Description and Features Superior in strength and durability to real-wood, our Select Faux Wood Shutters are engineered with exemplary quality for a lifetime of natural looking beauty and performance. These elegant yet affordable custom window treatments are built from the inside out for greater stability than regular wood shutters and with higher heat resistance that surpasses vinyl and PVC products. Manufactured using the same process as the Norman Woodlore™ shutter, their natural wood-like core is constructed of layers of reinforced wood bonded together in an innovative process that resists twisting, bowing, cupping and warping. The solid MDF composite wood core is covered in a patented polypropylene coating, so they won’t fade, chip, stain, or crack. These eco-friendly interior faux wood shutters can really take the heat, too. Designed to withstand temperatures up to 140 degrees F, they won't sag when exposed to heat like many hollow vinyl products. To ensure tight closure and smooth panel and louver operation, longer, corrosion-resistant stainless steel staples hold tilt rods to the louvers and are secured with special glue for a failure-proof tilt rod attachment system. These stylish, easy-to-clean products come in four of the most popular fashion whites. Customize your look with 2-1/2, 3-1/2, or 4-1/2-inch louvers in a variety of configurations, frame and tilt types. Choose a matching hinge color (or upgrade to modern stainless steel hardware) and from included accessories like panel locks and ring pulls. Any way you go, these interior window coverings are too good to be true. Sample them today and see for yourself. Reinforced engineered stiles for more durable shutter support and light blockage between panels UV protection prevents fading and sun damage Mortise and tendon joinery resists shear and racking forces for prolonged stability and durability Pre-installed magnets and hinges, pre-mitered frames and slotted keyholes for easy assembly and installation Child-safe, no cords Free of lead and heavy metal substances Limited lifetime warranty Free shipping Specifications Minimum width: 12" Maximum width: 96" Minimum height: 12" Maximum height: 120" Inside Mount Deductions: 1/8" 30 inch maximum width for single panel For Panels over 62 inches in height, a dividing rail is suggested. For Panels over 74 inches tall, a dividing rail is required Invisible tilt for products over 55" tall will be split, allowing you to tilt the top and bottom halves of louvers independently Dividing rail has a standard height of 3". Up to 2" of deviation from center is acceptable depending on height. Panel locks are brushed-nickel in color. Placement of locks is typically in the center bottom of the treatment. Steel hinges are recommended for coordination Ring pull will be color matched to the hinge selection Measuring Considerations There will be sizable light gaps when ordering the L Frame for inside mount applications on windows with no existing molding. We suggest upgrading to a Z Frame. Min. depth of 2 1/4" is required for 2.5" louver; Min. depth of 2 7/8" is required for 3.5" louver. Min. depth of 3 1/2" is required for 4.5" louver. Outside mounted will arrive at ordered width and height. Frame additions are necessary to properly clear window opening and allow the shutter to be installed. Add 4" to window opening measurements for L Frame. Add 5 1/2 " for 2" Deco Frame (If window has protruding window sill, add only 2" to height for L Frame and 2 3/4" to height for Deco Frame). When ordering adjacent shutters in the same room, to achieve a uniform appearance you must specify that all adjacent shutters and their divider rails be built exactly the same height. If the measurements of them differ slightly, apply one of the three options: 1) For outside mounts, increase the ordered height of the smaller one to equal the taller one. 2) For inside mounts, reduce the ordered height of the taller one to equal the smaller one (not recommended for L Frame). 3) For inside mounts with height differences of 1/2" or more, change to an outside mount.
