STUDDED FIXING FOR VISTA SCREENS ON BRICK WALLS

Vista screens can be fixed on the face of posts or in between, this will affect the post position so will need be decided beforehand.

Step 1

Use a string line to provide a guide for the position of the posts.

Drill hole in top edge of wall with a drill bit 2mm larger than the metal stud. i.e. 12mm stud - use a 14mm drill bit.

Step 2

Due to quick drying nature of Epoxy resin, it is advisable to carefully mark out & drill all the holes first, then use the Epoxy resin & fix as many posts as possible in one go.

Remember to work quickly as the glue is mixed in the nozzle and will quickly set if not continually used.

Step 3

Insert stud into hole taking care to make it as level as possible.

N.B. Once the resin has set the post can be moved slightly for minor adjustment.

Step 4

Please check that tops of each post are at a uniform height, unless there is a change in heights required.

Step 5

Repeat steps 3-4.
