Easy to install

 

Our Brise Soleil solutions have been designed to make installation very straight forward.

​

Please take care to look after the components as you put them up and not to scratch them on any rough surfaces. Take your time, follow the basic steps and you will have it up and looking fantastic in no time at all. We suggest it is a 2 person job when fixing the canopies in place.

Tools you will need...

​

  • Cordless drill and masonary drill bit

  • Pencil, tape measure and spirit level

  • Socket spanner with socket attachment

  • Two sturdy ladders or a mini platform

  • The correct wall fixings for the material type you are fixing into

(Please see link to Fischer Fixings below).

How to fit your horizontal Brise Soleil

TapeMeasure.png

STEP 1

 

  • Find the centre point of the doors/window and make a light pencil mark across the wall above the the top of the door/window frame at the desired height for the canopy.

  • Measure the width of the canopy section and add a couple of milllimeters to allow for installation.

  • Mark these measurements onto the external surface.

  • Fit all brackets to wall using suitable bolts making sure they are all level.

  • TIP : you can use a chunky piece of timber as a spacer between each bracket to make sure they are set at the same distance. Apply a little clear silicon in the raw plug before you screw in the stainless coach screws.

STEP 2

 

  • Offer the cassette up inbetween the brackets and loosely fit the supplied bolts through the mullion of the canopy (side support) and the bracket.

  • You will need to push the bolts back flush with the bracket to allow for the next canopy to be slotted into place.

  • Make sure the canopy is supported at this stage.
