<p><span style='font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;'>There are 2 areas to pay attention to when it comes to order tracks working with the Recessed System.</span></p>
<ol><li style='font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;'><span style='font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;'>Timing. It’s recommended to order the track after the Recessed System is installed. Tape measure slots ensure precise measurement for an accurate track fit within the recessed pocket.</span></li></ol>
<p style='padding-left: 160px;'><span style='font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;'><strong>Track width = Slot to Slot Measurement + 6 in (152 mm).</strong></span></p>

<h2><span style='font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;'>How do I prepare the ceiling for the Recessed System? </span></h2>
<p><span style='font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;'>Ensure there is blocking to secure the Recessed System to the ceiling and support the weight of the drapery system depending on the ceiling architecture.</span></p>
<p><span style='font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;'>Prepare Double- or Single-Layer Drywall: Create a recess of 1.25 in (31.75 mm) deep so the flanges are pressed tightly to the drywall.</span></p>

<h2><span style='font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;'>Does Lutron provide tools to help with the installation?</span></h2>
<p><span style='font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;'>When mounting the track, use the recessed drapery installation tool (model number WIN-DREC-TOOL) to center the track within the recessed mounting pocket. This ensures even gaps. Also the installation tool can be used as a drill guide when installing the track mounting screw to protect the track. </span></p>
