Setup and Installation
Follow these steps carefully for proper installation. Two people are recommended for assembly.
- Prepare the Installation Area: Ensure the wall and floor surfaces are clean, level, and structurally sound. Mark the desired position for the partition.
- Install Top and Bottom Rails: Securely attach the top and bottom aluminum rails to the ceiling and floor, respectively, using the provided mounting hardware. Use a level to ensure they are perfectly horizontal and parallel.
- Assemble Frame Sections: Connect the vertical aluminum profiles to the top and bottom rails to form the main frame structure. Ensure all connections are tight and stable.
- Insert Glass Panels: Carefully lift and insert each glass panel into the designated slots within the aluminum frame. Ensure the rollers are correctly seated in the bottom rail and the guides engage with the top rail.

- Adjust and Secure Panels: Once all panels are in place, adjust them to ensure smooth sliding and proper alignment. Secure any locking mechanisms or stoppers as per the specific design.
- Final Inspection: Check all connections, ensure panels slide freely without obstruction, and confirm the partition is stable and secure.
Operating Instructions
The Ravena sliding partition is designed for smooth and effortless operation.
- To open or close the partition, gently grasp the edge of a sliding panel and push or pull it along the track.
- Avoid forcing the panels if they encounter resistance. Check for any obstructions in the track.
- The panels are designed to slide independently, allowing for flexible room configuration.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your partition.
- Cleaning Glass Panels: Use a soft, lint-free cloth and a non-abrasive glass cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could scratch the glass.
- Cleaning Aluminum Frame: Wipe the aluminum profiles with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Dry immediately to prevent water spots.
- Track Maintenance: Periodically clean the top and bottom tracks to remove dust, dirt, or debris that could impede smooth sliding. A vacuum cleaner with a narrow attachment can be useful.
- Lubrication: If the sliding mechanism becomes stiff, apply a silicone-based lubricant to the rollers and tracks. Do not use oil-based lubricants as they can attract dirt.
- Hardware Check: Annually inspect all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your sliding partition, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Panels are difficult to slide | Dirt or debris in tracks; rollers are dry or damaged; misaligned panels. | Clean tracks thoroughly. Apply silicone lubricant to rollers. Check panel alignment and adjust if needed. |
| Panels do not close completely | Obstruction in the closing path; misaligned stoppers. | Remove any obstructions. Adjust the position of the stoppers. |
| Wobbling or instability | Loose mounting hardware; improper installation. | Check and tighten all screws and fasteners. Re-verify installation steps. |
