Shutter Construction

Hardwood Dowel Construction

Every shutter panel we build is assembled with the longest hardwood dowels in the industry. This feature gives each panel locktight durability. This type of construction allows us to manufacture panels up to 34" (86cm) wide without requiring the use of special stile sizes. As a special order we can supply panels up to 44” (112cm) wide.

Tension Screw System

The addition of a tension screw system in every shutter panel assures that whether the shutter is brand new or decades old, it will never become too tight or too loose to operate properly. By the slight turn of a screw inside the stile, the louver tension is either increased or decreased. This type of engineering allows our shutters to be shipped all over the world and remain problem free for decades to come. We can also build with no tension screw, utilizing tension pins, at no additional charge.

Staples

We use extra-long heavy gauge staples in the louvers and tilt-rod to insure that they do not pull out. Each staple is coated with heat-frictionized glue that is activated when the staple is injected into the wood. This assures that the staples will hold for the life of the shutter panel.
