You'll notice some
"riveting" changes in the installation of
Luminette Privacy Sheers you receive starting now.
The rivets that hold the swivel plates that hold the
sheers in place are now attached in an easier way.
The rivets are now simply snapped in to the bulkhead (above
left) on the active end. On the other side of
the sheer the rivets and the swivel plate are snapped into
the swivel arm in the same way. The rivets are now shipped
attached to the swivel plates, which protects them from
damage and makes them literally a snap to
install.
Improved Swivel
Plate
In conjunction with the changes on the rivet, the
redesigned swivel plate (pictured above right) now
holds more securely with a tighter grip around the rivet.
This is to prevent any separation of the end treatments
once attached to the headrail.
 Previously,
the rivets were permanently attached to the bulkhead and
swivel arm as shown in the drawing at right from the old
Installation Instructions. The rivets were sometimes damaged in
shipping or during the installation process. This
new method is considerably more reliable and less prone to
damage. Installing The Swivel Plates
These illustrations from the new
Luminette Installation Instructions show how the
swivel plate is attached to the bulkhead and then to the
swivel arm.

 New Integrated Bushings But that's not all that has changed in the
installation of Luminette. This one should make most
installers happy. The bushings that are required for
installing the first spacer block required for an outside
mount have been redesigned and will be much easier to
install. The bushing now fits snuggly into the back
of the spacer block. The mounting screws are then placed
through the faceplate and bushings. So now the
bracket can be easily held in place with just one hand (so
you can use the drill with the other) and attached to the
wall or mounting surface.

The OLD Way
It looked a lot easier in this illustration
than it ever really was to accomplish |
The NEW Way
The bushings are integrated with the
bracket. Much easier! |
