NOW YOU ARE READY TO START!
Remove the
old rubber around the screen door using a removal driver
(Be careful not to injure your hands )
Then remove
the old net from the aluminum frame.
Clean the rebate around the screen door with an old toothbrush
and wipe the aluminum frame with an old towel so that
the following operations can be carried out in a clean
environment.
After cleaning the aluminum sash finishes, it is time
to fit the new net! Cut a piece of net slightly larger
than the aluminum frame, and place it on the aluminum
frame. Fix four corners of the net with clips so that
the meshes and the aluminum frame are parallel.
NOTE!
As long as the new NBC net is properly stretched and fixed
parallel to the aluminum frame then the next stage is
simple!
The net is stretched using an NBC rubber and roller. The
rubber is pushed by about 3cms into the corner of aluminum
frame about 3cm using the sharpened side of the roller.
NOTE! Please be sure to WORK IN A CLOCKWISE DIRECTION to the
aluminum frame so that your left hand can be used for
any adjustment.
Next push the rubber approximately 3cms into the rebate
using the roller.
NOTE!
Lay the rubber parallel to the slot before insertion to
make this operation easier. Please make sure that the mesh
is stretched taught.
For corners, use the sharpened opposite side of the roller
in order to push the rubber into the corner of the frame.
Once the rubber is correctly inserted into all four sides
of the frame, cut off any excess rubber carefully with
scissors.
NOTE!
If the mesh is still slack at this stage it is not necessary
to remove all the rubber and start all over again!
If
the net is still not taught after the rubber is pushed
in, pull the net upwards. For example if there is 5cms
of slack material then pull the net upwards about 10-15cm.)
After
the net is pulled upwards, pull the net toward the outside
of the frame with your left hand. Once the slack has gone,
push the rubber back into the frame again with the roller.
Make
sure that all of the net is tight . The last stage to
cut off the excess net. Be careful not to damage the
stretched net with the cutter at this point. Lean the
edge of cutting blade towards the inside of the frame,
and place the edge on the outside of the slot where the
rubber is inserted. Whilst pulling the net with your left
hand gently pull the cutting blade along the mesh paying
special attention to the corners.
Take
a look! A beautiful and bright screen door is now completed.
