Instructions
Prepare & Measure
- Unpack all track components, including the corner connector and gliders.
- Measure your installation area, always follow the manufacturer's instructions on spacing the brackets accurately, typically 50cm, to support the tracks and distribute the weight evenly. Use a level, so that the S-Fold glides correctly upon completion.
Install the Brackets
- Position your first bracket on your marked line and mark the screw holes.
- For Timber or Window Frames, drill pilot holes that are smaller than the actual screw size. This will assist when drilling the actual screws in.
- For Brick or Masonry Wall, drill tight fitting holes to accommodate the wall plugs. - Screw the brackets securely into place.
- Continue installing brackets along your marked line, adhering to the manufacturer's guidelines which are included in all S-Fold tracks supplied at Spotlight.
Install the Corner Connector
- Lay out both straight track pieces on the floor in the correct orientation, removing the existing gliders, and the end caps that will form the corner.
- Insert the end of each track into the corner connector.
- Add Gliders
- Measure the required length of gliders to accommodate the corner connector. Use the existing quantity removed as a guide.
- Install the gliders into the track, ensuring the gliders are secured at each end of the track. Instructions are available within each pack of gliders to assist further.
- Remember you will need an even number of S-Fold gliders for your hooks, if you wish to attach a wand, leave an uneven number of gliders. - With assistance, lift the assembled track and connector up onto the mounted brackets.
- Clip or screw the track into the brackets, starting from one end and working across the corner.
Prepare the Curtain
- Lay your sheer curtain flat.
- Insert hooks into the S-Fold heading tape according to the manufacturer's instructions to ensure that you have the correct number of hooks to create the perfect S-Fold.
- Remember to use an even number of hooks.
Hang the Curtain
- Start at one end of the track and attach each hook to a glider.
- Continue along, keeping the folds consistent.
- Once hung, gently adjust the fabric so the S-Folds fall evenly.
- Open and close the curtain to ensure smooth gliding, especially around the corner connector.
Finished!
Your curved corner S-Fold sheer track is now installed!
