Drop-Rail Front ~ Flush-Rail Back

Our drop-rail front is an aesthetic feature common to many custom shutters. However, instead of using a drop-rail on the front and back
of our panel, we designed a flush-rail back to eliminate the light leakage that occurs with a drop-rail back. Additionally, the thicker flush-rail gives the shutter panel additional lateral support. As a special order we also produce a full flush-rail panel.

Mortised for Hinges

Our shutters are mortised for inner panel hanging hinges, which assures there will be no light gaps where panels are hinged together.
Where panels are hinged to frames we utilise a specially designed Butterfly hinge, which closes upon itself, again minimising the light gap around the panel.

Rebated Panels

All panel connections are rebated to prevent light leaking where panels meet. This means that in a two-panel opening, the centre stiles are designed so that they overlap each other to create a light barrier..
