Shutter Panel Components
- Structural Reinforcement: Vertical jambs (stiles) include molded or aluminum inserts to provide additional support and strength.
- Horizontal Rails: Every panel is engineered with a Top Rail and a Bottom Rail for complete structural integrity.
- Louver Design: Panels use Elliptical Louvers to manage light and visibility.
- Internal Strength: Aluminum inserts are added to louvers for reinforcement at 20" intervals when required by the width of the treatment.
- Panel Closure: This unique system eliminates the use of magnets. When panels are closed, a spring-loaded plunger with roller acts as a ball catch to hold the panels in the closed position..
Tilt & Operation Systems
- Front Tilt Bar: This traditional system uses a visible tilt bar attached to the front of the louvers with cufflinks and caps for manual operation.
- Hidden Gear System: A clean, modern operation where the gear assembly is located entirely inside the vertical jamb, removing the need for visible tilt rods.
Divider Rail Specifications
- Divider Rail Function: These rails separate top and bottom louver sections within a single panel, allowing for independent light control.
- Regular Divider Rail: A standard profile used for structural stability and light management.
