our shutters

Tension adjustment screw
One of the most tiresome experiences of shutter owner is staple failure.  we use extra-long stainless steel staples in the louvers and tilt-rod to insure that they do not pull out.  The stainless steel staple is resistant to corrosion and temperature changes, which assures that the staples will hold for the life of the shutter panle.

hidden, recessed magnets
We adopt the use of hidden, recessed magnets which allow our shutter panels to close tightly while also providing a clean and streamlined apperance.

Motise and Tenon Joints for Strength
The industry standard for the joinery of stile and rail are relying on just glued, dowel joints or screw joints.  These will eventually work loose as sold at local home imporvement centers.
Motise & Tenon joints are designed to allow for maximum glue surface area to withstand shear and racking stress and to ensure the safety.  This joinery have been used for centuries in demanding furniture and building construction because of their combination of superior strength and simplicity.

Motised for hinges
Motised hinges are important to achieve a tight fit within your window opening.  Without a mortised panel, a gap appears on the hanging side that allows light to break between the panel and selected frame.
Basic material, construction and finish are elements of quality in any hinge.  A good hinge should have at lease five-knuckle joint for better load distribution and smoother, quieter action.  Pivot hinges should have firmly riveted joint pins.
The material from which the hinges is made should be sufficiently heavy to prevent sagging and should be resistant to normal moisture.

Multiple sequences hand sand & acrylic lacquer finish
We perform multiple sequences of sanding with finer sandpaper and coating with high-quality stain or paint.  The classic acrylic lacquer finish produces the characteristics: hardness, strenght, UV-resistance, water-resistance and color retention.
