Plain Astragal Stile (41.3mm & 50.8mm): used on where 2 panels meet.

 

Rails:

Top & bottom rail: Usually the Top & Bottom rail will larger than 80mm, Factory will decide the size, unless otherwise specified in the special instruction section of order form. The top and bottom rail will be the similar size if there is no divider rail. If need different rail size, please specify on special note. It is suggested ordering shutters for the same order at one time, so that the rail size will match.

 

Divider rail: Standard divider rail is 76.2mm

 

Louvres: 

47mm louvre

 

64mm louvre

 

89mm louvre

 

114mm Louvre

 

 

 

Tilt rod:  

1) Standard Tilt Rod:

 

2). Hidden tilt rod: Notch out the louvres, only available for 63mm, 89mm and 114mm louvres. Hidden Tilt Rod colours please refer to the Colour Option.

 

Louvre Size	Qty of louvres
63mm	21
89mm	14
114mm	10

 

If the louvre qty exceeds the above limit, 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 the offset tilt rod is 25mm to the end of the louvre on hinge side.

*** Tilt rod position 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. The rabbet is made with right panels over left ones for the both the panels folded to left and to right.

 

For the 2 panels and 4 panels configuration (LLRR), tilt rod in centre of panel, no need to offset.

 

*** Multi-fold panel config is not suggested and not under warranty. Only Multi-fold panels with top and bottom track for Bifold track system is under warranty.

2. Louvre Pin: 

Louvre pins are used to ensure louvre tension.  Additionally a tension rod is inserted through a louvre in the panel. This will require the panel to have holes in the stiles for the screw caps of the tension rod. The tension can be adjusted by tightening or loosening the screw caps.

 

3. Colour Options: 

Shutter Colour	Default Hidden Tilt Rod Colour	Hinge Colour
		Default Colour	Optional Colour
003 Silk white	White	White	1.Bright Brass 2.Anti-Brass 3.Stainless Steel 4 Oil Rubbed Bronze 5. Nickel-Plated

Please order shutters for the same home at one time. Slight variations may also occur between the finished products and the colour decks

  

4.  Panel size limitation:

Louvre size	Width			Height
	Min.	Max.
		Single Hung	Bi-fold or multi-fold	Min.	Max
47mm	152mm	600mm	550mm	250mm	3000mm
63mm	152mm	750mm	550mm	250mm	3000mm
89mm	152mm	750mm	550mm	250mm	3000mm
114mm	152mm	750mm	550mm	250mm	3000mm

 

If panel size is over the limitation, warranty will be waived automatically.

 

If panel height is over 1800mm, 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 1800mm, 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.

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.

 

* If customer fail to notify NienMade that the shutter will be used in door application and consequently, the customer will be responsible for the cost of the any RGA Reorder that is submitted.

Please see the following chart for details.
