12 3. Ordering and Measuring Process All orders for Fauxwood and Timber Eco Shutters MUST be submitted electronically by using the latest version of Pacific Wholesale s Shutter Order Form. References to the Shutter Order Form will be made throughout this manual. If you do not have the latest version of Pacific Wholesale s Shutter Order form, please contact the office shutterorders@pacificwholesale.com.au and request a copy today. TIPS FOR FILLING OUT THE ORDER FORM Customer, Delivery, the Date and Customer Order Name and Number details should be filled out on the SUMMARY sheet. This information will automatically transfer to the Order Form sheet. CLICK FOR SUMMARY SHEET If using an Apple computer, please use Excel for Mac (available online) to be able to see the drop down options on the order form. Start from the left hand side and work across the Order Form from left to right, as options will change according to your previous selections. Location helps the installer to distribute boxes into the correct room. Some items of a similar drop may be made with different blade numbers and rail sizes as they fall either side of a guideline. To prevent this, advise in the notes section if any 11

13 items are side by side. If they are side by side but have significantly different opening heights, note if they line up at the top or bottom. If a cell in the order form turns yellow, this is a flag that more information is required, or that there is a problem with what has been ordered. Common issues can be: o Too few, or too many panels have been ordered for the width given, therefore the panels are too wide, or too narrow. Note this will not prevent an out-ofwarranty size being ordered, it is a prompt only. o There is a midrail required. o T Post number and positions are required. o The layout code given doesn t match the number of panels ordered. o Information is missing from the yellow cell. o To notify you that aluminium inserts will be used in Fauxwood panels There are a number of cells that have helpful comments embedded. Hold your curser over the cell to read these. The blue Calculation cells labelled Large Size Panel and m2 are for your information only and can t be changed. If your order exceeds 15 Items, enter Items 16 and over on a new order form(s). On the Summary, label the pages PAGE 1 OF X and PAGE 2 OF X and so on (X = the total number of order form pages in the order) Within an Item, panels are numbered from left to right to identify them. For example in a four panel arrangement, the left hand panel is Panel 1; next to it on its right is Panel 2; then Panel 3 and the extreme right hand panel is Panel 4. Use these panel numbers to clearly identify any Special Comments or requirements for particular panels. Please see an example of the Pacific Wholesale Shutter Order Form on the following page 12

15 Special Comments are referred to frequently in this manual, please see below examples that can be selected when ordering: 14

16 3.1 In Recess Fit 1. Measurements are required to be in millimeters (mm). 2. The depth of the reveal where the shutter or frame will be mounted needs to be measured, to ensure no mullions, handles or key locks etc. will interfere with the operation of the blades when open. When ordering with Hidden tilt rods, measured from the front edge of the frame, 89mm blades need 67mm, 63mm blades need 55mm and 114mm blades need 80mm clear depth. 3. This depth will then determine the framing options available to suit the requested blades. 4. Measuring for inside reveal (recess) fit the shutters should be measured in three places across the width and the drop and the smallest measurements provided. 15

17 3.2 Out Face Fit 1. Measurements are required to be in millimeters (mm). 2. When ordering Face (outside) Fit shutters it is suggested to use the matching frame sizes to ensure the blades clear any architraves or walls that the frames are being mounted to. 3. Measuring for outside (face) fit the shutters should be measured in three places across the width and the drop and the largest measurement provided where the outside of the shutter frame is to be installed. 4. If the opening has an architrave the OUT measurements are usually from the outside of the architrave, to the outside of the opposite architrave. If there is no architrave, add the width of the frame to the recess measurement to find the outside of frame measurements. 16

18 3.3 MS Make Size 1. Is the actual Panel Size. 2. A MS item cannot be ordered with framing. It is panel only. 3. When ordering MS be aware this does not allow for any deductions for Frames or the opening / application 4. A MS order is the size given multiplied by the panel quantity (unlike In and Out, where the panel quantity is divided into the width). 3.4 Special requirements Please refer to Special requirements for measuring details for the following 1. Bay Windows 2. Corner Windows 3. Shaped Windows 4. Any other unusual application not covered here 17

19 4 Options and Specifications 4.1 Panel Components TOP & BOTTOM RAIL These make up the top and bottom of every panel to provide strength through the panel. These differ in size depending on panel measurements. STILES These make up the sides of every panel. They come as either a standard stile, rabbet stile or a Astragal (D Mould) stile. MID RAIL These provide structural support for the panel and are only required for panels over certain heights, or if a customer specifically requests one (this can vary depending on quantity of blades and structure of shutter within 40mm of specific measurement). LOUVRE BLADES The horizontal slats within the panel which are available in a variety of sizes. TOP & BOTTOM RAIL These make up the top and bottom of every panel to provide strength through the panel. These differ in size depending on panel measurements. 18

20 4.2 Standard Panel Dimensions - Fauxwood Please refer to the Shutter Range & Mounting Methods Reference Charts for Panel Dimensions heights and widths. Maximum Panel heights and widths are dependent on Mounting Methods, please refer to the Shutter Range & Mounting Methods Reference Charts. 4.3 Fauxwood Finishes Paint All Fauxwood Shutters are painted with a comprehensive two part lead free polyurethane coating. The coating process consists of five individual coats, hand sanded between each coat. The two part polyurethane coating is the favoured paint of the boat building industry due to its colour brilliance, durability and resistance to cracking and peeling. These qualities make the paint an ideal selection to withstand the heat and UV rays of Australian windows. The paint (primer and top coat) has been tested for VOCs and the results show that this paint complies with the European Standard EN71 Part 3: A1: AC:2002 and it also complies with the limit levels of VOCs recommended by the National Health Medical Research Council (NHMRC) of Australia.

25 4.7 Top and Bottom Rail Fauxwood Eco Elite, Fauxwood Eco Air Fauxwood Night Fauxwood Eco, Timber Eco 10.5 mm 127 mm 21 mm 9.5 mm 11.5mm mm Please Note: 1. The Top & Bottom Rail are variable depending on the height of the panel and the number of blades required. 2. Panels can be ordered with Maximum Amount of Blades requested in the Special Comments; however the Top and Bottom Rails must be made within factory determined specifications so it does not affect the integrity and overall strength of the panel. Top and Bottom Rails will not be made with a height of less than 70mm or 90mm when panel requires Aluminium Reinforcement. 24

26 4.8 Mid Rail Fauxwood Eco Elite, Fauxwood Eco Air, Fauxwood Eco. Timber Eco 21 mm 9.5 mm mm 10.5 mm Fauxwood Night 25

27 Please Note: 1. When a Mid Rail is required, the positional location must be measured from the bottom of the opening to the centre of where the mid rail is required. 2. Every effort will be made to have the mid rail placed in the exact position requested but there can be some variances depending on the height of the panels. 3. We recommend ordering a Mid Rail location as Critical Mid Rail in your Special Comments, as the factory has a (MAA) Mid Rail Adjustment Allowance of 40mm up or down, if Critical Mid Rail has not been specified in the Special Comments. 4. Critical Mid Rail MUST be selected in the Special Comments, corresponding to each relating Line Item on the order form. 5. If there is some leeway, please advise in the Special Comments notes area. For example, if the window mullion to be covered is 30mm deep, and the Mid Rail is 80mm deep, then the Mid Rail could be positioned up 25mm, or down 25mm and still cover the mullion. Make a note in the comments area for this item MR can move +/- 25mm. This flexibility could allow the designer to deliver a more balanced panel, or to match blade heights with another panel that is side by side. 6. Any shutter over 2500mm high will require two mid rails, however only one of those mid rails can be specified as Critical Mid Rail please select this on the order form, in the Special Comments. 7. The second mid rail cannot be Critical as the overlaps and increments for every blade location have to be exact, so the second mid rail height will vary depending on the height of the panel and the amount of full blades required and whether or not the top and bottom rails have the Aluminium Insert Reinforcing (for Fauxwood Eco panels over 650mm wide). 1200mm 600mm Example (see arrows): Gross Open Height 1200mm Mid 600mm (Bottom of Opening to Centre of Mid Rail) 26

28 4.9 Stiles Standard Stile A standard shutter panel is made using a standard rectangular stile. 50.8mm 27mm Fauxwood Stile with Fluffy Strip Option Standard Stile is used on the side of panels butting into framework, T Posts or if panels only are ordered, without specific instructions. Rabbet Stiles Left Panel Right Panel 27m 50.8mm The Rabbet Stiles is Standard and used to provide a light block where two panels overlap or interlock. Rabbet Stiles are often hinged to each other using step hinges for Bi Fold, Double Hinged and Combo Panel shutter situations. Where two panels meet in the centre the rabbet will be back, front as shown in the drawing and photo above. You can also request the left hand panel to open first where required; this need to be requested in Special Comments corresponding to the related Line Item on the order form. If a mix of left and right panels are to open first, specify panels by assigning panel numbers from the left to right and make a request in Special Comments corresponding to the related Line Item on the order form. For example, Panel 2 and 3 to open first. Right hand panels always open first as standard unless otherwise requested in the Special Comments. 27

29 Astragal Stiles (D Mould) The Astragal Stile can be specially ordered when necessary, please specify the location clearly in the Layout Code: Example 1: L-D R ( D mould will be on Left Side of Right Panel) Example 2: L D-R (D mould will be on Right Side of Left Panel) 28

30 4.10 Tilt Rod Four Tilt Rod Options: 1. Centre Tilt Rod Placed in the centre and front of the panel, with all blades being grouped together between the Top & Bottom Rail or Divider Rail. When Bi Folding the panels the Tilt Rod is positioned 8mm off centre to allow the panels to fold onto each other without hitting the Tilt Rod. * Not Available in Fauxwood Eco Air, Fauxwood Night and Timber Eco 2. Off Set Tilt Rod Is the same style as the Centre Tilt Rod, but is placed closer to the hinged side of the Panel. The standard will be 30mm in from the end of the blades. If the panel is fixed, you must specify what side the Off Set Tilt Rod is to be on. This can also be split at specified locations e.g.: Top and Bottom above and/or below the Mid Rail. Split Tilt Rod in... must be specified in related Special Comments on the order form. * Not Available in Fauxwood Eco Air, Fauxwood Night and Timber Eco 29

31 3. Aluminium Hidden Tilt Rod Placed on the back of the panel, this sleek T Shaped Aluminium Tilt Rod is barely visible from the front. The colour co-ordinated hidden metal strip is rebated into the side of the louvre blades and is positioned on the back of the hinged side of panel. This option provides an unobtrusive view through the shutters once the blades are open. This tiltrod provides the added strength and durability, and helps to reduce light gaps down the sides of the blades. 4. Rack & Pinion (For Fauxwood Eco & Fauxwood Eco Elite shutters 89mm Blade only) A Rack & Pinion tilt is an internal gear system in which teeth interlock causing the Rack to move relative to the Pinion, connecting the rotational motion of the Louvre blades. This sophisticated tilt system is completely enclosed in the stile. All blades between rails move together. Rack and Pinion attracts a surcharge. Split Tilt Rods All tilt rods are supplied as one length between rails as a default. If requested, all tilt styles can be split at specified locations. Use the drop down options e.g.: Split Tiltrod above and/or below the mid rail, or specify an approximate height or number of blades for the split position in the Special Comments on the order form. 30

32 5. Mounting Methods 5.1 Hinged Panels Hinged Panels are the best option for windows and are the most popular form of shutters used. When ordering with frames, frames are supplied and non-mortise hinges link the panels to the frame. Hang strips are used with L shaped hinges where no visible frame is preferred. Reveals are rarely straight enough to hinge directly to the side reveals. 5.2 Double Hinged Panels A Double Hinged Panel is where two panels are hinged together, without using any tracking. Double Hinged Panels can be a good solution for windows where a fixture such as a tap prevents a wider single panel from opening fully, or where the customer wants the panels to fold back off the window, without any frames obstructing the view or access to the window Caution should be exercised as the cumulative weight of the two panels must be taken into account. For this reason, there are panel width restrictions. 5.3 Pivot Hinged Panels Pivot Hinges can be used at the top and bottom of Panels when there is no frame required. 5.4 Fixed Removable Panels We offer three Fixed mounting options, to fix panels in position so that the blades can open and close but the panels are held in place without hinges. Some options can be removed, others are permanently fixed. 5.5 Bi Fold Panels Bi Fold Panels are an ideal option for room dividers and covering a sliding door, giving the ability to fold the panels away leaving the full view of the outside world. 5.6 Sliding Panels Sliding Panels can be used in a number of situations but they are commonly used over sliding doors. 31

38 6. Hinged Panels We recommend the panel width to be kept well less than the maximum widths to reduce the weight on the hinges. Please note that wide or larger Fauxwood panels may need to be lifted in and out of their frames. Shutter panels are designed to sit inside a frame. Please refer to the Shutter Range & Mounting Methods Reference Charts for Hinged Panels minimum and maximum dimensions. 6.1 Layout Codes for Hinged Panels When configuring the Layout Code for Hinged Panels, the letters below apply: L R T B C D - Left Hand Side Hinge - Right Hand Side Hinge - T Post (for hinging panels off) - Bay Post (135 post used for Bay windows) - Corner Post (90 post used for Corner Windows) - D Mould NOTE: When ordering, the Panel Quantity must match the Layout Code. 37

41 6.2 Framing for Hinged Panels There are a range of frames available to suit your specific needs. Inside Mount Frames are useful for most reveal fit applications, they give you the ability to hang the shutter panel square in the frame and then any uneven gaps around the frame can be filled in with No More Gaps. This gives the impression that the window frame is square, when often they are not. Inside Fit Framing Options The arrows represent the direction of fixing.

44 Outside Mount Frames are useful for most outside fit applications; they give the ability to hang the shutter panel square in the frame despite the unevenness of the existing window frame. This gives the impression that the window frame is square, when often they are not. When ordering panels with Hidden tilt rods, measured from the front edge of the frame, 63mm blades need 55mm; 89mm blades need 67mm and 114mm blades need 80mm frame depth. For Fauxwood Eco and Fauxwood Eco Elite, this depth can be reduced by approx. 7mm if a Rack and Pinion, Centre or Offset tilt is ordered.

This guarantees the blades will not protrude past the back of the frame. It is best to order Face Fit L Frame Shutters with full four-sided framing, as it is for most frame systems, however exceptions to this may apply if the side frames run to the floor or onto a sill. The Cover Strip neatly hides away the mounting holes used to secure the frame. Depending on your opening, when using Face Fit Frames with a Hidden Tiltrod, you may need to build out frames for extra clearance. Frame Outside Mount (top view) 44

47 6.3 Z Frames (Reveal Fit) Z Frames are commonly used when there is no architrave in the opening, this frame will wrap around the reveal edge also making it ideal for covering non square windows. The range of trims also allows you to achieve an architrave look. A Z Frame is not recommended where an existing architrave is present, unless the opening is considerably out of square. Z Sill Frame can be used along with Z Frames where it s unable to wrap around the opening, e.g. the bottom on a kitchen bench, the top on a bulkhead ceiling or into a wall in a corner. 44.5mm The arrows represent the direction of fixing. 44.5mm 19mm 25mm 28mm 19mm 25mm 28mm 28mm 19mm 28mm 19mm 34.9mm Standard Z Frame (Fauxwood) 28.6mm Standard Z Frame (Timber Eco) 63.5mm 76.2mm 11.4mm 44.5mm 31mm 19mm 57.1mm 28mm 38.6mm 19mm 28mm 19mm 34.9mm 28.6mm Large Z Frame (Fauxwood) Large Z Frame (Timber Eco) 46

51 Internal Hanging Strip Panels Hanging Strip with Light Stop Hanging Strip is a popular choice for Inside Mount situations as it is quick, easy and allows you to adjust the shutter panel in a non-square opening. For this application, the hanging strip is mounted to the sides of the reveal. L Hinges are placed on the front of the Hanging Strip. Note: deductions allow the hinges to fit entirely into the reveal. If fitting to the front edge of the reveal, and positioning the round part of the hinge so that it is partially beyond the reveal, consider allowing for this within the width measurement to avoid gaps being larger than intended. A Light Stop is then used at the top and bottom of the window frame to block the light coming in. The Light Stop will have magnets and catches attached.

53 7. Double Hinged Panels Double Hinged Panels enable up to 4 panels to be installed without T Posts. If fitted in a Z or FF Frame, the panels will fold back to the wall. Some customers want their shutters to fold off the opening to preserve a view, or to be able to lift out sliding windows to clean them. This mounting method will facilitate this. Double Hinged Panels cannot be made wider than the Standard Maximum sizes as shown in the Shutter Range & Mounting Methods Reference Charts. Please note: 1. The panel width combined must be less than the panel height. 2. This type of shutter can sag on the hinges slightly and may need to be lifted to place it back into its frame or window sill. 3.

54 19mm m 19mm 47.6mm 49mm Extra Framing for Hinged and Double Hinged Panels T Posts Used when more than two panels may be required in an opening. You can specify where you require the T Post to be situated; it is most commonly placed where a window mullion is. Exceptions can be when the window catch may be rendered difficult to access behind a T Post. In this case, position the T post elsewhere, or consider using a frame that offers more clearance. This must be specified on the order form and is measured from the left hand side of the opening to the centre of each mullion. When measuring for T Posts it is suggested that these are placed where there is an existing window mullion in the glass. Please always specify on the order form where you want the T Post to be, this is measured from the left to the centre of where you would like the T Post to be. If there is more than one T Post required, then the second T Post and the third T Post (and so on) are also measured from the left. T Posts can also be used horizontally to split panels in an opening instead of using a midrail.

85 14 Shaped Shutters 14.1 Shaped Shutters Templates and Drawings Shaped Shutters can be a great option for covering uniquely shaped windows or cut outs in walls. Please Note: 1. Shaped shutters will require either: a. A traced Template for curved shapes. b. A line Drawing with angles for straight line shapes. c. Before shapes are manufactured, the factory will supply drawings, which must be approved via . This ensures the shape will be made to correct size. 2. The use of framing on all Shaped Shutters is highly recommended, either the Z or L Frame depending on the accuracy/variance of the opening. Z frame is best for recess fit as most shapes are square stopped and will have some variances 3. The Drawing for straight line shapes and Templates for curved shapes must be supplied as supporting documentation to the Standard Order Form. 4. Shaped Shutter see attached diagram must be selected in the window type column on the order form 5. Shaped Shutters require a longer lead time due to the specialised processes involved, the date of order begins from when the factory drawings have been approved (by the customer) and confirmed by the factory.

93 16 Horizontal T Posts Horizontal T Posts can be used in a window to separate or divide the panels at the top of a window to those panels at the bottom of a window when opening, a little like barn doors. A great option to accommodate obstacles like a TV unit, lounge or even a bath situation etc. A Vertical T Post is recommended to support the Horizontal T Post if panels are to be used below the Horizontal T Post. A Filler Board up to 220mm deep can be used above or below a Horizontal T Post instead of panels. This is ideal to allow hinged panels to clear a tap, edge of a bath, or on the top of panels to clear a bulk head. 92

94 17 Hardware and Extra Timbers 17.1 Blade Pins/ Spring Pins Custom made from nylon for a superior operation. Tension Our unique two piece hidden tensioning system within the pins is made from a high quality non wearing nylon. This ensures long lasting tensioning of the shutter panels and does not require tightening during the use of shutters Herman Joints (Hoffmann Keys) Where possible frames will be fitted with double Herman Joints to firmly hold the mitred joints together to maintain squareness. This is essential for neat mitre joins and perfectly fitted panels. A small and a large Herman Joint will be fitted to each corner of the frame. Some Z Frames are too narrow for a second joiner to be fitted. We recommend screwing these joints square, immediately after inserting the Herman Joiner to ensure the joint remains strong while being fitted. Large Herman Joint Small Herman Joint 93

104 20 Shutter Remake Process In the event of Shutter Panels, Frames or Parts being received damaged the following information must be ed to 1. Copy of the original order form. 2. A new order form, clearly showing the shutter(s) that need remaking. Please specify that the order is a remake failure to do so may result in the original order being placed as a new order at full charge. 3. A detailed description specifying exactly what the concern is and exactly what panels/frames etc. need remaking. Failure to clearly specify this information may result in a longer lead time. More often than not the fastest solution to rectify a concern is to order the parts only required e.g. Louvre Blades and Pins, Framing Section etc. 4. Supporting photographs illustrating any concerns. For example if the panels/frames supplied were too short, photographs to show a tape measure being held against the panels/frames, to clearly illustrate the size they were supplied at are required, as shown below. Or if the panel is believed to be bowed then a photo must be provided of the panel lying down on a flat surface as shown below. 103
