment to wood or
metal. The adhesive has a tendency to loosen after weathering.

Twist lock grommets and connectors are available in three
styles:
(1)
Inline locking stud (TLC) for connecting overlapping curtains
together
(2) Screw base stud (TLS) for attaching to wood framework
(3) Wing flange stud (TLW) for attaching to aluminum framework

Matched Pairs:
When ordering, the term "Matched Pair" tells us that
the two curtains are meeting together when closed and that the
attachment Velcro pads or Twist lock connectors must
"mate" correctly. Upon checkout, be sure to indicate
in the
Remarks Section
which items are a
Matched Pair. |

Customer
Assistance for ordering curtain tracks and associated hardware:

Curtain track systems are available in
a number of styles, configurations and mounting options. To
assist and as a courtesy, we will
be happy to place an order for the proper tracks and hardware
on your behalf. This will require a phone conversation
with you after you have placed your curtain order. At
that time, we will discuss configuration and hardware requirements with you.
We will then place an order for the proper track and components
so that your track system will be shipped to you with your
curtain order ready for installation. |
