The installation process will be considered step by step:
- Connection brackets with holders. Details have a special thorn groove.

Features of fastening on a deaf shutter

The installation process begins with gluing adhesive tape on the plates with grooves. To do this, their surface needs to be prepared - wipe, degrease, dry thoroughly.
Note! For degreasing, it is better to use ordinary medical alcohol. It will not harm the parts.
The adhesive tape on the plates is released from the protective film. We connect the plates with side brackets.
Next, you need to start installing the lifting mechanism. It is mounted on the gear according to the manufacturer's instructions. Then insert the brackets into the shaft. The sun protection system is ready.
The next stage is markup. With one hand the curtain is applied to the sash, with the other - its location is marked with a pencil. The markup is convenient to do with the help of a simple pencil. You cannot use a marker. It is difficult to erase from the surface. Next, you should prepare the surface of the window. Wipe it with alcohol, leave for a few minutes to dry.
