2) Hidden Tilt Rod:

63mm, 89mm, 114mm louvre can be ordered with hidden tilt rod. 31mm & 47mm louvre does not have this option. The Hidden Tilt Rod colour please refers to the Colour Option.

If the louvre qty exceeds the above number, the hidden tilt rod will be equally split into halves: if the louvre qty is odd, will make the bottom tilt rod longer than the top. (For example, if a panel has 19 pieces of louvres, then top part will be 9 pieces and bottom will be 10 pieces.) If the panel has a divider rail, and the louvre qty above divider rail or below divider rail exceeds above limited, split tilt rods are also required.

3) Offset Tilt Rod: Tilt rod can be ordered offset from centre. Please specify the position from the centre of the tilt rod to the end of the louvre. The standard distance for an offset tilt rod is 25mm to the end of the louvre on hinge side.

Louvre Pin: Louvre pins are used to ensure louvre tension. Tension screw is inserted a louvre in the panel for all size of louvres. This will require the panel to have holes in the stiles for the screw. The louvre tension can be adjusted by tightening or loosening the screw. So additional holes will be visible in the stiles.

There are 2 colours: white and brown, white for all paint colour shutters and brown for all stained and clear lacquer/oiled finish shutters.

Extension for Z Frame:

If you want the timber to be added to bottom of Z frame like the drawing on the right, please ALWAYS specify in the special note of the order form, “Add extension to light block section”. The DEFAULT EXTENSION will be the left drawing.

Battens & Fascia:

Size:

Battens can possibly be butt jointed like the drawings below.

Standard sizes:

The Special shaped battens are available.

2. Colour Options:

Optional Hinge color: Bright brass, Black, Stainless steel, Oil rubbed Bronze, Nickel-Plated

** Custom Paint Colour is also available with extra charge.

WRC contains oil that can possibly come out after exposure to the sun.  This can make the colour of the natural become darker than when it was first installed.  This is not related to the material of the paint and is a natural occurrence for this type of wood.  If order natural customer need to be aware of this possibility.

Due to the nature of material manufacturing, colours may vary slightly between dye lots. Please order shutters for the same home at one time. Slight variations may also occur between the finished products and the colour decks.

3. Gloss Level:

If there is no request of the gloss level on the order form, we will make the shutters at the standard gloss level. (20°~25°)

4. Panel size limitation:
 

If panel size exceeds the limitation above, warranty will be waived automatically.

If panel height is over 1100mm for 31mm Louvre and 1800mm for the others’ louvre size, a divider rail is required. And if the panel has a divider rail but the height from center of divider rail to top of the top rail or to bottom of bottom is still over 1100mm for 31mm Louvre and 1800mm for the others’ louvre size, another divider rail is required. If you do not specify the divider rail location, we will hold the order to confirm if a divider rail is required. But if specify no divider rail, we will regard it as you have waived your warranty.

5. Shutter used for door without bottom support:

In situations when shutters are used for door application, which do not have support underneath the panels, the customers must inform NienMade when placing the type of order. (See the following specs for Shutters used in Door application)

Please note:

(1) The factory will add extra hinges to support the panels.

(2) Bigger and Stronger Top and Bottom rail. This will reduce the probability of the panels sagging and increase shutter intensity.

6. Panel configuration:

Rabbet Stile: if choose rabbet stile on the order form, then the panels will be made like the following drawings.

1 Panel: L or R

2 Panels: LL/RR/LR

3 Panels: LLR/LRR

4 Panels: LLRR

Astragal Stile:  If choose astragal stile in the order form, then panels will be made like the following drawings.

1 Panel L or R: (both side to be butt stile)

2 Panels:

3 Panels:

4 Panels:

6 panels or more: will be made like the following, astragal stile is only used where 2 panels meet without hinges.

MUST FILL OUT THE PANEL CONFIGURATION ON THE ORDER FORM. SO THAT WE CAN KNOW WHERE THE HINGES ARE TO BE MOUNTED.

***Offset tilt rod for multi-fold Top Track shutters:

For the multi-fold panels, we will make the tilt rod offset from the centre. By doing so, panels can be folded flat without tilt rods being obstructed with each other. The standard offset for the tilt rod is 7mm from the centre, i.e. tilt rod will be 7mm to the left from the centre for the left panels, and 7mm to the right from the centre for the right panels. Besides, the rabbet is made with right panels over left ones for the both the panels folded to left and to right.

l  For 2 panels (LL/RR) and 4 panels configuration (LLRR), there is no need to offset the tilt rod.
