Matrix Décor Screens oer the perfect blend of contemporary
styling, durability and low maintenance. The versatility and
style of these screens allows for installation both indoors and
outdoors, in formal and informal settings.
Matrix Décor Screens are suited to all climatic conditions and will
never rot, rust, swell or leach out their colour. These screens are
not aected by continuous exposure to moist, salty air and will
not stain walls or paving.
Fade resistant materials are used to ensure that Matrix Decor
Screens will never need painting. Painting is not recommended
as conventional paints will not adhere to Matrix Decor Screens.
Attractive designs of Matrix Décor Screens allow an artistic
installation suited to residential and commercial properties. All
Matrix Décor Screens can be further enhanced with background
or recessed lighting.
Bring the garden inside, enhance your courtyard, or disguise an
existing feature or unwanted view with Matrix Décor Screens.
• Made in Australia from 100% recycled plastic
• Will not rot, rust or need painting
• Do not contain harmful chemicals
• Resistant to mould and insects
• Covered by a 15 year structural warranty
Matrix Decor Screens can be installed using several simple
methods. Our recommended method is using one Matrix
C-Channel Frame Kit per panel.
Matrix C-Channel Frame Kits are available in sizes that match
Matrix Decor Screens. If the size of the panel has to be reduced
to t the available space, cut the same amount o the panel and
o the frame pieces to ensure that they t together.
THERMAL EXPANSION AND CONTRACTION
All plastic products will expand and contract with changes in
temperature. If no allowance is made for thermal expansion
and contraction during installation, this may cause damage
to the product and void the warranty. The gures below show
approximate panel size variation due to temperature changes:
8’ x 4’ 6’ x 4’ 6’ x 3’
At 32ºF 94.6” x 47.2” 70.8” x 47.2” 70.8” x 35.2”
68ºF 94.9” x 47.4” 71.1” x 47.4” 71.1” x 35.4”
104ºF 95.2” x 47.6” 71.3” x 47.6” 71.3” x 35.6”
Expansion gap: 3/4” 3/8” 1/2” 3/8” 1/2” 1/4”
If the screen buckles in the heat, this means that the screws are
too tight; release them slightly to allow some movement. If the
screen still buckles, check that screws are centred and reposition
if required.

Made in Australia
From recycled plastic.
VERSATILE IN APPLICATION, EASY TO INSTALL.
Whatever your application, there is a simple installation method
to provide the exibility and ease of installation you need to
create your outdoor masterpiece.
Installation in a at (ceiling) position is not recommended and
any resulting distortion will not be covered by the warranty.
FIXING METHODS
Installing Matrix Decor Screens using one of our recommended
methods will ensure a professional and durable nish.
Note: Our 15 year Warranty only applies when the panel has
been installed in accordance with our installation
instructions.
Detailed installation instructions are provided with each kit
and can be downloaded from www.designow.com.au; these
instructions must be carefully followed in accordance with the
Warranty conditions.
INSTALLATION OPTIONS
There are several simple installation options that will ensure a
professional and durable nish:
• Using screws and washers – screw holes in the panel must
be 1/4” larger than the screws to allow for expansion and
contraction with changes in temperature. (Fig 1)
• Using a Matrix galvanised and powder coated C-channel
frame kit produces a very professional and secure
installation. (Fig 2)
• Within a timber frame with grooved timbers or beading.
(Fig 3)
Using spacers to set the screen panel o the wall or fence will
create a more 3-dimensional installation with shadow eects.
Backlighting can be used to further enhance this eect.
Detailed instructions are available on our website:
www.designow.com.au
NOTE: These products are not approved for use as pool fencing.
MOUNTING DIRECTLY USING SCREWS:
The following steps must be followed when direct xing Matrix
Screens.
• To mount the panel using screws (with washers if required),
holes should be positioned in locations as close as practical
to the diagram below.
• Holes should be drilled at least 1/4” larger than the screw
thread to allow for expansion..
• If required, use washers to cover the holes.
• Make sure that each screw is in the centre of each
attachment hole.
