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.

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.

Having woken up this morning and looked out of the window, you most probably said the same as I did…. “What a beautiful day”.
The sun has most certainly got its hat on!
The weather has a positively Mediterranean feel to it today. Its lovely and warm with glorious sunshine.
So we have a decision to make…
Open the shutters and let in the beautiful brightness of a beautiful May Day? Sounds like a good idea.
However, for the windows that are directly in the sunshine, I’m going to leave them shut. That way, we get a breeze going through the house whilst keeping the sun out of that room.
Genius.
For the lucky people that have already had Keywest shutters installed, enjoy the day today.
For those who have not, enjoy the day also, but give us a call to see how you could enjoy all the benefits of our shutters.
And they look glorious in the bright sunshine!
Happy Friday!
Give us a call today to see how we can help you.

With spring almost behind us and summer approaching fast, there is no better time than now to start looking at installing shutters to your property.
For many reasons, they would become a welcome addition to any property.
As the temperatures start to rise and the sun shines for longer in the day, shutters from Keywest could be a real relief.
On those long summer days (of which we do get a few in this country!) you could keep the windows wide open while keeping the shutters closed. In the style of our neighbours on the continent, you could keep the air flowing and the breeze blowing around the room while keeping the hot suns rays outside!
With all these benefits comes one further, main one. In today’s world we are (rightly or wrongly) made all too aware of the security issues surrounding us all. Shutters quite simply add a security measure to any window or door they are fitted to, purely due to the construction and its effectiveness as acting as a second layer.
So, you can see there are many additional features to installing shutters to your property. They not only look good, they help to keep you cool and help with the security of your home.
All this for a very competitive market leader in installation of shutters – Keywest.
Call us today and see just how easy it is to get your own shutters.
