5. Panel Specifications
When you measure and order the Shutter panels, the panel sizes must are not over the
maximum width and drop. The size limitation varies from the deferent products and
deferent method of installations, please check the following table carefully. The Factory
will offer any warranty if panels exceeds this limit.
3, Top & Bottom Rail Range
Top and Bottom rail heights are usually in the same size, but when looking in the front of
the panel, the bottom rail appear to be 10mm higher then the top rail, due to the top rail
has a cut out section for blade over lapping in the front of the panel.
The factory will adjust the top and bottom rail height according to the height of the panel
to assure the top and bottom rails are in the right proportion with the panel height. The
table below is the top and bottom rail height range in the deferent height of panels.
However, under certain circumstances, such as to match the similar top and bottom rail
height in the same room, the factory may make the top and bottom rail height deferent
from the formula in this table.,
4, Mid Rail Specification

10. 10 / 25
4.1 Mid Rail Requirements
In order to ensure strength and stabilities of the panels, Mid Rail is required when
Shutter panels reached to certain heights. The mid rail requirements varies from
deferent materials. Foamwood requires Mid Rail when panel height is or exceed
1600mm; Basswood and Cedar require Mid Rail when panel height is or exceed 1800.
Please refer to the table below for the details.
Mid Rail Position
Mid Rail position is measured from the bottom of the Shutters (including the frame).
However, the Mid Rail position may not be in the exact spot as specified, it varies from
19mm to 50.80mm depending on the size of blades. Please refer to the table below.
4.2 Mid Rail Position
Mid Rail position is measured from the bottom of the Shutters (including the bottom
frame). However, the Mid Rail position may not be in the exact spot as desired, it varies
from 19mm to 50.80mm depending on the size of blades. Please refer to the table
below.
Mid Rail Position Variation Range

11. 11 / 25
4.3 Critical Mid Rail position
If the Mid Rail position is critical, please state in the “Special Instructions” in the Order
Form. However, critical mid rail position may incur in the bottom rail smaller or much
bigger then the top rail which might be not perfect for visual effects.
5 Tilt Rod
There are two types of tilt rods, Centre Tilt Rod and concealed Clearview Tilt Rod.
Centre Tilt Rod
Centre Tilt Rod positioned in the middle of the panel. For
bi-fold Shutters linked with more then 2 panels, the Tilt Rod
will be one tilt rod size off the centre to allow the panels fold
flat against each other. Centre Tilt Rod made of PVC for all
timber and Foamwood Shutters, due to PVC’s advantage of
stability.
Offset Tilt Rod
Offset Tilt Rod will be placed 40mm from the edge of the
panel. And the Tilt Rod will be in the hinge side or the wall
side.
Off Centre Tilt Rod
Off Centre Tilt Rod means the Tilt Rod is installed 10mm off
the centre of the panel, towards to the hinge side or the wall
side.
Clearview Tilt Rod
The aluminium Clearview Tilt Rod is connected to the end of
the blade, and there is a cutout on the edge of the blade
where the Tilt Rod connected.
Better don’t link too many blades in one CV tilt rod. The less
number of blades linked to a CV Tilt Rod, the blades close
better. There is a limitation on the quantity of blades for CV
Tilt Rod, please refer to the chart below.
If the CV Tilt Rod exceeds the limitation, the factory will
automatically split the Tile Rod into two sections. If the blades
are in a odd number, the lower section will be the large
number.
