There was nothing out of the ordinary to assess except that the client had already had some shutters installed by another retailer, whose products do vary somewhat from ours.
The only noticeable differences between the original shutters and ours, was the hinges and the tilt control. We use a standard barrel hinge that can be seen and the original shutters used a concealed version. One advantage with our hinges is that they can be adjusted to level the panels, either at install or in the future if required.
With regard to the tilt control, the original shutters had a bar connection on the reverse of the panel, whereas ours have an inbuilt mechanism that is not visible, and are therefore truly hidden.
Fitted in three framed sections between the window mullions, we installed two three-part, angled bays in the front bedrooms and a large straight landing to complete the external aspect.
Using a 63mm louvre in Pure White with a hidden tilt control mechanism, the job was installed without any fuss, within our normal lead time.
