Shutters have had a long history of
protecting windows on the outside,
but they were originally designed for
the inside of a home.
On Tudor (1485–1547) and Elizabethan
(1558–1603) homes, shutters were made of solid
boards and covered only the lower half of the
window openings, where no glass was installed
(glass was expensive in those days.) When open,
fresh air came into the room and the shutters folded
back to look like decorative wall panels. When
closed, usually with a bar across, light still came
through the glazed upper half of the window. By
the late seventeenth century, double-hung windows
were popular. Shutters were still attached inside and
decorative, but they covered the whole window.
During the Victorian period (1837–1901) when
more houses were constructed from wood, shutters
moved outdoors.
The former stone and brick
homes had such deeply recessed windows that
exterior shutters would have been difficult to reach
from inside, but wooden walls could be built much
thinner and exterior shutters could now be accessed
easily from the inside.
By the late nineteenth century, shutters were
used as much for decoration as for their practical
functions of shelter and protection for the glass.
When mechanization entered Victorian millworks,
shutters became more sophisticated.
They were
often louvered or made of narrow horizontal slats
angled to deflect the rain, allow some daylight
window-covering choices eliminated the functional
use of outside shutters.
However, the revival of
Victorian-style housing and the interest in rehabilitating
century-old homes are bringing shutters back into the
limelight as an interior window treatment. They are
often made from wood, with all its inherent problems
of chipping, warping, shrinking and peeling.
Eclipse® Shutters are an extremely durable shutter.
They offer the traditional look of California or
Plantation style shutters without the inherent problems
of wood. Warping, shrinking, chipping, peeling,
and color fading are things of the past with
Eclipse® Shutters.
Eclipse® Shutters offer complete custom window
and door fitting. They are shipped complete with all
frames and hardware ready for mounting. They are
available in four colors: Cotton, Pearl, and Vanilla.
Do not be fooled by the competition. There is only
one Eclipse® Shutter!

Traditional Look
The look and quality your customers demand but at the
cost and durability of Polyresin 3®.
Low Maintenance
The Polyresin 3® Eclipse™ Shutter is easy to clean with just
soap and water.
Environmentally Friendly
Eclipse® Shutters do not destroy our forests. All scrap is
recycled.
Made from Polyresin 3®
A colorfast compound with UV stabilizers designed with
strength and durability, yet retaining a special warmth
and feel. Shutters will not warp, shrink, chip, peel, or
fade and never need painting.
Features & Benefits
Fire Retardant
Polyresin 3® is fire retardant and self-extinguishing. It is
safe to use in residential and commercial applications.
Meets (NFPA701) National Fire Code Standards.
Waterproof
Ideally suited for use above kitchen sinks, bathrooms
or other high humidity areas. Eclipse® Shutters have no
unsightly staples which may rust, and will not warp or
crack due to water exposure.
Additional Insulator
An R-value of 3.40 helps to reduce heating and air conditioning costs and outside noise. Closing the louvers upward
can help keep heat in the home and provide more privacy.

Features & Benefits
Elliptical Louver Sizes
2 1/2”, 3 1/2”, and 4 1/2”
Patented Tilt Bar
Connecting Method
Provides the time honored look associated with shutters.
Louvers can be opened or closed in both directions,
unlike other shutters which are one-directional only. This
method has eliminated unsightly gears or staples which
tend to rust or break.
Aluminum Jamb Inserts
Provides a hidden reinforcement for patio
door shutters and larger shutter panels.
French Door Cutouts
Our French Door Cutout is ideal for adding shutters
to French doors. The Cutout is designed to work with
standard round door handles and lever handles.
Available with 2 1/2” and 3 1/2” louvers.
Patented Clearview
Hidden louver joiners provide an unobstructed view,
giving our classic shutters a clean and contemporary look.
Pre-drilled Frames
Pre-drilled installation holes are strategically
placed on all frames for accurate, quick,
and clean installation.
Patented Seamless Louver Caps
Innovative seamless capping technology eliminates
the seam between the louver body and the end cap,
for a sleek and modern look.
Factory Installed Two Part Hinge System
Quick and easy to install. Allows panels to
be removed easily for cleaning. Panels open
fully for total access to the windows.
Panel Lock
This unique system eliminates the use of magnets. When
panels are closed, a spring-loaded plunger acts as a
ball catch to hold the panels in the closed position.
Light Block and Interlock
Exclusive to Eclipse® Shutters, they provide an
insulating seal and cover unwanted light
gaps between panels.
Frame Grooves
The spring loaded plunger of the panel lock locates in
the integrated groove in all frames. Eliminates the need
for magnets and catch plates.
Adjustable Jamb Cap
If adjustments are required, the screw located
on the bottom of each panel can be threaded
in or out of the cap accordingly. Thread into
the panel until the screw is virtually invisible
when adjustments are not needed. (Available only with
magnet applications)
Exclusive Deluxe Divider Rail
The unique design of this rail integrates a handle which
provides a clean and easy method of opening shutters.
Offered as an option to the existing regular divider rail,
the deluxe divider rail is the ultimate in functionality,
design, and elegance.
Snap and Hold Corner Key
and Notched Frames
Our snap and hold corner key and notched frames were
developed to eliminate the use of glue and provide a
clean, quick and easy installation. All frames, excluding
L-Frame outside mount, with a 45-degree miter are
notched to accept this corner key.
Permanent Finish
Our Polyresin 3® compound features a
permanent finish resistant to dents and
scratches. Should a scratch occur, it can
be removed, without harming the finish.
Warranty
Eclipse® Shutters are backed with a 25 Year Warranty.
Note: Eclipse fabricators reserve the right to refuse
manufacture of out-of-spec or void warranty product.

About the GREENGUARD® Environmental Institute
The GREENGUARD Environmental Institute (GEI) is an industry-independent, non-profit organization that oversees the
GREENGUARD Certification Program. As an ANSI Authorized Standards Developer, GEI establishes acceptable
indoor air standards for indoor products, environments, and buildings. GEI’s mission is to improve public health and
quality of life through programs that improve indoor air. A GEI Advisory Board consisting of independent volunteers,
who are renowned experts in the areas of indoor air quality, public and environmental health, building design and
construction, and public policy, provides guidance and leadership to GEI.
About GREENGUARD® Certification
Product certification program for low emitting interior building materials, furnishings, and finish systems. All
GREENGUARD Certified Products have been tested for their chemical emissions performance and can be found in
the GREENGUARD Online Product Guide.
About GREENGUARD® Gold (for Children & Schools Certification)
A product certification program for low-emitting interior building materials, furnishings, and finish systems used in
educational, office and other sensitive environments. All GREENGUARD Gold products have been tested for their
chemical emissions performance according to CA 01350 and can be found in the GREENGUARD Online Product
Guide.
GREENGUARD Gold program’s minimum requirements comply with the State of California’s Department of Health
Services Standard Practice (CA Section 01350) for testing chemical emissions from building products used in
schools, offices and other sensitive environments. As such, GREENGUARD Gold products can be used as a strategy
to earn valuable credits in the CHPS Best Practices Manual for K-12 schools, U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED
Green Building Rating System, Green Guide for Healthcare, NAHB Green Building Guidelines, Green Globes,
Regreen and numerous other local green building codes.
Children are more heavily exposed to environmental toxins than adults; as a result their exposure levels are the
basis for sensitive environments. They consume more food, water, and have higher inhalation rates per pound of
body weight than adults. To account for inhalation exposure to young children with greater sensitivities, a body
burden correction factor of 0.43 has been applied to current allowable emission levels from indoor materials and
furnishings.
Emission controls are established to define low-emitting materials for environments where people spend extended
periods of time and have children and sensitive adults in residence. These may include schools, daycares,
healthcare facilities and residential and commercial spaces.

25 YEAR WARRANTY
Warranty on Shutter Frame
and Shutter Panel
Shutters are warranted against such defects in material that
might result in blistering, peeling, flaking, corroding, and
fading of the shutter frame or panel members for a period
of twenty-five (25) years from the date of installation.
This Warranty on the Polyresin3® frame and Polyresin3®
panels shall remain in effect only if normal cleaning
practices are followed periodically (see section

warranty applicable to Eclipse® Shutters and is granted in
lieu of any warranties otherwise implied by law or equity
and no such warranties shall apply to Eclipse® Shutters 25
Year Warranty.

2. Warranty Limitations
Exclusions from Warranty Coverage
Maintenance and Cleaning
The following are excluded from coverage
under this Warranty:
a. Exposure to air pollutants and normal atmospheric
conditions may cause all Polyresin3® surfaces to
gradually suffer an accumulation of surface dirt or stains.

under the Eclipse® Warranty.
b. Any defect, malfunction, or failure to perform which has
occurred because of unreasonable use, improper
application, or failure to perform reasonable or
necessary maintenance.
c. Any damage to the shutters or components of the

Café Style
A Café style shutter is a shutter configuration in which the panel or panels do not completely cover
the entire height of the window opening. The frame may be ordered to the same height as the
panel (in 2 or 3 sided frame configurations) or the frame may be ordered at a different height than
the panel (4 sided configurations). In a 4 sided Café Style configuration, please note the ordered
height and width on the Regular Order Form. Under the remarks section of the order form, note the
height of the panel.
If ordering a 3-sided inverted frame in which the panel and frame are the same height, then order
as an “IF”. (Example: P2IF)
P1-L (Shown Below)
Opening
(ordered)
height
Panel height from bottom of shutter frame
or sill to top of panel.
For outside mount, panel height is the measurement from the
bottom of the frame to the top of the panel.

Note: Center line location of divider rails may vary up or down by a maximum of 1” for 2 1/2” louver, by
1 1/2” for 3 1/2” louver, and 2” for 4 1/2” louver. For adjacent openings to have same divider location the
height must be same.
Matching Divider Rail Locations
When divider rails are desired at a similar height from the floor, from window to window, or from room to room,
measure height of center of divider rail from the floor up to the same point on the second window, then measure down
to the bottom of the shutter. This measurement down is the “distance-up.” If you require a specific divider rail location,
please specify in the remarks section on the order form. If it is not possible, we will contact you with the options.

CHOICE OF FRAME SIDES
AND LOUVER
Use the sample shutter panels to
determine proper louver rotation.
Check that your chosen louver will
overcome any obstruction by placing
the frame and panel in front of the
obstructions. It is recommended that
an inside mount have a minimum jamb
depth of 2”. A one sided frame (top)
can be ordered for this application.
Indicate BP in the frame options section of the Order Form. If additional
projection is required, request BP
extension. Each extension is 3/4”.
Measure in three places (top, middle,
bottom) and record the smallest
measurement onto a Eclipse™ Order
Form if the application is for an
inside mount. For an outside mount, a
minimum of 2 1/8” is required to be
added to each side that a frame
is required.
B
3 Diagonal squareness check
3
CHECK FOR SQUARENESS
Measure on the diagonal (see Diagram
B). If the diagonal measurements are
not identical, an inside mount is not
recommended. An alternative way to
check for a perfectly square window,
simply place your panel in each of the
four corners. If you find the panels are
not flush in all corners, the window
opening is not square.
4
ONLY IF A DIVIDER RAIL IS
BEING USED
The measurement recorded is
determined from the bottom sill to
the middle of where the divider rail
is to be located. One divider rail is
required for panels over 60” with a
maximum 50” between the middle
of the divider rail and either top or
bottom rail. Two divider rails are
required for panels over 90” in height
with a maximum 50” between any
two rails.
5
Measure in three places (left, middle,
right) and record the smallest measurement onto a Eclipse™ Order Form if
the application is for an inside mount.
For an outside mount a minimum of
2 1/8” is required to be added to
the top and/or bottom that a frame is
required.
6
CHOICE OF PANEL
CONFIGURATION
Determine from pages F2 to
F5. Complete the remainder of
the Order Form. Sill Frames and
Double Hungs are not applicable with
the By-pass System.

ORDER VALANCE
Make a note under NOTES: Section
of the Order Form. ie. Please send
with Decorative 5” Valance or regular
3 1/2” valance.
F6
1.
FRAME ASSEMBLY
If this is a 2, 3 or 4 sided application, then refer
to Diagram C (See page F8) for frame assembly
instructions. Once the frames are assembled, installation holes are required by using a 3/8” drill bit.
A) For an inside mount, drill a 3/8” hole through
the first layer of vinyl, within the mounting area every
10” starting at each end of the frames.
B) For an outside mount, drill a 3/8” hole through
the first layer of vinyl at the front edge of the reveal of
the frame every 10”.
2. TOP FRAME INSTALLATION
A) For an inside mount, fasten the top frame
to the opening, making sure it is level; shim
to level if necessary.
B) For an outside mount, set the frame against the
wall. Level the top and fasten the top frame to the
wall with the provided installation screws.
3. WHEEL CARRIERS
Insert wheel carriers inside each aluminum track. Two
carriers are assigned to each panel so check the
panel configuration to determine the correct number
of carriers are in each track.
4. ALUMINUM TRACKS
Mount aluminum tracks to the extreme left of the
opening of the frame by screwing through the predrilled holes in the track to the extrusion lines on the
underside of the top frame (See Diagram D on page
F9 and Diagram E on page F10).
5. ATTACH DOUBLE PANELS IF APPLICABLE
When two panels are to be attached, lay panels
face up and side by side on the floor. Remove the
two interior top jamb caps. Insert the panel joiner
by sliding it into the two interior jambs (See Diagram
G on F12). Place the jamb caps back onto the
top jambs.
F7
6. ATTACH OPTIONAL MOUNTING STRIP
A 3/4” x 3/4” mounting strip is mounted at
the back of the interior edge of each front panel. Drill
a 3/8” hole starting at the top every 20” through
the first layer of vinyl. Screw the mounting strip to the
panel and cap with button plugs.
7. HANG SHUTTERS
Push the door plates onto the adjustable nut of the
wheel carriers. Lock the panels in place by rotating
the plastic slide around the neck of the wheel carrier
adjustable nut. To level the panels, turn the adjustable
nut of the wheel carrier with the provided wrench
tool.
8. SECURE SIDE FRAMES IF APPLICABLE
Mount each side frame with the mounting screws
provided so that the frames are plumb to the hanging
panel. Cover the 3/8” holes with the button plugs.
9. ATTACH VALANCE IF APPLICABLE
Drill 3/8” holes through the front layer of the valance
1/2” from the top and every 20” across. Drill the
side returns if necessary. Install with 1/2” screws
provided. Cover the holes with the button plugs. An
alternative option for mounting the valance is to use
catch receivers.
10. OPTIONAL FLOOR GUIDE(S)
Install floor guide(s) in-between each set of moving
panels. The guides prevent the doors from swinging
forward into the room or back into the opening.

CHOICE OF FRAME SIDES
AND LOUVER
Use the shutter panels to determine
proper louver rotation. Check that your
chosen louver will overcome any
obstruction by placing the frame and
panel in front of the obstructions. It is
recommended that an inside mount
have a minimum jamb depth of 2”.
A one sided frame (top) can be
ordered for this application, however,
a 3 or 4 sided frame is recommended
for light gap control. Indicate BF in
the frame options section of the Order
Form. If additional projection required,
request BF extension for outside mount
only. Each extension is 3/4”.
Measure in three places (top, middle,
bottom) and record the smallest measurement onto an Eclipse™ Order
Form if the application is for an
inside mount. For an outside mount, a
minimum of 2 1/8” is required to be
added to each side where a frame
is required, or measure from outside
edge of trim to outside edge of trim.
B
3 Diagonal squareness check
3
CHECK FOR SQUARENESS
Measure on the diagonal
(see Diagram B). If the diagonal
measurements are not identical, an
inside mount is not recommended.
An alternative way to check for a
perfectly square window, simply place
your panel in each of the four corners.
If you find the panels are not flush in
all corners, the window opening is
not square.
4
ONLY IF A DIVIDER RAIL IS
BEING USED
The measurement recorded is determined from the bottom sill to the middle of where the divider rail is to be
located. One divider rail is required
for panels over 60” with a maximum
50” between the middle of the divider
rail and either top or bottom rail. Two
divider rails are required for panels
over 90” in height with a maximum
50” between any two rails.
5
Measure in three places (left, middle,
right) and record the smallest measurement onto an Eclipse™ Order Form if
the application is for an inside mount.
For an outside mount, a minimum of
2 1/8” is required to be added to
the top and/or bottom that a frame
is required, or measure from outside
edge of trim.

CHOICE OF PANEL
CONFIGURATION
Determine from pages G2 to G5, and
complete the Order Form. Sill Frames
and Double Hung are not applicable.

ORDER VALANCE
Make a note under NOTES: section
of the order form. ie. Please send with
Decorative 5” Valance or regular 2
1/2” valance. Note: Decorative 5”
valance will not work if used on a
flush inside mount bi-fold system.

1. FRAME ASSEMBLY
If this is a 2, 3 or 4 sided application go to Diagram C
(See page G8) for frame assembly instructions. Once the
frames are assembled, installation holes are made using
a 3/8” drill bit.
A) For an inside mount, drill a 3/8” hole through the
first layer of vinyl, within the mounting area every
10” starting at each end of the frames.
B) For an outside mount, drill a 3/8” hole through
the first layer of vinyl at the front edge of the frame
every 10”.
2. FRAME INSTALLATION
A) For an inside mount, fasten the top of the frame to
the opening and level. Plumb the side frames and
fasten with the screws provided.
B) For an outside mount. Set the frame against the
wall. Level the top and flatten the frame to the wall
with the installation screws provided.
3. ASSEMBLING OF ALUMINUM TRACK
AND COMPONENTS
A) If the configuration has all the panels stacking to one
side, then the stop bumper is placed on the opposite
side of the unit on the frame. Insert all the carriers then
install the top pivot on the stacking side (See Diagram D
on G9 and Diagram E on G10).
B) If the configuration has the panels stacking to both
sides of track, insert the proper number of wheel carriers.
Install the top pivot at both ends (See Diagram D on G9
and Diagram E on G10).
4. ALUMINUM TRACK
Mount the track by placing the front face of the track
flush with the front of the frame. Screw into the top track
screw holes with the installation screws provided.
G7
®
5. MOUNT THE BOTTOM PIVOT
Mount on the side frame of window jamb, tight to the
floor. Attach to the floor if possible (See Diagram D on
G9 and Diagram E on G10) in line with indicator line
on same side as top pivot.
6. HANG PIVOTING PANEL(S)
First insert the bottom pin into the bottom pivot bracket.
Push the top door plate onto the adjustable nut of the
track bracket. Also push the remaining top door plates
onto the adjustable nut of the wheel carriers. Lock the
panels in place by rotating the plastic slide around
the neck of each adjustable nut. To plumb the panels,
loosen the set nut on the track bracket. Move the panel
until plumb then tighten set nut.
7. HANG REMAINING PANELS
Hang panels from the pivoting panels. Insert all hinge
pins. Adjust the wheel carriers to level by using the
enclosed wrench.
8. JAMB CHANNEL AND STOP BUMPER
Used for one way applications only. The jamb
channel will guide the last panel into position so that
the panels do not sway. Attach the jamb channel
approximately 3” from the bottom side of frame on the
screw indicator line. The jamb channel is installed to
the side that panels close too. The stop bumper is used
to provide tension, so that the panels remain in position
when closed. The stop bumper is installed on the same
side as the jamb channel approximately 1 foot down
from the top, on the screw indicator line. (See Diagram
D on G9 and Diagram E on G10)
9. ATTACH VALANCE IF APPLICABLE Drill 3/8” holes through the front layer of the valance,
3” from the top and every 20” across. Drill the side
returns if necessary, install with 1/2” screws provided.
Cover the holes with button plugs.

Features and Benefits
The Eclipse Specialty Shapes (patent pending) have been uniquely designed to incorporate horizontal louvers which provides
a consistent look with the shutters below. Vertical supports divide larger arches into multiple sections which can also match
the shutter below. By using the same frames, louvers, and tilt control as our traditional shutters, the result is a stunning,
seamless look.

PRICING
Arch pricing is based on either the width or height, which ever is greater (rounded up to the next full inch).
Shipping charges apply. Linear Width (in Inches) x Price Per Linear Inch = Arch Price + Shipping Charges or
Linear Height (in Inches) x Price Per Linear Inch = Arch Price + Shipping Charges
TEMPLATES
Templates are not required unless the radius is inconsistent (see H23 for details). The order form has been designed to
capture the information required for building an arch. It may be necessary to provide a sketch that contains all dimensions
of the opening (see page H17-18 for details).
H1
Features and Benefits
TILT OPTIONS
• Tilt Bar - Available for any arch, either front or rear center or front off set.
• Clearview - Available only if the arch has a full length straight side or a vertical support.
The size and configuration of the shutter will, in many cases, determine the tilt mechanism.
Example: A half-circle with no vertical support would have a tilt bar (either front or rear), but a half-circle with 1 vertical
support could have either Clearview on each section or an off-set tilt bar. See the diagrams below.
Each section of an arch includes its own set of louvers and a tilt mechanism (tilt bar or Clearview).
ARCH PANEL ATTACHMENT
• Panel Lock - spring loaded plungers, lock into a groove in the frame. Ramps are supplied for the bottom frame.
These will act as spacers for the panel.
• Once the frame is installed, the panel snaps into place. Magnets will be supplied to ensure the panel is secure.
• Magnets are used for no frame mounts.

Vertical Support
A Vertical Support is the vertical member of the arch that divides the arch into multiple sections and provides strength and
rigidity. Smaller arches (less than 30”) do not require Vertical Supports but may be ordered with them. Vertical Supports are
required based on width. The specifications are listed below.
VERTICAL SUPPORT REQUIREMENTS
• 0 Vertical Supports = 0” - 30”
• 1 Vertical Support = 30 1/8” - 60”
• 2 Vertical Supports = 60 1/8” - 72”
• 3 Vertical Supports = 72 1/8” - 108”
H14
Vertical Support
When ordering larger shutters that require Vertical Supports or when adding Vertical Supports to smaller shutters, it is important
to remember that there will be a size difference between the Vertical Support, Vertical Jambs, and the T Posts in the shutter
below.
Vertical Support Width = 1 3/4”
(2) Vertical Jamb Widths = 3 1/2”
(2) Vertical Jamb Widths + T Post = 4 1/4”
Example: See diagram below. The two panel shutter has a two section arch above. The Vertical Support in the arch is half
the size of the jambs but is in alignment with the vertical jambs of the panel below.
Note: In order to achieve a consistent look, order the shutter below and the arch above with the same number of panels
and sections. Submit the shutter and arch orders together.

H15
Vertical Support
UNEVEN VERTICAL SUPPORT LOCATIONS
Inside Mount
1. Record the number of sections on the Eclipse Specialty Shape Order Form
2. Measure from the left inside edge of the opening to the center of the first Vertical Support location
3. Record this measurement on the order form under Vertical Support locations
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 measuring from the left edge of the opening to the center of the second Vertical Support
5. Submit the shutter and arch orders together
Note: When 3 vertical supports are ordered with specific locations, the middle vertical support will be in the center
of the arch.
Outside Mount
1. Record the number of sections on the Eclipse Specialty Shape Order Form
2. Measure from the left outside edge of where the arch is to be installed to the center of each Vertical Support location
3. Record this measurement on the order form under Vertical Support locations
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 measuring from the left edge of the opening to the center of the second Vertical Support
5. Submit the shutter and arch orders together
Note: When 3 vertical supports are ordered with specific locations, the middle vertical support will be in the center
of the arch.
Note: The maximum distance between vertical supports is 32 ½”.
H16
Measuring
INSIDE MOUNT
1. Measure the width - measure the inside width of the window frame along the bottom of the opening (A)
2. Measure the height
A) Measure the inside height of the window frame at the center to
the highest vertical point (E)
B) From center point E, measure out every 10” and make a mark
C) At each mark, measure vertically to the edge of the opening
D) Note each vertical dimension on the order form or supply sketch and
include all dimensions
E) See page H18 for details
3. Measure legs
A) Measure from the bottom of where the arch will be located to the point
at which the radius or angle begins (C & D)
B Measure both sides and record the smallest measurement.
3. Depth clearance - ensure there is enough depth clearance to install the arch
and enough room to operate the louvers (specialty shape clearances are the same as standard shutters)
4. Create template for any specialty shape that does not have a consistent radius
5. Framed arch mounted to framed shutter
A) The width of the arch and the width of the shutter below
must be the same dimension
B) Measure the shutter opening to first determine the width
C) Measure the shutter opening and determine the height of the
shutter, mark this point since this will be the measuring
point for the arch
D) Measure the width of the arch from the top of the shutter to the
top of the opening
E) When using the Trim Frame, Deluxe Trim Frame or Z Frame, the
arch must include Sill Frame at the bottom and the shutter must
include Sill Frame at the top
F) If needed, decrease the dimension of the shutter below to allow for proper
fit of the arch
G) Trim Frame and Deluxe Trim Frame are recommended due to the size of the flanges which allows the shutter to be
undersized slightly but ensures the frame will cover the increased gap between the frame and the opening
H17
Measuring
INSIDE MOUNT - INTERMEDIATE HEIGHTS
1. Determine center point across the width of the opening
2. Measure out from the center point every 10” in both
directions and make a mark
3. At each mark, measure vertically to the edge of the
opening (If the measurement is not perpendicular to the
base, the actual dimensions will be inacurate.)
4. Make sure that the corresponding dimensions are the
same or very similar (Ex: Measurements F and G should
be the same, H and I the same, etc.)
5. The specialty shape shutter will be built to fit the smallest
measurement provided.
6. If the order form does not contain enough blanks to
provide all nbecessary information, then please supply a
sketch with all dimensions. Submit sketch along with the
specialty shape order form.
H18
Measuring
OUTSIDE MOUNT
1. Measure the width - measure to the outermost desired point to which the arch frame will extend across the bottom of
the opening (A)
2. Measure the height - me asure from where the outside bottom of the arch will be to the highest point at the center of
the opening (B)
3. Measure legs
A) Measure from the bottom of where the arch will be located to the point at which the radius or angle begins (C & D)
B) For Tunnels and Eyebrows, measure both sides and split the difference if any
4. Depth clearance - ensure there is enough depth clearance to install the arch and enough room to operate the louvers
(specialty shape clearances are the same as standard shutters)
5. Create template for any specialty shape that does not have a consistent radius.
6. Framed arch mounted to framed shutter
A) The width of the arch and the width of the shutter below
must be the same dimension
B) Measure the shutter to first determine the width
C) Measure the shutter and determine the height of the
shutter, mark this point since this will be the measuring
point for the bottom of the arch
D) Measure the height of the arch from the mark indicating
the top of the shutter
E) If needed, adjust the dimension of the shutter below to
allow for proper fit of the arch

Creating a Template (Inside Mount)
CREATING A TEMPLATE FOR AN ARCH SHUTTER - TEMPLATES ARE ONLY REQUIRED FOR
SHAPES THAT DO NOT HAVE A CONSISTENT RADIUS
Note: An arch with an inconsistent radius is one that the radius varies or changes along the arc. Example: the top center of the
arc has a gradual curve while the sides curve sharply. Templates are required in these situations.
1. Use heavy paper such as craft paper or butcher paper
2. Make sure the paper will extend beyond the entire arch window both in width and height (tape multiple sheets together, if
necessary)
3. The paper should be applied with tape (preferably painters tape so that it won’t remove paint from the walls) or thumb
tacks
4. The paper should be smooth and tight over the entire opening
5. Align straight edge of paper with the bottom of the opening
6. Using a pencil, outline or trace the perimeter of the arch
7. Make sure that all lines are clear and precise
8. Once the outline of the arch is complete, remove the template
9. Carefully measure the template for accuaracy
10. If the template is not accurate, then modify the template or remake it
11. Note all dimensions on the room side of the template
A) Width
B) Height (measure perpendicular to the bottom of the opening at the exact center)
C) Side Legs (if applicable)
D) Location of Vertical Supports (if applicable)
12. The measurements of the template, measurements on the template, and the measurements on the order form must all match.
13. Write “front” on the front side of the template (this will be the side of the
paper facing in towards the room when it was attached to the window)
14. The following information must appear on the template:
A) Company Name
B) Customer Account Number
C) Sidemark
D) Purchase Order Number
E) Date
15. Roll the template and send to local fabricator
along with copy of the order form.
(Do not fold template)
Note: Templates will be retained for a period of
12 months, in case of remakes, damages, etc.

good fit and hold the panel in the frame.
Step 12:
Install panel lock ramps along the bottom frame. These are
used as spaces to ensure a consistent gap around the panel.
Step 13:
Magnets will be supplied with each arch depending on size.
The magnets are used to help ensure the panel remains
secure in the frame. Attach a magnet to the top center of the
opening or evenly space magnets across the top frame.

ARCH FRAME INSTALLATION - NO FRAME (INSIDE MOUNT ONLY)
Step 1:
Step 2:
Set the arch panel in the opening and make sure that it is
centered.
Step 3:
Mark the position of the left and right edges of the panel on
the bottom of the opening.
Step 4:
Measure in from each mark ½”. This will be the distance in
from the outside edge of the opening where the magnet will
be installed.
Step 5:
From the mark made in step 4, measure 1 3/8” from the
front of the opening. The front of the magnet will be placed
behind this mark.
Note: Any magnet that is attached to a Vertical Support
should be positioned 1¼” from the front of the opening.
Step 8:
With the panel removed, measure in ½” from the bottom
edge of the panel on the back side.
Step 9:
Using the mark in Step 8, align the strike plate with the mark
and attach the plate with the screws provided.
Step 10:
Locate any remaining strike plates on the back of the panel.
Step 11:
Set the arch panel back in the opening and mark any
remaining magnet locations on the window opening.
Step 6:
Attach magnets to the opening with the supplied magnet
screws.
Step 7:
Repeat Step 5 for the top center magnet.
H27
Step 12:
Repeat steps 5 and 6 for all remaining magnets.

A 2 sided frame will be a frame on the left and the
right unless otherwise specified. The most common 2
sided frame applications with the frames on the sides
are the 2 sided bay and bow windows. A 2 sided
frame can also have the frame top and bottom only.
This application is normally a French Door shutter
and the indication of P1FD in the Type section will
tell the computer to invert the two frames from two
sides to a top and bottom. A 3 sided frame will be a
frame on the top and both sides unless otherwise
indicated. This application is normally a Patio P4D or
a window that has a sill. To have the 3 sided frame
as a bottom and two sides indicate IF (inverted) after
the number of panels in the Type section. This IF will
tell the computer to invert to bottom and two sides.
Also the inverted applications are illustrated in
Section B – Panel Styles. A 4 sided frame is the most
common, and recommended, application.
11. Frame Extension:
Extends the frame into the room for an outside mount
only. L-Frame extensions are 1/2” and more than
one may be requested. The Casing Frame extension
is 3/4” and only one may be requested.

12. Cover Strip:
Available for casing frame to cover the gap
created behind the frame when mounting on top of
window trim. Cover strip is also available for an
inside mount L-Frame application. It covers the gap
between the opening and the frame. This is used
only if Dap is not going to be used.
13. Sill Frame:
Available for the Trim, Deluxe Trim and Z-Frames.
It is usually placed at the bottom. For top or side
placement, note in the Remarks section.
14. Divider Rail:
Adds support to the panel to prevent sagging. Page
A10 shows the specifications to decide on rails and
D4 informs how to calculate distance up.
15. Hinges:
Are available in 4 color choices (Cotton, Pearl,
Brass and Stainless Steel). Extended hinges are only
available on panels without frames. Refer to Section
J – Installation for complete information.
16. Panel Lock:
The panel lock system replaces magnets as the
means of keeping the panel in the closed position.
Uneven Panel Widths:
Unless otherwise indicated the panels widths are made equal.
If the window opening dictates that different panel widths are
required for the opening, then enter the specific widths in this
section of the Order Form.

are to be split. For an outside mount, the distance is from the
bottom of the selected frame to where the panel is to be split.
For an inside mount, the distance is from the sill to where the
panel is to be split.
Double Hung Application Horizontal T-Post:
A horizontal T-Post is mounted below the top panel and
above the bottom panel to allow for panel lock or magnets to be
installed as well as for light block purposes. It is important to ensure
that the horizontal T-post has an area that it can be supported
in the middle so that it does not sag. If the T-post is requested,
simply indicate Y and if not indicate N.

T-Posts
1. T-POSTS
• T-Posts are used as a divider to hinge single or
bi-fold panels when openings are too wide to
hinge panels from the side. T-Posts can be
placed directly in front of any existing
window divider.
2. IF MOUNTING DIRECTLY
TO THE WINDOW MULLIONS
• Drill 3/8” holes through the first layer of
Polyresin3® at the front face of the T-Post.
Start approximately 2” from the top and
drill hole approximately every 10-15 inches.
• Secure the T-Post by screwing in the top and
bottom holes.
• Hang panels to the T-Post or hang panels
side-by-side against T-Post to ensure even
sight lines and all is level.
• Screw in the remainder of the holes.
• Cap with button plugs.
3. IF MOUNTING USING L-BRACKETS
• Attach L-Brackets to the T-Posts. Ensure that
brackets are placed at the back side of the
T-Post so that the bracket screw goes through
the screw post in the T-Post. The stop hole is
positioned at the top left and bottom right side.
J7
• Screw brackets into position on top right and
bottom left side, centering the screw into the
L-Bracket. This will allow some play for
leveling purposes.
• Hang panels and adjust T-Post positioning until
sight lines and leveling is achieved.
• Lock T-Post into position by setting screws through
the stop holes in the L-Bracket.
4. IF MOUNTING USING ALIGNMENT BLOCKS
• Stack two T Post Alignment Blocks.
• Position on the frame so that the holes in the blocks are lined
up with the pre-drilled holes in the bottom frame.
• Using #6 x 1 3/4” screws, attach the blocks to the frame.
• Repeat for the top frame.
• Assemble frame.
• After the frame is installed and the position of the T Post
is determined, set a #8 x 1 1/2” installation screw horizontally
through the pre-drilled hole in the side of the T Post at the bottom.
• Repeat the above step and cover holes with button plugs.
• See pages J8 and J9 for additional details.

1. ATTACH T POST BLOCKS TO FRAME
• Stack two T Post Alignment Blocks, both with the
tabs facing down. (See page J9)
• Lay out the top frame so that the light block is facing
up.
• Two holes have been pre-drilled diagonally in the
face of the top frame at each T Post location.
• Position the stacked blocks on the light block portion
of the frame so that the holes in the block align with
the pre-drilled holes in the frame. (The tabs will
hang off the edge of the light block.)
• Using (2) #6 x 1 3/4” T Post block screws, attach the
blocks to the frame. Do not completely tighten the
screws down, only make them snug. This will allow
some side to side adjustment of the T Post.
2. ASSEMBLE FRAME AND T POST
• Insert the corner keys into the top frame.
• Attach the left side frame to the top frame.
• Attach the right side frame to the top frame.
• Attach T Post to the top frame by sliding the T Post
over the blocks on the top frame.
• If aluminum reinforcement was requested for the T Post,
make sure it is positioned properly within the T Post.
3. BEGIN INSTALLING THE SHUTTER
• Begin by installing the shutter as a standard 3-sided
frame but install only the top screw on each side
frame and one bottom screw if necessary.
• Test the fit and position of the panels to determine the
location of the T Post.
• Mark the front and center of the T Post with a pencil on
the sill.
• Mark the back of the T Post with a pencil on the sill.
• Remove the panels and the frame.
• Stack two T Post Alignment Blocks, one with the tab
facing up and one with the tab facing down.
(as pictured below)
• Attach two stacked T Post blocks to the sill so that the
back of the “trough” of the block is 1 1/4” from the front
center mark of the T Post.
• Use (2) #6 x 1 3/4” T Post Block Screws to attach the
blocks to the sill. Do not fully tighten the screws - they
should only be snug.
• Set the assembled frame back in the opening making
sure the bottom of the T Post slides over the blocks on the
sill.
• Finish installing the frame and then hang the panels.
4. ALIGN T POST AND SECURE
• Determine the side to side position of the T Post, then
drive a #8 x 1 1/2” installation screw horizontally
through the hole in the end of the T Post.
• The screw will then pass between the (2) T Post Blocks,
thus locking the T Post into position.
• Repeat for the top of the T Post and cap installation holes
with button covers.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Panels won’t stay closed!
Check panel lock.
Check to ensure that the panel lock plunger is seated properly
in the panel lock ramp. Typical situations that could prevent this
from seating properly are:
1. The panel lock plunger is too far inside the panel. Open
the panel to access the panel lock plunger located at
either end of the panel. Using a flathead screwdriver,
push in on the plunger, then rotate 1/2 turn. Release the
plunger, close panel and check closure. Repeat until
panel closes properly.
2. The plunger does not sit in the “dip” in the ramp. Using a
pencil, mark the center of the plunger on the frame. Open
the panel to access the ramp. Remove screws and
relocate ramp by aligning the center of the ramp with the
mark on the frame. The back of the ramp will sit against
the light block portion of the frame. Note: Previous screw
holes may need to be capped or filled with Dap.
3. Check plunger and jamb cap alignment. The plunger is
designed to lock into grooves on the jamb cap to prevent
unwanted rotation. If they are not aligned, the plunger will
sit inside the cap. To adjust, open the panel to access the
panel lock plunger. Using a flathead screwdriver, rotate
the plunger until the plunger and cap are in proper
alignment. The plunger should now extend beyond the
panel and make contact with the ramp.
Check the number of magnets. (if applicable)
To maximize the closure of the panels, two magnets should
be placed on each panel. There are situations that only one
magnet is used – Patio Doors or Café Style applications.
Refer to the magnet installation Section (J) in the manual for
proper placement of magnets. A Bi-fold also uses two magnets
per panel. Always ensure that the magnet plates are positioned
on the horizontal rail opposite the hinge side.
K3
Check magnet contact. (if applicable)
Check to ensure the magnet and magnet plate have full
contact with each other. Typical situations that could prevent
the full contact from occurring are:
1. Magnet and magnet plate are installed
with only partial contact with each other.
The magnet or magnet plate may have to
be moved left or right to ensure better contact
or the magnet plate may have to be raised
on the panel if only half of the magnet is in
contact with the magnet plate.
2. Magnet has been installed on a slight angle
with only one side of the magnet touching
the magnet plate. Each magnet has a slot
to allow each magnet side to be moved
slightly forward or backwards. Loosen one
of the screws on the magnet to allow the
magnet to be straightened to allow for
proper contact with magnet plate.
3. Magnet plate has been installed too high
on the panel causing the magnet to contact
the magnet plate installation screw. Take out
magnet plate screws and install the plate
lower on the panel. It is important to remove
the excess Polyresin3® around the screw holes with
an Xacto knife. If excess Polyresin3® is not
removed, it will not allow the plate to be
installed flat on the panel.
4. Magnet plate is not flush with panel which
is preventing full contact. See above for
situations where the magnet plate has
already been moved. For installations
without frame, if the magnet plate with the
rubber shim has been over tightened, the
plate may sit on an angle. Loosen the
magnet plate screw slightly to allow the
magnet plate to eliminate the angle.

Panels won’t stay closed!
Check panel load.
Load is created when the installation of a panel is not plumb. If
installed out of plumb, there is pressure put on the vertical jamb,
which forces the door to open with a spring back effect. If the
load is excessive, there is a possibility the louvers will be
difficult to close. Adjusting the load can be resolved by one of
the following ways:
1. If load is detected with no frame, then shims
will be required to plumb the panel
installation. Start by focusing on the top and
bottom hinge only. Remove all other hinge
pins. Shim the top or the bottom hinge on
the window jamb until the panel closes
without springing back and the louvers
operate without resistance. Then concentrate
on shimming one hinge at a time testing for
spring back and louver operation.
2. If load is detected with frame applications,
then adjustments are done by tightening or
loosening the installation screws on the
frame. Do not use shims. Start by removing
all the installation screws except for the top.
Re-install the bottom installation screw until
there is no load. Continue with all other
installation screws, one at a time, while
checking for load.
3. If there is load on a Bi-fold panel, deal with
the first hinge panel only, then attach the
Bi-fold panel after the panel is installed
properly.
Check for obstructions.
If something is stopping the panel from closing, it is called an
obstruction. Please check for the following possible obstructions:
1. Window cranks are usually located on the
bottom sill. If panel is hitting the crank, there
are a number of possible solutions. Take the
crank off the rotator and see if the panel is still
obstructed. A small hole in the bottom rail may
be cut out so that the small head of the crank
will fit inside the panel rail. For panels without
frame, an extension hinge may be used to
bring the panel into the room an extra 5/8”.
For panels with frame, a build out may be
required behind the frame.
2. Window locks are usually located on the
vertical sides of the window to lock the window.
If the lock is in the way of the panel, extend
the panel into the room as discussed in the
above situation.
3. Patio door handles typically create obstruction
with louvers opening. If they stop the panels
from closing, the product needs to be built out.
4. Bowed jambs or sills may stop a panel from
closing, if the narrowest measurement was not
taken in the first place. Double check inside
measurements versus the measurements ordered
and received to ensure the proper application.
Check for a twisted panel.
There are times when the panel is received twisted. This can
occur when something was leaned against or put on top of
the panel prior to installation. It can also occur if panels have
been stored in an extremely hot location. An advantage of
Polyresin3® is that it allows a simple tweaking procedure to put
the panel back to its original state. To tweak a panel, place a
support hand in the middle of the outside jamb of the panel.
Take your other hand and place it on either the top or bottom of
the panel. Apply pressure to either the top or bottom (like bending it back into position) until the panel stays closed.

Bay Window
TROUBLESHOOTING
Panels are too tight!
Ensure the panel width is correct.
If a panel is made or ordered too wide then it can be cut down
to fit. To determine a manufacturing or ordering error, check the
measurement of the panel versus the measurement on the label.
If the label measurements are correct then measure the inside
width of the opening in three locations to verify minimum
opening width was ordered.
Ensure the frame width is correct.
If the frame is manufactured too small, the panels will be too
tight. To find out if the frames are narrow, measure the back
installation part of the frame. To determine if the deduction was
correct, check with the fabrication site for specific deductions.
K5
Ensure the frame is installed properly.
When a frame is installed as an inside mount, the installation
screws initially draw the frame inside the opening. As the screw
is driven towards the frame, it draws the frame towards the window frame. To check if the installation screw has been drilled in
enough, simply measure the top or bottom width and compare
it to the a width where the panel looks to be too wide. If the
frames are not assembled correctly, they may cause the inside
opening of the frame to seem too narrow hence making the
panels too tight.
Is panel installed in the correct opening?
When a number of windows are of similar width, panels can
be placed into the wrong opening or with the incorrect panel
grouping. Check the labels to ensure they correspond with the
opening, as well as the instructions given by the Order Form.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Bay Window
Louvers are too tight!
Check louver widths.
There should be some play between louvers and vertical jambs.
Move the louvers side to side. If there are some louvers that
appear to be tighter, measure a variety of louvers to ensure
they are all the same width. If not, then it is a manufacturing
error that requires the louvers to be replaced or cut down.
Check rail widths.
Measure all horizontals rails including any divider rails to
ensure that all are exactly the same width.
Have rails been over tightened?
If there is less play near any rail and the louver widths have
been checked for deficiencies, then there is a possibility the
screws that attach the vertical jambs to the rails have been
over tightened. To loosen the screws, remove a jamb cap and
slide the light block out. This will expose the assembly holes.
Use a # 8 Robertson drill bit to release the tightness.
Check for panel load.

Louvers are warped!
Check oversize specifications.
Eclipse® will make products over its maximum size specifications
with a void warranty authorization. If a single panel is over 36”
wide, there is no warranty on warping or sagging.
K7
Check tolerances.
Although a product is made within specifications, the process of
fabrication can result in a slight variance of tolerances.
1. Through the fabrication process, the holes in
the vertical jamb have a tolerance of 1/100
of an inch. While this may not seem to be
much, it may cause slight variations in light
penetration when the louvers are closed, as
the louvers would overlap slightly in different
locations.
2. The product is manufactured as a window
covering that offers light control. While the
product is extruded with reinforcement and
additional louver support is provided at
specified widths, the product will not
overcome the natural effects of gravity and
heat. Gravity will have a slight effect
the wider the panel. Temperature change
will naturally expand and contract Polyresin3®.
The product should never have a variation on
the level of more than 1/16”
3. While shutters are designed to be room darkening, they
are not designed to be blackout.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Bay Window
Louvers need more tension!
Check for tension rods.
Tension rods are only used to provide tension
when product is manufactured with tilt bars. Tension is
automatically present with the design of the Clearview
joiners. Tension rods are used to provide stability in
ensuring that the louvers stay open when positioned
horizontally. A slight fluctuation in position is normal.
To ensure that tension rods were initially installed at
assembly, remove one of the jamb caps opposite the
hinge and look inside to see if a three-sided piece of
Polyresin3® is inserted into the vertical jamb.

Louver Cap
Tension Rod
Proper tension can only be determined after
panel has been fully assembled.
Place vertical cap in position after tension
has been adjusted.
The tension on the louvers is decreased by
inserting a shorter length of tension rod, and
increased by inserting a longer length of
tension rod.
In a panel with a divider rail, tension
adjustments must be done on both sides
of the divider rail.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Panels are sagging!
Check oversize specifications.
Eclipse® will make products over its maximum size specifications. When a product is manufactured oversize, the warranty
is void regarding sagging of the product. The two specified
overrides would be as follows:
1. The maximum panel width is 36” wide.
Anything over that width is void of sagging warranty.
2. The maximum square foot per single panel is 15
and a Bi-fold panel is 12.5 per panel.
Check divider rail requirements.
Eclipse® will make products up to 60” high without the need of
divider rail support. If the panel is over 60” high, one divider
rail is required and if the panel is over 90” high a second
divider rail is necessary. If two divider rails are required, there
cannot be over 50” between them. There cannot be 50”
between any divider rail and head/bottom rail.
Check for jamb reinforcement.
Panel jambs are reinforced with either a 6” or 26” support.
Panels over 20” wide require 6” supports and panel over 60”
in length will require 26” supports. Check hinge side only.
Lack of support requires repair.
K9
Check the plumb of the installation.
If the vertical jambs are not plumb, the panels can appear
to be sagging.
1. Measure the top width and the bottom width to
see if there is any variation. If the variation is
wider at the bottom, the distance has to be
made the same as the top.
2. If the top and bottom widths are the same, check
the diagonal. If uneven, an adjustment to the
plumb is required to assist in leveling the panel.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Louvers are not working properly!
Check for panel load.
load is excessive, there will also be a possibility of the louvers
being difficult to close. This may cause the Clearview joiners to
become damaged or breaking apart. Adjusting the load can be
resolved by one of the following ways:
1. If load is detected with no frame, shims will
be required to plumb the panel installation.
Start by focusing on the top and bottom hinge
only. Remove all other hinge pins. Shim the top
or the bottom hinge on the window jamb until
the panel closes without springing back and
the louvers operate without resistance. Then
concentrate on shimming any remaining hinges,
while testing for spring back and louver operation.
2. If load is detected with frame applications,
the adjustments are done by tightening or
loosening the installation screws on the frame.
Do not use shims. Start by removing all the
installation screws except for the top. Re-install
the bottom installation screw until there is no
load. Continue with all other installation screws,
one at a time, and checking for load.
3. If there is load on a Bi-fold panel, deal with
the first hinged panel only, then attach the
Bi-fold panel after the panel is installed properly.
Check connectors.
Connectors attach the louvers to a single operator.
1. Clearview joiners attach to the louvers at
the back of the panel. Ensure that the joiners
are securely attached and not bent. If the
joiners easily separate, they could be
defective, hence replace with new joiners.
2. If the louvers tilt properly, yet cannot close tight
because it springs back open slightly, then the
joiners are defective. To correct, simply
remove one of the Clearview joiners.
3. Tilt bar connectors are attached to each louver
and covered with a tilt bar. If the tilt bar connector is
detached from the louver, simply snap the connectors
back into the louvers. Typical damage to tilt bar
connectors is a result of opening the panels
by the tilt bar.
K10
TROUBLESHOOTING
Louvers are not working properly!
Replacing Damaged Tilt Bar Connectors
1. Remove tilt bar cap. It may be tight, so

2. Slide tilt bar off connectors.
3. Remove broken connector(s).
4. Replace connector in slat groove by holding the louver
and snapping the new connector into the T-shaped notch

TROUBLESHOOTING
Louvers are discoloring!
Check for residue build-up.
The Polyresin3® material will not discolor and is warranted not to. Any situation of discoloration is a
direct result of residue from a cleaner or natural build-up (smoke, dust or oil furnace). This product
should be cleaned only with soap and water or a recommended vinyl cleaner. To prove
discoloration is a result of build-up, an abrasive cleaner should be enough to take any build-up off the
panel. If it is felt that the panels are discolored and warranted to be repaired or remade, the panels
should be sent to our laboratory for analysis. Any costs related to the tests for non-warranty issues will
be the responsibility of the consumer.
K12
TROUBLESHOOTING
Product is scratched!
Check for pull lines.
Pull lines are an inherent bi-product of the extrusion process. Polyresin3® pellets are softened to be able to be pulled through the
extrusion machinery. It would be cost prohibitive to pull the Polyresin3® through the machinery at a slow enough rate that would
eliminate pull lines. The pull lines are similar to wood grains in the fact that they follow the same direction of the process. They
are not defective issues.
Check for shine lines.
Shine lines are another inherent bi-product of the extrusion process. While the softened Polyresin3® pellets are being pulled
through the machinery, some of the pellets create a different sheen. These shine lines can run in any direction and are
impossible to control. They are not defective issues.
Check for surface inconsistencies.
To determine if the apparent scratch is a line or scratch simply run your finger over the area. Touch will in most cases determine
any imperfection.
