# Installation Types

Not the product family but the connection form. The mounting type fitting the joinery and the surface is compared family by family.

## The Four Questions That Decide the Mounting

Once the blind or insect screen selection is finished the decision comes to the connection. The right mounting type decides the product's life, look and daily-use comfort. A wrong connection means a swaying housing, a peeling adhesive or a needlessly drilled joinery. Four questions solve the selection: what will it attach to, is drilling done, how often will it be removed, how many times a day will it be used.

### The Surface Is Everything

The load a screw holds, an adhesive lifts or a bracket carries. All change by the material connected to. PVC joinery, aluminium profile, concrete wall and timber ceiling do not carry the same connection.

### Drilled or Drill-Free

Adhesive, hooked and glazing-bead models mounted without touching the joinery leave no mark in rental homes. Screwed and bracketed connections, on the other hand, offer a permanence that does not move for years.

### The Snap-Off Balance

A product to be removed for cleaning or moving and a product to stay in place for a lifetime do not ask for the same connection. Hook and clip give convenience, screw and bracket give permanence.

### Usage Intensity

A balcony door opened dozens of times a day and a window insect screen removed twice a season ask for different connections. At heavy passage a screw, at sparse use a clip is enough.

## Installation Types by Family

Each product family has its own connection architecture. The types' technical details are on the family's page.

## Connection Types Quick Comparison

Each family's drilled and drill-free options, with the point to watch.

Mounting connection types and notes by product family
Product Family — Drilled Connection — Drill-Free Connection — Critical Note
Insect Screen — Screwed, hinged, track-mounted — Snap-off with clips — Recess fitting on joinery shuttered outside
Pleated Insect Screen — Screwed housing mounting — Threshold-free ≤7 mm track — Threshold profile by passage intensity
Pleated Blind — Screwed, bracketed — Adhesive, hooked, glazing-bead — Hooked on glass balcony, adhesive on insulated glazing
Honeycomb Blind — Screwed, bracketed — Adhesive, hooked, glazing-bead — The glazing-bead type reduces edge light leak
Duette Blind — Screwed, bracketed — Adhesive, hooked, glazing-bead — The double-layer weight asks for brackets on wide surfaces
Venetian Blind — Wall, ceiling, inside frame — — — On a recessed window the exact size cuts edge leakage
Zip Screen — Side channel + housing screwed — — — Outer façade. Concrete, aluminium or timber pergola
Curtain (Roller Family) — Wall, ceiling, inside frame — — — Bracket direction and chain side are chosen at order

When the right connection cannot be confirmed the joinery photo is conveyed; the mounting type is settled together.
