Installation

Install Pikkuna weather screen yourself and save money!

We have installed many Pikkuna units even before these instructions were created. Now we are working to make the instructions as simple and clear as possible, so you can easily install Pikkuna yourself or with the help of a local professional. This saves money and speeds up installation.

⚠️ Important

Pikkuna weather screen is installed outside the opening and its edges are attached to the frame of the opening. When looking through the opening from the inside, the edges should not be visible.

General installation tips & tricks

Different mounting methods can be chosen for the Pikkuna weather screens. However, it is important to follow a certain installation sequence, here are a few tips:

  • Hooks must always be installed first, as tensioning always takes place in the opposite direction.
  • The upper edge can be temporarily fastened in place with a stapler gun to ease the installation process.
  • Start the installation from the so-called dominant edge (this can be the edge with the least fixing surface area) and stretch the film in the opposite direction.
  • Take into account possible installation restrictions in advance.

Ask for another pair of hands

A small Pikkuna weather screen is easy to install alone, but larger elements are best installed by two people to ensure proper alignment and tension for a smooth finish.

Consider the temperature

Installation is easiest at temperatures above +5°C. In freezing conditions, the material stiffens, making tightening difficult. Our online shop offers a heat blower to help stretch the film even in sub-zero temperatures, ensuring a proper fit.

Ensure proper tension

Proper tension is crucial for a smooth, wrinkle-free surface. Apply firm pressure during installation to prevent unevenness and ensure a neat, professional look.
