Shutter Reference Guide
August 2014
Overview
American-Made Because It Matters
All shutters are manufactured in Houston Texas in a state-of-the-art 125,000 square foot facility. “Made
in the USA” offers great advantages to you. Manufacturing time is approximately 14 days. From this
central U.S. location, you’ll receive your custom-made shutters in 3 – 4 weeks (inclusive of shipping
time). You’ll also have the comfort of knowing that U.S. standards of quality and manufacturing are
built-in.
Installation-Driven Manufacturing
Our processes are designed with one primary goal in mind: ensure the installation will be simple,
efficient and successful. From pre-assembled frames to our unique methodology in shipping, you’ll
experience a level of understanding and care that is uncommon in the industry.
Highlights
Finishes: All finishes, paints and stains, are environmentally friendly water-borne coatings with UV
inhibitors.
Frames: A variety of frames are offered for both inside-mount and face-mount installations. Face
mount should be the preferred option whenever possible as it eliminates out of squareness issues and
solves tilt-in window and moveable screen complexities. See frame schematics for detailed dimension
specifications.
Arched Panels, Sunbursts & Special Shapes: All louvers are functional. No stationary louvers. Shutters
offer the best solution to match the architectural design of the windows and are also a perfect option
for any complicated window scenarios.
Economy Post Oak Arches: See details on our economy solutions for arched windows.
Clearview Feature: Our proprietary design features a laser-cut steel strip offset on the rear of the
shutter. For painted shutters, the strip will be painted the same color as the shutter. For stain shutters,
the strip will be a nickel-colored finish.

Overview (Continued)
Shutter Types
Premium Hardwood Paint Grade: Paint grade shutters and frames are manufactured from kiln dried
hardwoods, typically poplar. Some nonlinear components, such as arched top rails, certain arched
frames and tilt rods are manufactured from ABS synthetic materials.
Premium Hardwood Stain Grade: Stain grade shutters and frames are manufactured from kiln dried
basswood, which is harvested from estate farmed U.S. forests.

Tilt Options
Clearview Feature – Hidden
(Rear) Tilt Control
Classic Style – Front Tilt Control
Classic Style – Front Tilt Control: All louvers are connected to the front tilt rod, which is positioned in
the center of the panel. Touch a louver or the tilt rod to move all louvers within the panel. An offset
Classic Style Front Tilt Control is available upon request.
Clearview Feature – Hidden (Rear) Tilt Control: All louvers are connected to a rear tilt mechanism,
which is a laser cut steel strip offset to the side of the panel. Touch any louver to move all louvers
within the panel. Benefits: Cleaner appearance; updated look. Staple repairs will never be required.

Louver Sizes
2-1/2” Louver
3-1/2” Louver
4-1/2” Louver
Louver Size Options: All louver sizes are available in our Premium Hardwood Shutters, both paint and
stained finishes.
Louver Size Considerations: The selection of louver size has a major impact on the design aesthetic as
the photographs above demonstrate. In selecting the louver size, keep in mind the available clearance
depth in the window or door. You will need to make certain your frame choice will accommodate the
depth requirements for the louver size. Refer to our Louver Clearance Diagram for more information.

Dealer Guide.2014
Louver Clearance
Louver clearance is a critical element to measuring shutters correctly. Please see the diagrams below as
a guideline, these are minimum requirements. When measuring, be sure to account for mullions, locks,
crank handles, and other obstructions that may interfere with pivot of louvers.

Divider Rails
Divider Rails: Serve two primary purposes
1. Block horizontal mullions in the window from sight and may even be used to block obtrusions
that interfere with louver movement.
a. Panels greater than 30” in width require a divider rail over 72” in height.
b. Panels less than or equal to 30” in width require a divider rail over 84” in height.
c. Panels greater than 98” in height MUST be double hung. Only one divider rail per shutter
panel is available.
2. Increases panel stability in tall panels. Divider rails are required for panels over 84” in height for
Premium Hardwood and 72” in height.
Notes: Variances of up to 1” can occur from the provided divider rail dimension as it is a function of the
overall height and the louver spacing. We offer one divider rail per panel; no “double divider” rails.
Measuring for Divider Rails:
Window Size Measurements: Record measurement from the bottom of the window opening to the
desired center point of the divider rail.
OD Measurements: Record measurement from the bottom of the frame to the desired center point of
the divider rail.
Divider Rails Sizes: The divider rail is 3” in height.

Door Handle Modifications
Style and Frame
May be wider on the Cut-Out side
Door Handle Obstructions: The Door Handle Measuring Diagram is required to ensure all dimensions
needed for manufacturing are specified. The size (width and height) of the modification will be
customized based on your measurements. Factors to keep in mind:


Upper deadbolt locksets sometimes require frame modifications as well.
Side by side door configurations: the frame modifications will not match if the hardware
locations are different. Alert the Homeowner on the front end.

Bi-Pass Sliding Track Systems
Bi-Pass Sliding Track Systems: Shutter panels in a Bi-Pass Track System are not hinged. Instead, they
slide on top tracks to open and close. Two tracks are required so that the panels can slide past each
other. When two panels slide in the same direction on one track, they will be screwed together. Note:
The louvers must be in the closed position to slide one panel in front of another. The panels have glides
positioned on the bottom to prevent panel swing when sliding. A valance covers the track system.
Double and Triple track systems are available.
Installation: The track is installed directly into the wall above the door. The frames will be 3 sided. You
will not need to install anything directly into the floor.


Dealer Guide.2014
Bi-Fold Sliding Track Systems
Bi-Fold Sliding Track Systems: Shutter panels in a Bi-Fold Sliding Track System are mounted onto a top
track, which supports the hinged panels and guides their folding movement. Up to eight panels may be
hinged together in a bi-fold sliding track system. A valance covers the track system.
Installation: The track is installed directly into the wall above the door. The frames will be 3 sided. You
will not need to install anything directly into the floor.

Arch & Angle Windows
Grand Style Arched Panels
Description: Common shapes are full radius, eyebrow (lazy), quarter circle and rake-top, but the Grand
Style arch can be customized for nearly any shape you will find. Louvers will be moveable, in full or part.
The slope of the arch determines the extent of louver operation. Provide photographs & templates for
any unusual configurations or shapes.

Dealer Guide.2014
Post Oak Arches
Description: The economy Post Oak arch was created to accommodate arched windows at a more
affordable price. Front facing garage windows, upstairs game rooms or children’s bedrooms are
common applications. The arched portion of each panel is fitted with a solid MDF insert and the louver
shape is etched into the insert on the front and the back. The solid insert replaces any and all louvers in
the curved portion of the panel. Note: On a 4 panel configuration, the inserts will not line up
horizontally since the curved portion differs between the inner and outer panels.


11
Dealer Guide.2014
Sunbursts
Description: Sunbursts can be customized for most arched window scenarios within certain minimum
and maximum guidelines (see chart below). The most common types are full radius, eyebrow (lazy) and
quarter circle. Each louver in the sunburst is independently moveable. The louvers are spring-loaded
and lift out if needed.
Notes: Sunburst applications include free standing, with or without a windowsill, or above shutter
panels.

Frame Specifications - Wood
Beaded L Frame
Inside Mount L Frame Application: Recommended only when squareness is within ¼” tolerance.
Proceed with caution in selecting this type of installation. Gaps between the outer edge of the frame
and the casement may require caulking. Not recommended for stain applications. Installation will likely
prohibit operation of tilt in windows or removal of window screens.
Outside Face Mount L Frame Application: Excellent for mounting on top of trim or sheetrock and for
use with paint or stain grade applications. Hides out of squareness and allows for tilt in window
operation or removable screens.
Frame Notes: All frames are manufactured as 4 sided. If a windowsill is specified, the bottom frame
side will rest on top of the windowsill.

Measuring
Inside Mount
Step 1: Measure window DEPTH for louver clearance (see chart)
Step 2: Measure window WIDTH in three places (top, middle and bottom). Record the smallest
measurement for INSIDE MOUNTS or the largest measurement for OUTSIDE FACE MOUNTS.
Step 3: Measure window HEIGHT in three places (left, middle and right). Record the smallest
measurement for INSIDE MOUNTS or the largest measurement for OUTSIDE FACE MOUNTS.
Step 4: Check for squareness by measuring the diagonals. These measurements should not differ by
more than ½”. If a bigger variance is recorded, face mount is recommended.
Factory Deductions: Clearance deductions of 1/8” on width and 3/16” on height will be taken by the
factory when inside mount is noted on the order form.

Installation
General
Our goal is to provide you with shutter panels and frames that facilitate a smooth installation process.
Steps:
1. Open the panels in the frame and pre-drill the mounting screw holes.
2. Place framed shutter in the window opening. If a windowsill is in place, you may rest the
shutters and frame on the sill for support. If there is not a windowsill, you can carefully remove
the hinge pins and remove the panels from the frames. In this manner, you can install the frame
first and then slide in the panels. This method is also appropriate for larger openings or
installations that require a ladder.
3. Attach the frame securely to the wall starting with the top hinge of the opening.
4. Place the panels in the frame (if removed in step 2).
5. Close panels to check the fit and see if shimming or adjusting is necessary. As much as possible,
the clearance gaps between the frame and the panels should be even all around and the panels
should line up at the top.
6. Once satisfied, fasten the remaining frame screws, hinge side first, then magnet side. Take care
to keep frame legs straight.
