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 Clarity 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.
