COMPONETRY

MATERIAL
Polyresin 3® is exterior grade extruded vinyl that is NFPA-701 compliant and will
not fade, crack, peel, or warp. The color is impregnated into the raw material for a consistent even finish for all profiles. All other molded accessories and small components are made of color coordinated nylon or ABS material.

PANEL

All panels are assembled using stile and rail construction. The stiles are reinforced with either molded plastic, and/or aluminum reinforcement based on the size of the panel. Color coordinated stile end caps conceal fabrication hardware providing a finished look. Horizontal mid rails provide strength for longer panels and divides the shutter into two or more louver sections for maximum
light control.
Picture

LOUVERS
Elliptical shape louvers (pictured left) are available in three sizes:  2-1/2", 3-1/2" and 4-1/2" widths.

Computer positioned louver spacing provides accurate and equal spacing between louvers, creating a uniform look from shutter to shutter.
The louvers rotate fully in both directions when actuated.

ROTATION SYSTEMS

Picture




The Traditional Tilt-Bar System provides a tight and uniform closure of all  louvers at once. This is located on the front center of each panel.

Picture











The optional Clearview® System performs the same function as a tilt-bar, but is hidden on the back hinge side of the panel.
