FUNCTIONALITY
PANEL PLACEMENT ADVICE
• Large panels allow for excellent view-through, but may pose a challenge while opening them to clean the window glass.
• It is not recommended to leave the panels swung fully open for extended periods of time. This may cause damage to the hinges, resulting in misalignment when the panels are closed.
SOLUTIONS FOR LARGE WINDOWS
• Two panels may be hinged together in a bi-fold panel design as a solution for oversized openings where a T-Post is not desired, or to work around obstructions such as faucets.
• A vertical T-Post separates the frame into multiple panel sets, providing structural integrity, and more flexibility for hinging panels in large openings.
• Please see Measuring Guidelines in the Shutters Product Reference Guide for details on how to order vertical T-Posts, as well as even and uneven panels.
