How to install Elite Screens Universal Ceiling Trim Kit
- Plan and verify space: Begin by assessing your ceiling cavity to ensure there is adequate depth and clearance for the trim kit and screen housing. Confirm any joist, ducting, or wiring constraints before proceeding.
- Prepare the ceiling opening: Mark and cut the ceiling opening per the trim kit’s installation template, ensuring a precise, square cut that accommodates the housing and trim piece for a flush fit.
- Mount the housing: Secure the ceiling-mounted housing according to the provided guides, taking care to align with existing ceiling planes and wipe away any dust to maintain a clean surface for the trim integration.
- Attach the trim kit: Install the universal ceiling trim piece, aligning it with the housing so the screen retracts cleanly and the gap between ceiling and trim remains uniform for a seamless edge.
- Test alignment and operation: Gently retract and extend the screen to verify flush alignment with the ceiling, making any minor adjustments to ensure smooth operation and an unobtrusive, finished look.
- Final refinements: Check for paint or texture mismatches, touch up as needed, and confirm that the screen retraction creates a continuous ceiling line with no visible hardware.
