When measuring for the Screen Solutions Plissé you will need to make reasonably accurate measurements of the opening. These photos demonstrate the best procedure for gathering those measurements.
First decide where in the opening you will install the screen.
Typically the Plissé screen frame is mounted in the corner between the door jamb and the door casing as indicated by the arrow in this photo.
The bottom rail rests either on the threshold or on the surface just in front of it.
By now you should already have printed the Measurement Worksheet and have it close by to record these measurements.
From the left side measure out 20 inches and make a mark.
When the Plissé is installed it will cover any marks.
Now measure out from the right side to your mark and record the mesaurement in inches and sixteenths on the worksheet.
Add that amount to 20 inches. This is your top width measurement.
In the example shown here the measurement from the right side to the mark is 16-3/8 inches. That added to twenty, or 36-3/8 inches, is the top width measurement for this door.
Repeat the same procedure for the bottom measurement.
On the left side, at the bottom, make a mark at 20 inches - as shown in the photo to the left.
Measure from the right side, at the bottom, to your mark and record on the worksheet.
Add that amount to 20 inches and record it on the worksheet, also.
In this example the measurement from the right side at the bottom is 16 inches. Added to 20 inches gives a measurement for the bottom width of 36 inches.
Note that in this example; the top and bottom widths are not the same. The Plissé will easily adapt to this opening which is 3/8 of an inch larger at the top than the bottom.
At the right side of the opening from the top down, measure 30 inches and make a mark.
Repeat on the left side of the opening.
From the bottom of the opening, on the right side, measure up to the mark you made.
Record the measurement on the worksheet.
Add that amount to 30 inches. This is your right side height measurement.
In this example that amount is 51-1/4 inches. Added to 30 inches, gives a right side height measurement of 81-1/4 inches.
Repeat for the left side.
You now have all the measurements needed to order your Plissé screen. For help deciding if you need the optional threshold adapter click here. Complete the other items on the Order Preperation Worksheet and go to:
