Frame Assembly
Step 1: Position the pieces of the frame in the arrangement shown below.
Corner Connection
Note: Make sure all holes are in alignment and the
frame pieces are flush (no gaps), then fasten the screws.
Corner Connection
Step 2. Place the assembled frame to the side and carefully unroll the screen material
face down on the top of a soft, clean cloth.
Step 3. Insert the four horizontal and two vertical Tension Rods into the corresponding
sides of the screen material, while keeping the material lying flat. Careful not to snag
on the holes at the edge of the material during this process, forcing the rods may
damage the screen material.
Step 4. Connect the elbow joints (b) to the top and bottom sections of the vertical
frame. Once inserted, connect the vertical sections to the horizontal frame sections.
Make sure all holes are in alignment and the frames pieces are flush (no gaps).
They should form perfect right angles.

To prevent permanent damage to the screen material, be sure your hands are clean for the next step.
Center Support Bar
Step 5.Secure the elbow joints by fasting them with M5x6 screws (e), 4+4 at each corner.
Rev.101321NAS www.akiascreens.com U-00235 4
See illustration on the right side on how to properly install the Support bar.
Insert the support bar's
tip into the frame's
groove in the middle,
then rotate it and insert
the other end on the
other side of frame.
Step 6: Two people are suggested for this step. Place the center Support Bar into the top
grove on the back of the frame at the approximate center point. Carefully pull the
bottom horizontal frame outward and place the center Support Bar at the approximate
center point of the frame, carefully release the frame once the bar is centered.
(See illustration below)
Spring Attachment Method
Step 7. Once the corners and center support bar are secure, continue attaching the
remainder of the springs to the material. Connect the center of the vertical and
horizontal portions of the material, then work your way around the rest of the frame.
Screen Material
Note (after all springs have been attached):
Correct material installation -Corners of the screen material are properly wrapped
around the corner edges of the frame and material is evenly tensioned and flat,
creating a nicely taut surface.
Rev.101321NAS www.akiascreens.com U-00235 5
Attention: Do not proceed with the Edge Trim installation until making sure there are no ripples in the material.
Incorrect material installation -The corners of the screen material are not properly
wrapped along the edge of the frame leaving the material with unbalanced tension and
an uneven finish. To correct, detach springs from material at the corner(s) where
material does not lie flat along the edge of the frame, reposition the material so that it lies
flat and wraps along the edge of the frame, and reattach springs to the material.
Note: Please make note of the yellow label and spring in the center of the frame. This is
an indicator to start the screen material installation process from the middle area of the
frame.
How to avoid getting ripples on the screen's material surface Solution: Pull and
smooth out the material using your hand from the center to the corners, creating a nicely
taut surface as shown below.
Rev.101321NAS www.akiascreens.com U-00235 6

4. Attach an edge trim spring (N) on the middle of each edge trim (1-6) to the frame
as show on the left illustration.
