Zig Zag Lacing of lacing cord alternately through grommets
and under hooks is a method that will produce good results.
Use this method where it is necessary to lace a screen to a pipe
frame without hooks.
Zig Zag Lacing
Single Loop Lacing is fast since each loop is merely doubled,
pushed through the grommet and down over the screw hook.
Alignment between grommet and screw hook must be straight
to avoid puckering of picture surface.
Single Loop Lacing
Diagonal Lacing provides a desirable tension on the fabric.
It facilitates putting the correct tension in the correct direction
regardless of the grommet and hook relationship.
Diagonal Lacing
Double Loop Lacing tends to eliminate any tendency of the
picture surface to creep at the edges or unnecessary puckering.
This is overcome by pulling each loop over two hooks.
Double Loop Lacing
Shock Cord Lacing calls for elastic lacing cord (approx. 3/16" dia.)
and “S“ hooks (approx. 1-1/2") which are inserted in grommet
holes. This is the fastest method and usually considered
adequate. (Shock cord not supplied by Da-Lite.)
Shock Cord (Elastic) Lacing
Spring Mounting is a more expensive method, usually reserved
for rear screens used out of doors. Here grommet holes must
be in perfect alignment with the screw hooks. (Springs not
supplied by Da-Lite.)
