3. Ordering and Measuring Process All orders for Fauxwood and Timber Eco Shutters MUST be submitted electronically by using the latest version of Pacific Wholesale’s Shutter Order Form. References to the Shutter Order Form will be made throughout this manual. If you do not have the latest version of Pacific Wholesale’s Shutter Order form, please contact the office [email protected] and request a copy today. TIPS FOR FILLING OUT THE ORDER FORM

▪ Customer, Delivery, the Date and Customer Order Name and Number details should be filled out on the “SUMMARY” sheet. This information will automatically transfer to the Order Form sheet.

▪ If using an Apple computer, please use Excel for Mac (available online) to be able to see the drop down options on the order form.

▪ Start from the left hand side and work across the Order Form from left to right, as options will change according to your previous selections.

▪ Location helps the installer to distribute boxes into the correct room. ▪ Some items of a similar drop may be made with different blade numbers and rail sizes

as they fall either side of a guideline. To prevent this, advise in the notes section if any

CLICK FOR SUMMARY

SHEET

mailto:[email protected]

12

items are “side by side”. If they are side by side but have significantly different opening heights, note if they line up at the top or bottom.

▪ If a cell in the order form turns yellow, this is a flag that more information is required, or that there is a problem with what has been ordered. Common issues can be:

o Too few, or too many panels have been ordered for the width given, therefore the panels are too wide, or too narrow. Note this will not prevent an out-of-warranty size being ordered, it is a prompt only.

o There is a midrail required. o T Post number and positions are required. o The layout code given doesn’t match the number of panels ordered. o Information is missing from the yellow cell. o To notify you that aluminium inserts will be used in Fauxwood panels

▪ There are a number of cells that have helpful comments embedded. Hold your curser over the cell to read these.

▪ The blue Calculation cells labelled “Large Size Panel” and “m2” are for your information only and can’t be changed.

▪ If your order exceeds 15 Items, enter Items 16 and over on a new order form(s). On the Summary, label the pages PAGE 1 OF X and PAGE 2 OF X and so on (X = the total number of order form pages in the order)

▪ Within an Item, panels are numbered from left to right to identify them. For example in a four panel arrangement, the left hand panel is Panel 1; next to it on its right is Panel 2; then Panel 3 and the extreme right hand panel is Panel 4. Use these panel numbers to clearly identify any Special Comments or requirements for particular panels.

Please see an example of the Pacific Wholesale Shutter Order Form on the following page

14

“Special Comments” are referred to frequently in this manual, please see below examples that can be selected when ordering:

15

3.1 In

Recess Fit

1. Measurements are required to be in millimeters (mm).

2. The depth of the reveal where the shutter or frame will be mounted needs to be measured, to ensure no mullions, handles or key locks etc. will interfere with the operation of the blades when open. When ordering with Hidden tilt rods, measured from the front edge of the frame, 89mm blades need 67mm, 63mm blades need 55mm and 114mm blades need 80mm clear depth.

3. This depth will then determine the framing options available to suit the requested blades.

4. Measuring for inside reveal (recess) fit the shutters should be measured in three places

across the width and the drop and the smallest measurements provided.

16

3.2 Out Face Fit


2. When ordering Face (outside) Fit shutters it is suggested to use the matching frame sizes to ensure the blades clear any architraves or walls that the frames are being mounted to.

3. Measuring for outside (face) fit the shutters should be measured in three places across the width and the drop and the largest measurement provided where the outside of the shutter frame is to be installed.

4. If the opening has an architrave the OUT measurements are usually from the outside of the architrave, to the outside of the opposite architrave. If there is no architrave, add the width of the frame to the recess measurement to find the outside of frame measurements.

17

3.3 MS

Make Size

1. Is the actual Panel Size. 2. A MS item cannot be ordered with framing. It is panel only. 3. When ordering MS be aware this does not allow for any deductions for Frames or the

opening / application 4. A MS order is the size given multiplied by the panel quantity (unlike In and Out, where

the panel quantity is divided into the width).

3.4 Special requirements

Please refer to Special requirements for measuring details for the following

1. Bay Windows 2. Corner Windows 3. Shaped Windows 4. Any other unusual application not covered here

18

4 Options and Specifications

4.1 Panel Components

TOP & BOTTOM RAIL These make up the top and bottom of every panel to provide strength through the panel. These differ in size depending on panel measurements.

STILES These make up the sides of every panel. They come as either a standard stile, rabbet stile or a Astragal (D Mould) stile.

MID RAIL These provide structural support for the panel and are only required for panels over certain heights, or if a customer specifically requests one (this can vary depending on quantity of blades and structure of shutter within 40mm of specific measurement).

LOUVRE BLADES The horizontal slats within the panel which are available in a variety of sizes.

TOP & BOTTOM RAIL These make up the top and bottom of every panel to provide strength through the panel. These differ in size depending on panel measurements.

4.2 Standard Panel Dimensions - Fauxwood Please refer to the Shutter Range & Mounting Methods Reference Charts for Panel Dimensions – heights and widths. Maximum Panel heights and widths are dependent on Mounting Methods, please refer to the Shutter Range & Mounting Methods Reference Charts.

4.3 Fauxwood Finishes

Paint All Fauxwood Shutters are painted with a comprehensive two part lead free polyurethane coating. The coating process consists of five individual coats, hand sanded between each coat. The two part polyurethane coating is the favoured paint of the boat building industry due to its colour brilliance, durability and resistance to cracking and peeling. These qualities make the paint an ideal selection to withstand the heat and UV rays of Australian windows. The paint (primer and top coat) has been tested for VOCs and the results show that this paint complies with the European Standard EN71 Part 3: 1994 + A1:2000 + AC:2002 and it also complies with the limit levels of VOCs recommended by the National Health Medical Research Council (NHMRC) of Australia.

1. The Top & Bottom Rail are variable depending on the height of the panel and the number of blades required.

2. Panels can be ordered with “Maximum Amount of Blades” requested in the Special Comments; however the Top and Bottom Rails must be made within factory determined specifications so it does not affect the integrity and overall strength of the panel.

Top and Bottom Rails will not be made with a height of less than 70mm or 90mm when panel requires Aluminium Reinforcement.

Please Note:

1. When a Mid Rail is required, the positional location must be measured from the bottom of the opening to the centre of where the mid rail is required.

2. Every effort will be made to have the mid rail placed in the exact position requested but there can be some variances depending on the height of the panels.

3. We recommend ordering a Mid Rail location as “Critical Mid Rail” in your Special Comments, as the factory has a (MAA) Mid Rail Adjustment Allowance of 40mm up or down, if “Critical Mid Rail” has not been specified in the Special Comments.

4. “Critical Mid Rail” MUST be selected in the Special Comments, corresponding to each relating Line Item on the order form.

5. If there is some leeway, please advise in the Special Comments notes area. For example, if the window mullion to be covered is 30mm deep, and the Mid Rail is 80mm deep, then the Mid Rail could be positioned up 25mm, or down 25mm and still cover the mullion. Make a note in the comments area for this item “MR can move +/- 25mm. This flexibility could allow the designer to deliver a more balanced panel, or to match blade heights with another panel that is side by side.

6. Any shutter over 2500mm high will require two mid rails, however only one of those mid rails can be specified as “Critical Mid Rail” – please select this on the order form, in the Special Comments.

7. The second mid rail cannot be Critical as the overlaps and increments for every blade location have to be exact, so the second mid rail height will vary depending on the height of the panel and the amount of full blades required and whether or not the top and bottom rails have the Aluminium Insert Reinforcing (for Fauxwood Eco panels over 650mm wide).

Example (see arrows):

▪ Gross Open Height 1200mm ▪ Mid rail @ 600mm (Bottom of Opening to Centre of Mid Rail)

1200mm

600mm

4.9 Stiles

Standard Stile A standard shutter panel is made using a standard rectangular stile. ▪ Standard Stile is used on the side of panels butting into framework, T Posts or if panels only

are ordered, without specific instructions.

Rabbet Stiles Left Panel Right Panel

▪ The Rabbet Stiles is Standard and used to provide a light block where two panels overlap or

interlock. ▪ Rabbet Stiles are often hinged to each other using step hinges for Bi Fold, Double Hinged

and Combo Panel shutter situations. ▪ Where two panels meet in the centre the rabbet will be back, front as shown in the drawing

and photo above. ▪ You can also request the left hand panel to open first where required; this need to be

requested in Special Comments corresponding to the related Line Item on the order form. If a mix of left and right panels are to open first, specify panels by assigning panel numbers from the left to right and make a request in Special Comments corresponding to the related Line Item on the order form. For example, “Panel 2 and 3 to open first”.

▪ Right hand panels always open first as standard unless otherwise requested in the Special Comments.

29

4.10 Tilt Rod

Four Tilt Rod Options:

1. Centre Tilt Rod Placed in the centre and front of the panel, with all blades being grouped together between the Top & Bottom Rail or Divider Rail. When Bi Folding the panels the Tilt Rod is positioned 8mm off centre to allow the panels to fold onto each other without hitting the Tilt Rod.

* Not Available in Fauxwood Eco Air, Fauxwood Night and Timber Eco

2. Off Set Tilt Rod Is the same style as the Centre Tilt Rod, but is placed closer to the hinged side of the Panel. The standard will be 30mm in from the end of the blades. If the panel is fixed, you must specify what side the Off Set Tilt Rod is to be on. This can also be split at specified locations e.g.: Top and Bottom above and/or below the Mid Rail. “Split Tilt Rod in....” must be specified in related Special Comments on the order form.

* Not Available in Fauxwood Eco Air, Fauxwood Night and Timber Eco

30

3. Aluminium Hidden Tilt Rod Placed on the back of the panel, this sleek T Shaped Aluminium Tilt Rod is barely visible from the front. The colour co-ordinated hidden metal strip is rebated into the side of the louvre blades and is positioned on the back of the hinged side of panel. This option provides an unobtrusive view through the shutters once the blades are open. This tiltrod provides the added strength and durability, and helps to reduce light gaps down the sides of the blades.

4. Rack & Pinion (For Fauxwood Eco & Fauxwood Eco Elite shutters 89mm Blade only) A Rack & Pinion tilt is an internal gear system in which teeth interlock causing the Rack to move relative to the Pinion, connecting the rotational motion of the Louvre blades. This sophisticated tilt system is completely enclosed in the stile. All blades between rails move together. Rack and Pinion attracts a surcharge.

Split Tilt Rods All tilt rods are supplied as one length between rails as a default. If requested, all tilt styles can be split at specified locations. Use the drop down options e.g.: Split Tiltrod above and/or below the mid rail, or specify an approximate height or number of blades for the split position in the Special Comments on the order form.

5. Mounting Methods

5.1 Hinged Panels Hinged Panels are the best option for windows and are the most popular form of shutters used. When ordering with frames, frames are supplied and non-mortise hinges link the panels to the frame. Hang strips are used with L shaped hinges where no visible frame is preferred. Reveals are rarely straight enough to hinge directly to the side reveals.

5.2 Double Hinged Panels A Double Hinged Panel is where two panels are hinged together, without using any tracking. Double Hinged Panels can be a good solution for windows where a fixture such as a tap prevents a wider single panel from opening fully, or where the customer wants the panels to fold back off the window, without any frames obstructing the view or access to the window Caution should be exercised as the cumulative weight of the two panels must be taken into account. For this reason, there are panel width restrictions.

5.3 Pivot Hinged Panels Pivot Hinges can be used at the top and bottom of Panels when there is no frame required.

5.4 Fixed Removable Panels We offer three Fixed mounting options, to fix panels in position so that the blades can open and close but the panels are held in place without hinges. Some options can be removed, others are permanently fixed.

5.5 Bi Fold Panels Bi Fold Panels are an ideal option for room dividers and covering a sliding door, giving the ability to fold the panels away leaving the full view of the outside world.

5.6 Sliding Panels Sliding Panels can be used in a number of situations but they are commonly used over sliding doors.

6. Hinged Panels We recommend the panel width to be kept well less than the maximum widths to reduce the weight on the hinges. Please note that wide or larger Fauxwood panels may need to be lifted in and out of their frames. Shutter panels are designed to sit inside a frame. Please refer to the Shutter Range & Mounting Methods Reference Charts for Hinged Panels minimum and maximum dimensions.

6.1 Layout Codes for Hinged Panels When configuring the “Layout Code” for Hinged Panels, the letters below apply: ‘L’ - Left Hand Side Hinge ‘R’ - Right Hand Side Hinge ‘T’ - T Post (for hinging panels off) ‘B’ - Bay Post (135° post used for Bay windows) ‘C’ - Corner Post (90° post used for Corner Windows) ‘D’ - D Mould NOTE: When ordering, the Panel Quantity must match the Layout Code.

6.2 Framing for Hinged Panels There are a range of frames available to suit your specific needs.

Inside Mount

▪ Frames are useful for most reveal fit applications, they give you the ability to hang the shutter panel square in the frame and then any uneven gaps around the frame can be filled in with No More Gaps.

▪ This gives the impression that the window frame is square, when often they are not.

Outside Mount

▪ Frames are useful for most outside fit applications; they give the ability to hang the shutter panel square in the frame despite the unevenness of the existing window frame.

▪ This gives the impression that the window frame is square, when often they are not. ▪ When ordering panels with Hidden tilt rods, measured from the front edge of the frame,

63mm blades need 55mm; 89mm blades need 67mm and 114mm blades need 80mm frame depth. For Fauxwood Eco and Fauxwood Eco Elite, this depth can be reduced by approx. 7mm if a Rack and Pinion, Centre or Offset tilt is ordered.

TIMBER:

▪ It is recommended to order the above Face Fit L Frames with the corresponding blade size. This guarantees the blades will not protrude past the back of the frame.

▪ It is best to order Face Fit L Frame Shutters with full four-sided framing, as it is for most

frame systems, however exceptions to this may apply if the side frames run to the floor or onto a sill.

▪ The Cover Strip neatly hides away the mounting holes used to secure the frame.

▪ Depending on your opening, when using Face Fit Frames with a Hidden Tiltrod, you may need to build out frames for extra clearance. Frame Outside Mount (top view)

6.3 Z Frames (Reveal Fit)

▪ Z Frames are commonly used when there is no architrave in the opening, this frame will wrap around the reveal edge also making it ideal for covering non square windows. The range of trims also allows you to achieve an architrave look.

▪ A Z Frame is not recommended where an existing architrave is present, unless the opening is considerably out of square.

▪ Z Sill Frame can be used along with Z Frames where it’s unable to wrap around the opening, e.g. the bottom on a kitchen bench, the top on a bulkhead ceiling or into a wall in a corner.

Internal Hanging Strip Panels

Hanging Strip with Light Stop

▪ Hanging Strip is a popular choice for Inside Mount situations as it is quick, easy and allows you to adjust the shutter panel in a non-square opening.

▪ For this application, the hanging strip is mounted to the sides of the reveal. L Hinges are

placed on the front of the Hanging Strip. Note: deductions allow the hinges to fit entirely into the reveal. If fitting to the front edge of the reveal, and positioning the round part of the hinge so that it is partially beyond the reveal, consider allowing for this within the width measurement to avoid gaps being larger than intended.

▪ A Light Stop is then used at the top and bottom of the window frame to block the light

coming in. The Light Stop will have magnets and catches attached.

7. Double Hinged Panels Double Hinged Panels enable up to 4 panels to be installed without T Posts. If fitted in a Z or FF Frame, the panels will fold back to the wall. Some customers want their shutters to fold off the opening to preserve a view, or to be able to lift out sliding windows to clean them. This mounting method will facilitate this. Double Hinged Panels cannot be made wider than the Standard Maximum sizes as shown in the Shutter Range & Mounting Methods Reference Charts. Please note:

1. The panel width combined must be less than the panel height. 2. This type of shutter can sag on the hinges slightly and may need to be lifted to

place it back into its frame or window sill. 3. Bumper Stoppers will be supplied to give the panels more stability once they are placed

back into the frame. 4. The maximum amount of Double Hinged panels attached together is two. 5. When ordering the Panel Quantity must match the Layout Code. 6. Ordering a Double Hinged without a bottom frame is not recommended.

Extra Framing for Hinged and Double Hinged Panels

T Posts ▪ Used when more than two panels may be required in an opening. ▪ You can specify where you require the T Post to be situated; it is most commonly placed

where a window mullion is. Exceptions can be when the window catch may be rendered difficult to access behind a T Post. In this case, position the T post elsewhere, or consider using a frame that offers more clearance.

▪ This must be specified on the order form and is measured from the left hand side of the opening to the centre of each mullion.

▪ When measuring for T Posts it is suggested that these are placed where there is an existing window mullion in the glass. Please always specify on the order form where you want the ‘T’ Post to be, this is measured from the left to the centre of where you would like the ‘T’ Post to be. If there is more than one ‘T’ Post required, then the second ‘T’ Post and the third ‘T’ Post (and so on) are also measured from the left.

▪ T Posts can also be used horizontally to split panels in an opening instead of using a mid-rail.

9. Fixed Panels There are 3 options for Fixed Panels

9.1 Fixed Removable Panels The best mounting method for Fixed Removal Panels is by using a U Channel at the top and bottom (like a flyscreen type), which are easy to remove by simply lifting the panel up and removing out of the bottom U Channel first. Please refer to the Shutter Range & Mounting Methods Reference Charts for Fixed Removable Panels minimum and maximum dimensions. Please note:

1. When ordering, there is NO Layout Code Required; however, the Panel Quantity must be specified. (Where more than one panel is required in an opening Rabbet stiles are used to reduce any light gaps between panels).

2. Light Stop is supplied for the front side of the panel, when selected in the “Left & Right” Framing Columns on the order form.

3. Extra Light Stop can be ordered for the back, these needs to be requested in the “Extras” section on the order form. “Please supply 2 lengths @ 20mm x 5mm in Fauxwood White” (This would be required if used as a room divider).

4. Suitable for Recess Fit only.

Any additional extras required must be noted in the Extra’s Section of the Order Form. Please see example below;

57

9.2 Fixed Panels with Magnets Panels Fixed with Magnets are fitted in frames. This option is used when you like to aesthetics of the frame but the panel is unable to open due to an obstruction. Please Note: 1. To order the entire opening Fixed with Magnets, complete the order form as for hinged

panels and select the “Panels Fixed with Magnets & Catches” option on one of this item’s Standard Special Comments columns.

2. To order specific panels to be fixed with magnets with other hinges panels in the opening, complete the order form as for hinged panels and note in the Special Comments which panel(s) numbered from left to right that should be Fixed with Magnets and Catches.

3. Width and drop guidelines are the same as hinged panels, please see Shutter Range & Mounting Methods Reference Charts

9.3 Fixed Panels with Beading Panels Fixed with Beading are suitable for reveal fit only. Each item is supplied with 8 lengths of 19x19 Light Stop. Lengths of beading are fixed to the top, bottom and either side of the opening; then the panel(s) are placed against this beading and another row of beading is fixed on the opposite face, holding the panels permanently in position. These panels are not removeable, would be ideal for room dividers. Please Note: 1. To order Fixed with Beading, fill in the order form except the columns from Layout Code to

Bottom Frame. Select “Panels Fixed with Light Stop Beading Front & Back” option on one of this item’s Standard Special Comments columns.

10 Bi Fold Panels Please refer to the Shutter Range & Mounting Methods Reference Charts for Bi Fold Panels minimum and maximum dimensions. Please note:

1. When ordering Bi Fold shutters, due to the nature of the hardware, an even number of panels folding each way is essential e.g. if there were 4 panels, 2 panels could open each way. If there were 6 panels, they need to either open all 6 panels to one side or 2 panels to one side and 4 panels to the other side.

2. When ordering Bi Folds the front of the panel is defined by the side that the panels fold towards.

3. The smaller the panels the less they will protrude into the room when they are folded in at approximately 90 degrees to the wall/architrave.

4. Bi Fold Panels will not fold back 180 degrees to lay flat on a wall. 5. All our panels will come with Rabbet Stiles where the panels meet to ensure the light

gaps are kept to a minimum. 6. If ordering Bi Folds as a room divider extra Fascia and large light blocks (sides) may need

to be ordered for the backside of the shutters 7. When ordering the Panel Quantity must match the Layout Code e.g.:

2 panels = LL 4 panels = LLRR

11.4 Combo (Co Joined) Panels for Sliding Panels Please Note:

1. Combo Panels (Co-Joined) are hinged together and offer a Rabbet Stile in the centre to reduce any light gaps. They are considered significantly stronger than a single panel with a centre stile.

2. They are a great way to enable the installer to carry larger panels to work sites; the two panels are joined together with a Step Hinge and Rabbet Stiles and open up to form one panel mounted in the sliding tracks.

3. The maximum panel width for Timber Eco Sliding Panels is 1500mm (Combo Panel). 4. The maximum panel width for Fauxwood Standard Sliding Panels is 1300mm (Combo

Panel). 5. “Combo Panels” must also be selected in the standard Special Comments section of the

order form. 6. When ordering Combo Panels the Layout code is double the panel quantity as a Combo

Panel is considered as 1 single panel e.g. ▪ 2 panels = BB FF ▪ 4 Panels = BB FF FF BB

14 Shaped Shutters

14.1 Shaped Shutters Templates and Drawings Shaped Shutters can be a great option for covering uniquely shaped windows or cut outs in walls. Please Note:

1. Shaped shutters will require either: a. A traced Template for curved shapes. b. A line Drawing with angles for straight line shapes. c. Before shapes are manufactured, the factory will supply drawings, which must be

approved via email. This ensures the shape will be made to correct size.

2. The use of framing on all Shaped Shutters is highly recommended, either the Z or L Frame depending on the accuracy/variance of the opening. Z frame is best for recess fit as most shapes are square stopped and will have some variances

3. The Drawing for straight line shapes and Templates for curved shapes must be supplied

as supporting documentation to the Standard Order Form.

4. “Shaped Shutter – see attached diagram” must be selected in the window type column on the order form

5. Shaped Shutters require a longer lead time due to the specialised processes involved,

the date of order begins from when the factory drawings have been approved (by the customer) and confirmed by the factory.

Drawing Requirements ▪ All measurements included for straight lines and all angles in degrees (must be the same

measurements as stated on the Order Form e.g. Gross Opening Width and Gross Opening Drop).

▪ Clear Electronic Drawings ONLY (we will not accept hand drawn drawings faxed to us). ▪ Layout code on shape. ▪ Customer name and Order Form line item number written on the drawing.

Drawing Example Required

85

Template Requirements ▪ Template cut to the correct size and shape of the window (must be the same

measurements as stated on the Order Form e.g. Gross Opening Width and Gross Opening Drop).

▪ All measurements written on the template. ▪ Louvre Blade Design e.g. Standard Arch or Sunburst Arch. ▪ Customers name and Order Form line item number written on the template. ▪ The received templates are posted to the factory overseas and must be able to be rolled

neatly into a cylinder for posting.

Suggested template materials to trace on: ▪ Clear thin PVC ▪ Corrugated Cardboard ▪ Thin Cardboard/Paper ▪ A template MUST be provided on a material to be rolled up neatly

15 Door Cut Out Door Cuts Outs in a shutter panel can be a great option for accessing an awkwardly placed door handle.

Please Note:

1. Door Cut Outs in Panels must be supplied with a completed drawing in addition to the standard Order Form. Please contact us for the diagram if you do not have this already.

2. “Door Cut Out” – must be selected from the Window Type section of the Order Form;

91

3. The Crucial Measurements for Door Cut Outs are:

a. Bottom of L Frame to bottom edge of cut out b. Bottom of L Frame to top edge of cut out c. Depth of cut out d. Panel Side for the Cut Out

4. Door Cut Outs require a longer lead time due to the specialised processes involved, the

date of order begins from when the factory drawings have been approved (by the customer) and confirmed by the factory.

92

16 Horizontal T Posts Horizontal T Posts can be used in a window to separate or divide the panels at the top of a window to those panels at the bottom of a window when opening, a little like “barn doors”.

▪ A great option to accommodate obstacles like a TV unit, lounge or even a bath situation etc.

▪ A Vertical T Post is recommended to support the Horizontal T Post if panels are to be used below the Horizontal T Post.

▪ A Filler Board up to 220mm deep can be used above or below a Horizontal T Post instead of panels. This is ideal to allow hinged panels to clear a tap, edge of a bath, or on the top of panels to clear a bulk head.

93

17 Hardware and Extra Timbers

17.1 Blade Pins/ Spring Pins

Custom made from nylon for a superior operation.

Tension ▪ Our unique two piece hidden tensioning system within the pins is made from a high quality

non wearing nylon. This ensures long lasting tensioning of the shutter panels and does not require tightening during the use of shutters.

17.2 Herman Joints (Hoffmann Keys) Where possible frames will be fitted with double Herman Joints to firmly hold the mitred joints together to maintain squareness. This is essential for neat mitre joins and perfectly fitted panels. A small and a large Herman Joint will be fitted to each corner of the frame. Some Z Frames are too narrow for a second joiner to be fitted. We recommend screwing these joints square, immediately after inserting the Herman Joiner to ensure the joint remains strong while being fitted. Large Herman Joint Small Herman Joint

20 Shutter Remake Process In the event of Shutter Panels, Frames or Parts being received damaged the following information must be emailed to [email protected]

1. Copy of the original order form.

2. A new order form, clearly showing the shutter(s) that need remaking. Please specify

that the order is a remake – failure to do so may result in the original order being placed as a new order at full charge.

3. A detailed description specifying exactly what the concern is and exactly what

panels/frames etc. need remaking. Failure to clearly specify this information may result in a longer lead time. More often than not the fastest solution to rectify a concern is to order the parts only required e.g. Louvre Blades and Pins, Framing Section etc.

4. Supporting photographs illustrating any concerns. For example – if the panels/frames

supplied were too short, photographs to show a tape measure being held against the panels/frames, to clearly illustrate the size they were supplied at are required, as shown below.

Or if the panel is believed to be bowed then a photo must be provided of the panel lying down on a flat surface as shown below.


104

21 Care and Maintenance

21.1 Care and Maintenance Fauxwood and Timber Eco Shutters

Cleaning and Care The surfaces of the Fauxwood and Timber Eco Shutters will collect a layer of dust over time. Normal and regular dusting with a soft damp cloth will remove this build up. If further cleaning is required, wash with mild soap (mild household dishwashing liquid), water (damp only) and a soft cloth. Ensure the surfaces are dried with a soft cloth. For stubborn dirt and stains use a mild, water-based household cleaner. Should Timber ECO shutters be caught in a rain shower and become wet, all water must be

dried as soon as possible. A hair-drier on a cold setting can be used to blow any water out from

between the stile and blades and a soft towel used to ensure no water is left between and

around the frame and panel.

Pencil-like marks can form on light coloured painted shutters due to some metals coming into

contact with the paint, such as rings and other jewellery. These marks are removed with a small

amount of Eucalyptus Oil on a soft cloth.

CAUTION: Never use harsh cloths, harsh abrasives, chlorine or ammonia based chemicals or cleaners on the Fauxwood and Timber Eco Shutters surfaces as they may affect the surface appearance and longevity.

105

22 Shutter Questions & Answers

Q: Panel sizes? A: Panel sizes will vary depending on the material used (i.e. Fauxwood/Timber Eco), the blade size chosen (63/89mm), and also the chosen Mounting Method/Mode of Operation etc.

Q: What is Fauxwood made from? A: Fauxwood Shutter is best described as VOC Compliant PVC

Q: Can Fauxwood be used for external application? A: No, despite being waterproof and having high tensile polyurethane coatings, Fauxwood is only warranted under internal use.

Q: Should Timber Eco be used in wet areas? A: We would recommend using Fauxwood for wet areas such as bathrooms.

Timber ECO Shutters are moisture resistant, not water proof. They are able to withstand normal levels atmospheric humidity. Water is able to penetrate Paulownia timber, as it has a light, open grain. Should Timber Eco Shutters become wet, they should be dried as soon as possible and not allowed prolonged, or repeated contact with water. If water penetrates the timber, the finish and product will be effected when the water dries, as water vapour is formed and can cause expansion. If shutters are likely to become wet, or exposed to moisture in excess of normal atmospheric levels (such as a steamy bathroom, or rain through an open window), please order Fauxwood, as water damage is not covered by the Timber Eco warranty.

Q: What deductions are taken for inside mount? A: For Hinged Panels in frames the deduction for inside mount is 3.2mm in the width and also the drop. Refer to Framing for Hinged Panels

Q: Can Bullnose Z Frame be used for outside mount? A: No, Z Frames including the Bullnose Z Frame are only for reveal fit applications. Refer page Mounting Methods

Q: Do I need framing for my shutters? A: Yes, framing should always be ordered and used on shutters as a secure anchorage for the panels, for reducing light penetration, and to assist in compensating for out of square openings.

Q: When do I need a T Post? A: When more than one panel is used in a window opening and the T Post is used to hinge a panel. Refer to T Posts

Q: Do I need to supply a diagram for Bays or Corner windows? A: Yes, if the window is to be ordered as one complete opening (Shutter), using either a Bay Post (135 degree) or Corner Post (90 degree), this post becomes an integral part of the layout code please see Example of Specific Diagrams

106

Q: What width is the mid rail? A: Fauxwood Eco, Night and Timber Eco Mid rails are 79.5mm in width (depth). Fauxwood Eco Elite and Fauxwood Air midrails are 98mm. Refer to Mid Rail

Q: Why can’t my mid rail be at the height I have requested? A: We recommend ordering a Mid Rail location as “Critical Mid Rail” in the Special Comments, as the factory has a (MAA) Mid Rail Adjustment allowance of 40mm up or down, if “Critical Mid rail” has not been specified in the Special Comments. Every effort will be made to have the mid rail placed in the exact position requested but there can be some variances, depending on the height of the panels. Refer to Mid Rail

Q: Why can’t I have two mid rails critical? A: Shutters over 2500mm high will require two mid rails, however only one of those mid rails can be specified as “Critical Mid rail” – please note this on the order form, in the Special Comments. Every effort will be made to have the “Critical Mid rail” mid rail placed in the exact position requested, however the second mid rail cannot be Critical as the overlaps and increments for every blade location have to be exact, so the second mid rail height will vary depending on the height of the panel and the number of full blades required. Refer to Mid Rail

Q: Can I have an uneven amount of panels for a bi fold? A: No, Bi folds must always have an even number to operate refer to Bi Fold Panels

Q: Do I need a bottom track on Bi Fold or Sliding Shutters? A: Yes, they should always have a bottom track for efficient operation and longevity (Sliders only can use a Floor Guide if a track is not suitable, but tracks are strongly advised). Refer to Tracking for Bi Fold Panels

Q: Do I need a template for shaped shutters? A: Yes, if the shape is curved, the shape of the opening must be accurately traced onto a template suitable to roll to post. If the shape is angles with straight lines only, a template is not required. Instead a drawing showing the measurements and angles is required. Refer to Shaped Shutters Templates and Drawings

Q: Do I need pictures of faulty goods? A: Yes, we need detailed photos. These are vital communication aids which the factory requires to support your claim, and to help to establish what needs to be replaced in order to achieve a quick resolution refer to Shutter Remake Process

Q: Do you need the goods back once we have replaced them? A: Not unless requested by Pacific.

Q: What’s my lead time on shutters? A: Between 5 and 10 weeks from order confirmation dependant on the product required (i.e. once all information received on the order form is correct and complete without further questions).
