Chapter 3 :Basic Ways to Attach A Shutter To a Windows

There are only 4 ways to attach a ‘standard’ shutter to a window --- yes, it’s that simple

Direct Mount

Hinge is mounted directly

to the window jamb.

Hang Strip

Hinges are mounted to the hang

strip. It’s the hang strip that’s

installed to the window jamb.

Z-frame

This frame mounts inside the

window, but decorative edging

also wraps around the wall

surface of the opening.

Surface Mount

L. frame

M. are mounted directly onto the

window trim surface or wall

surface surrounding the opening.

Direct mount, hang strip, Z-frame and Tilt Z-frame all require a net window opening measurement (referred to as WO).

 Measure window width at three points and height at three points.

 Use the smallest width and smallest height measurements for price estimation and for handing off for final measure by a qualified installer.

L-frame and Deco-frame both require measurements of the finished frame size, after assembly (referred to as F-F).

 Frame-to-frame size is the total ‘footprint’ of the frame as it sits on the window trim or the wall surface.

 Place a sample of the frame on the window trim or wall to determine frame placement and mark those points.

 Measure frame-to-frame width at three points and height at three points.

 Use the largest width and largest height measurements for price estimation and for handing off for final measure by a qualified installer.

Chapter 4:General Shutter Terminology

Astragal Stile — Covers clearance gap between two panels for

the purpose of eliminating light gap. Integral to stile.

Bi-fold - Two panels are hinged together to lie flush against the

window or wall.

Outside Mount -A shutter that is mounted on the outside of an

opening.

Louvers -The movable fins inside the shutter panel.

Shutter Type—The type of material used; wood or composite

Buildout -Used in conjunction with Frames to move panels away from window, allowing additional clearance for louvers to open.

Bypass Track System -Two or more panels on two overhead

tracks that slide and pass each other.

Café Aligning Catch - Concealed magnet and catch plate on back

top side of the café panels. Used to provide a flush panel align

ment.

Café Style Shutters—Cover the lower portion of an opening.

They can be made to any height within product specifications.

Tilt Bar -A vertically mounted bar located on the front of the

shutter used to open and close the louvers.

Square Window—Diagonal measurements must be within ¼”

difference. Windows that are not square will need to have the

shutter mounted to the outside of the window opening.

Divider Rail -A rail that divides the shutter panel into two hori

zontal sections. It is used to add strength to a tall panel or add a

decorative touch.

Double Mouse Hole -Recess on the top and bottom rail allowing

for the louvers to be completely closed in either direction. Close

in upward position for optimal closure.

Hang Strip-The mounting frame that is used for inside mount

Shutter Style—Shutter shape or mechanism; i.e. arch, French door,

standard rectangular, bypass, etc.

Split Tilt—The splitting of a tall set of louvers into separate upper and

lower, independently operated sets, without the use of a divider rail.

Inside Mount -A shutter that is mounted on the inside of an

opening.

Stile -The vertical portion of the panel frame to which the lou

vers are anchored.

Panel -The part of the shutter that consists of a set of louvers,

two rails and two stiles.

Hidden Tilt—Tilt mechanism attached to the back of the panel.

shutter panels. A rear-mounting hang strip.

Direct Mount -Mounting the shutter panels directly to the win

dow casing.

T-Post -A vertical post that divides the shutter into multiple

sections (used with wider shutters).

Box-out Frame -Track system frame option that creates an out

side mount application consisting of a three-sided frame.

Rails -The top and bottom solid portions of a panel that frame

the louvers.

Hidden Tilt—Tilt mechanism attached to the back of the panel.

Window Depth -The distance from the surface of the wall to the

closest part of the window (examples: latch, crank, frame, etc.).

Stackback -Configuration that allows the panels of the bypass or

Bi-fold track system to completely slide beyond the window

opening.

Light Block -Square rail that blocks light between the window

sill and the shutter panel, used with direct mount, hang strip, 2

sided frames and 3 sided frames.

Panel Configuration—The number of panels and T-posts incorporated within the shutter unit, including references to each panel’s hinge direction and which panels are hinged together.

Bottom Panel Guide—Components part used with bypass con

figurations to lead the panels so that they do not project into

the room.

Mouse Hole -Recess in the top rail of the panel that the lift rod

rests in when the louvers are completely closed. Standard is

single mouse hole.

Rabbet Stile - A special cut on the stiles that allows the panels

to overlap. Helps control light penetration between the panels.

Frame Configuration— The number of sides of the shutter treated with framing, plus any reference to which sides also use sill frame or sill cap.

Chapter 5:How Shutter Are Made For Wider Window

1.Minimum and maximum single panel width

1. Min. and max. panel width when used in bi-fold sets

3. Maximum span of bi-fold panel set

4.Panel configuration

5.Min. and max. order width by panel configuration

Key Points:

 There are limits to how narrow and to how wide panels can be made.

 Panel width limits also vary between wood and composite due to weight issues that affect shutter operation.

 Panel width limits change even further when panels are hinged together in a bi-fold set (again, due to weight issues).

 Wider single panels, bi-folded panel sets* and T-posts are all used to increase shutter unit width.

 T-posts can be requested even when not required, but desired for design purposes or to off-set panel widths within a symmetrical configuration

* Minimum and maximum panel sizes are reduced when two panels are hinged together into a bi-fold panel set.

Chapter 6:How Shutters Are Made for TALLER Windows

Key Points:

 There are limits to how short and to how tall panels can be made.

 At designated maximum heights, a horizontal support (a Divider Rail) must be built into the panel for lateral strength.

 Divider rails are used to increase panel height.

 Panel height limits vary between wood and composite due to weight issues that affect shutter operation.

 Up to two divider rails are available. Divider rails are also available when not required, but desired for privacy or design purposes.

 There’s never a charge for divider rails.

 Maximum order height will also vary by type of frame that is specified.

Chapter 7:Shutter Design Considerations

In Rooms With Multiple Windows

of Different Widths :When working with multiple windows of different widths in the same room, attempt to keep panel widths within the same general size range and

symmetry. If feasible, modify number of panels in each shutter unit to help bring about more consistent panel width throughout the same room.

In Rooms With Multiple Windows

& bottom rails, 3) the same placement of divider rail and 4) the same number of hinges. If window heights vary slightly, modify height measurements or choose another frame application to ensure exact same order height.

9.Shutter Operation Considerations

Obstructions Within the Window Panel Radius (Swing)

When initially inspecting the window, always take note of whether the window tilts in for cleaning. It’s always advised to choose a frame type that allows for the window to freely tilt in for cleaning Also be sure to take note of any obstruction within the window that may inhibit full frame placement, full panel closure and louver tilt.

Panel Radius (Swing)

All hinged shutter panels require floor area to swing open. The larger the width of the panel, the greater the floor space required. Always consider panel radius, furniture placement, panel width, general panel configuration and hinge position when designing a shutter treatment

Over-Sized Panels and Weight Factors

Every window covering product has its optimum operating size-range. When approaching the minimum production .size or the maximum production size, certain operating characteristics and idiosyncrasies begin to emerge. Shutters built within spec, but near the maximum width, height or allowable square footage, will sag to some degree. Shutters built to within spec are warrantied for proper functioning. However, maximum-sized shutters will also require special care and handling when swinging the panels open and closed.

Chapter 13:Installation Accessories

Use hinge shims for minor width adjustments. NOTE: Must be requested from Customer Service.

Hoffman keys are used to join the frame corners.

Use screw caps to cover exposed screw heads. NOTE: Must be requested from Customer Service.

Chapter 14:Panel Configurations and T-Posts

Measuring T-Post Locations

Always start from the left point of measure type to the center of the desired T-Post location.To measure frame-to-frame, measure from the left of the shutter frame to the center of the desired T-Post location.

To measure the window opening, measure from the left inside of the window opening to the center of the desired T-Post location.

If there is more than one T-Post, measure from the left of measure type to the center of first T-Post location, then measure from the left of measure type over to the center of the second T-Post location etc.

EXAMPLE: A-B, A-C, A-DAlways measure from the same point the frame was measured.

EXAMPLE: If measuring for L-Frame, frame-to-frame measure type, A is the outside edge of the L-Frame.

Chapter 15:Working With Divider Rails

(1)There’s never an additional charge for divider rail, whether one is required or not.

Divider Rail Required	Over 1800mm order height
Divider Rail Face-Height
Minimum Louver Set in Each Section	2 louvers	2 louvers
Other Divider Rails Options	Available when not required at no charge  Up to 2 divider rails available, but never required	Available when not required at no charge  Only 1 divider rail available
Divider Rail Placement for 63mm and 89mm Louvers	Will be located as specified on the orde	Will be located as specified on the orde
Divider Rail Placement for 114mm Louvers	Factory may shift up or down as much as 2” to achieve uniform louver spacing	Factory may shift up or down as much as 2” to achieve uniform louver spacing

(2)Measuring Divider Rail Location

Frame type determines measure format (WO or F-F). So, method for measuring for divider rail location

also varies by frame type. Use same measure reference point as used for the larger unit itself

For Direct Mount, Hang

Strip and Z-frames:

Measure from the bottom of the window opening up to the center of the divider rail.

For L-frames and

Deco-frames:

Measure from the bottom of the bottom frame up to the center of the divider rail.

(4) Measuring for Mid Rail

Outside Mount

The Mid Rail is measured from

the bottom of the Frame (or Panel)

to the centre of the Mid Rail

Inside Mount

The Mid Rail is measured from

the bottom of the Window Opening

to the centre of the Mid Rail

(5) Note :

l Select ‘Critical Mid Rail’ for the Mid Rail to be made within +--- 10mm of the height specified, otherwise supplied within half a Louvre size of the height specified.

l When the Mid Rail is selected as Centre, for an uneven Louvre number, by default, one more Louvre will be placed below the Mid Rail, as apposed to below the Mid Rail.

l Mid Rail requirement is measured from the bottom of the bottom rail to the centre of the mid rail and from the top of the top rail to the centre of the mid rail.

Chapter 16:Tilt Options

3 Combinations of Available Options Using Hide-a-Tilt:	SINGLE LOUVER SET		TWO LOUVER SETS Using Divider Rail		TWO LOUVER SETS Using Split Tilt		Reminder Notes:  Special Handling Required: With Split Tilt, the upper and lower louver set can accidentally be positioned at opposing angles where the edges of the louvers touch.  Matching Other Shutters in Same Room: If shutters are not ordered at the exact same height with exact same split, the top and bottom rail sizes may vary between shutter units by as much as 3”.

6 Combinations of Available Options Using Front Tilt Bar:	Without Double Mouse Hole	With Double Mouse Hole	Without Double Mouse Holes	With Double Mouse Hole	Without Double Mouse Holes	With Double Mouse Hole
