COMPONENTRY                                                                                                               SHUTTER PANEL PARTS

MATERIAL

Polyresin 3^® is exterior grade extruded vinyl that is NFPA-701 compliant and won't fade, crack, peel, or warp.  The color is impregnated into the raw material for a consistent even finish for all profiles. All other molded accessories and small components are made of color coordinated nylon or ABS material.

PANEL

All panels are assembled using stile and rail construction.  The stiles are reinforced with either molded plastic, and/or aluminum reinforcement based on the size of the panel. Color coordinated stile end caps conceal fabrication hardware providing a finished look. Horizontal mid rails provide strength for longer panels and divides the shutter into two or more louver sections for maximum light control.

LOUVERS

Elliptical shape louvers (pictured left) are available in three sizes:  2-1/2", 3-1/2" and 4-1/2" widths. The louvers rotate fully in both directions when actuated. Computer positioned louver spacing provides accurate and equal spacing between louvers, creating a uniform look from shutter to shutter. 

 ROTATION SYSTEMS

The Traditional Tilt-Bar System provides a tight

and uniform closure of all louvers at once. This is

located on the front center of each panel.

The optional Clearview^® System  performs

the same function as a tilt-bar, but is hidden

on the back hinge side of the panel.

FRAMES

Five frame options are available and can be configured with two, three, or four sides.  Frame extensions are also available for outside mount frames.

MOUNTING HARDWARE

Manufacturers standard screws allow for an easy and proper installation. All hinges are two part hinges with a removable pin. Painted hinges are powder coated and color coordinated. Brass plated and stainless steel hinges are optional.

ADDITIONAL OPTIONS
