6 The History of Shutters Shutters have had a long history of protecting windows on the outside, but they were originally designed for the inside of a home. In Tudor ( ) and Elizabethan ( ) times glass was very expensive, and was therefore only installed on the top half of windows, the bottom half being covered with shutters. These shutters were made of boards, 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 now covered the whole window. During the Victorian period ( ) when more houses were constructed from wood, shutters moved outdoors. The former stone and brick homes had such deeply recessed windows that 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 mechanisation entered Victorian millworks, shutters became more sophisticated. They light through and provide adequate ventilation. In the 1980s, window technology and window covering choices eliminated the need for 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 on going maintenance problems of chipping, warping, shrinking and peeling. Hunter Douglas Polyresin Shutters are an extremely durable shutter.

Obstructions When measuring, account for obstructions such as protruding window cranks and window sills. Protruding cranks may be replaced with T-handles, or can be accommodated with extensions for use with outside mounts (refer to Section C-Clearance Charts). Shutters may be installed on top of sills using either three or four sided frames, or using four sided L-Frames with added extensions. Use your sample panels and frames from your sales bag to ensure correct clearances. Depth clearances This is the depth of window recess required for trouble free louvre operation. Measure the clearance required for desired application (refer to Section C- Clearances) Use the sample panels and frames from your Sales bag to ensure accuracy. Single panels (shown as L or R) Single panels look better when ordered in widths between 381mm and 610mm. For best results, we recommend that widths greater than 820mm be ordered as two panels (P2) instead of one panel (P1). The minimum single panel width is 152mm and the maximum single panel width is 820mm. Note: Warranty is void on oversized panels. Bi-fold panels (shown as LL [Left Bi-fold] or RR [Right Bi-fold]) A maximum of two panels may be hinged together. The combined widths may not exceed 1219mm. D1

Record number of panels and hinge style (i.e., P4-LLRR). 4. Measure from the left side: A. From the left edge of the frame to the right edge a Recess mount. B. For any middle panels measure from the left edge to the right edge of each panel. C. For the right panel, measure from the leftedge of the last panel to the right edge of the frame for a Face mount, or to the right inside opening for a Recess mount. 5.

59 Importance of Height Consistency 1) a top rail 2) a bottom rail 3) a number of evenly spaced louvres 4) a divider rail if over 1500mm tall well as maintain an equal number of louvres and in adjacent shutters, all shutters must be ordered the same height. If the height measurements differ,apply one of the three options below: For Recess mount without frame or L-Frame, reduce taller height measurement by 3mm max.; order shutters same height. 2 For Recess mount with Z-Frame, or Trim Frame, deduct a maximum of 13mm from tallest height measurement; order shutters same height. For height adjustments of more than 13mm, go to a Face mount; order shutters same height. Top Rail Louvres Divider Rail Bottom Rail D3

60 Locating Divider Rails A Divider rail is required if shutter panel height is over 1500mm. A second divider rail is required if panel height is over 2700 mm. Distance between rails must be less than 1500mm. Although added strength is the main feature of a divider rail, it also allows bottom louvres to be fully closed for privacy and top louvres open for light. Top Operating Louvres Divider Rail FACE MOUNT Distance-up is the distance from the bottom frame to the center of where you would like the divider rail located. Bottom Operating Louvres RECESS MOUNT Distance-up is the distance from the top of the sill to the center of where you would like the divider rail located. Note: Centre line location of divider rails may vary up or down by a maximum of 25mm for 64mm louvre, by 38mm for 89mm louvre, and 51mm for 114mm louvre. For adjacent openings to have the same divider location the height must be same. Note: indicate this fact on the order form, and the factory will discuss this with you. room to room.
