Our shutters have a unique simple style that easily integrate with traditional or contemporary interiors. The new look option of clean frame even allows for inside recess fitments. This provides the additional benefit of less light filtration and hidden magnet closures.

Contact us for more information on the complete range choices we offer or to arrange an appointment.

Stiles

• Options

• Stiles between panel closure

Single panel: 41.3mm Butt stile

2 panels or more: 41.3mm Rabbet stile

50.8mm stile is available on for open bypass

Rails

Top & Bottom rail: The top and bottom rail will be the same (or similar) size if no divider rail. If you need different size rails, please specify. We suggest ordering shutters for the same order at one time, so that the rail size will match.

Divider rail: Standard divider rail is 76.2mm.  Default location: center of the panel unless specified otherwise.

• A divider rail is an extra rail in the middle of the panel.
• Creates two sections in the panel so louvers can be operated independently.
• Strengthens the panel and enhances structural integrity.
• Divider rail location: from bottom of window to centre of divider rail for inside mount; from bottom edge of bottom frame to centre of divider rail for outside mount (OD of frame size).

Measurements:

• OD of frame:

—    Measure from the bottom of the frame to the center of the divider rail.

• OP: (overall panel size):

—    Measure from the bottom of the panel to the center of the divider rail.

• Position:

— Per customer’s specification. However, the divider rail may be adjusted to a lower or higher position, within our allowable deviation, to ensure reinforcement and aesthetics of the shutter.

When placing the order, please clearly specify if the divider rail position needs to line up with that of other shutter divider rails in the same room. Please also refer to the table below for the allowable deviation details.

Divider rail allowable deviations

Louvres

Tilt Rods

Notch out the stile. 63mm/ 89mmlouvre can be ordered with hidden tilt rod. The hidden tilt rod will be split into 2 parts automatically when the number of louvres connected to the hidden tilt rod exceeds the following limit:

The bottom part will has one more louvre than the top part if the louvre qty is odd. If the louvre qty is even, the top and bottom part louvres will be the same qty.

Offset tilt rod: standard offset is 25mm from centre of tilt rod to end of louvre on hinge side.

*Offset tilt rod for multi-fold 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.

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

Panel Configurations

2 Panels: LL/RR/LR

3 Panels: LLR/LRR

4 Panels: LLRR

Frame

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:  

Standard sizes:

Stile:

Plain Butt Stile (41.3mm & 50.8mm): Usually used on the side of panel that is hinged to batten or frame.

Plain Rabbet Stile (41.3mm & 50.8mm): Used on bi-fold panels or where 2 panels meet.

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.

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: 

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:

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.
