- Thermal Shields are custom
made to your specifications and cannot be returned for incorrect
customer ordering information.
- Always use a metal tape
measure, preferably 1/2" to 1" wide.
- Indicate which measurement is
the width and which is the height (length).
- The width is always stated
first in measurements and the height (length) is stated second.
- Measure each window even
though they may all appear to be the same size.
- Examine windows and the
immediate area for obstructions that would interfere with
installation or operations: bracket installation (wood, metal,
plaster, block, etc), drapery or shade hardware, crank posts,
lights, signs, etc.
Windows or fixed glass:
Thermal
Shields can be fitted on just about any window, glass door or fixed glass area. Thermal
Shields can be mounted inside casing or face mount. To measure for Thermal Shields,
measure first the width of the area to be covered, then measure the length you wish to
cover. These measurements are for the wood track in which the shields glide. Factory will
make all allowances in fabrication.
When measuring the width for an inside mount, measure at three places: TOP, CENTER and
BOTTOM. [**IMPORTANT** When ordering YOU
MUST indicate the SMALLEST of all three measurements for width!]
When measuring the length, measure at two places: LEFT SIDE and RIGHT SIDE. When
measuring for width and length on an outside or face mount, measure area you wish to be
covered. For inside mounts, include the recess or depth of window frame.
Sliding Door: Measure the area you wish to cover.
Determine whether you want your door installation to be an inside or outside mount. It is
your choice as long as the finished Thermal Shield does not interfere with the door's
operation.
French Door: On a French door, shield must be
measured as an outside mount with enough clearance to open the door without interfering
with the track on either side. Also, there must be enough clearance on top to clear the
door frame.
Thermal Shields will be shipped as a complete system, track and shield, ready to install
as per your measurements. Easy to follow instructions are included.
