Description
PVC solid panel shutters are built with stiles and rails surrounding a central panel. Three panel designs are available: raised, flat and shaker.
The substantial 1.25-inch-thick construction allows these shutters to be permanently mounted beside a window or installed with functional hinges to swing open and closed.
Raised panel shutters provide traditional architectural depth, flat panel shutters offer a clean and simple appearance, and shaker shutters incorporate vertical grooves for the look of individual boards within a framed panel.
Each custom exterior shutter is made to order with custom dimensions and a choice of panel design, top profile, divider rail configuration, installation method and finish.

Heavy-duty PVC panel shutters are built with solid PVC stiles and rails surrounding a solid composite center panel. The stiles and rails are 1.25 inches thick and joined with exterior polyurethane adhesive and threaded screws to create a strong, substantial assembly.
The composite center panel is available in raised, flat and shaker designs. Raised panels have a beveled face for added depth, flat panels have a smooth face, and shaker panels use vertical grooves to create the appearance of individual boards. The back of the center panel is flat and less detailed than the presentation face.
PVC does not absorb moisture like natural wood, making the frame well suited for exterior applications. Proper painting and routine maintenance help protect the complete shutter assembly and preserve its appearance.
Customize PVC Panel Shutters
Dimensions
Select the finished width and height of each individual shutter, not the dimensions of the window.
PVC panel shutters are available from 12 to 36 inches wide and 18 to 95 inches tall, in 0.25-inch increments.
For functional installation, shutters must be sized to cover the window opening while allowing sufficient clearance to operate. Depending on window depth and the selected hardware, functional shutters may close within the window opening or in front of the window casing.
Stationary shutters are sized primarily for appearance and proportion beside the window. Traditional proportions generally approximate one-half the window opening width for each shutter, although available wall space and architectural details may influence the final dimensions.
Choose from three panel designs. Panels have detail on the front and are flat on the back.
Raised Panel The raised panel has a beveled perimeter that produces additional depth and a traditional architectural appearance. Raised panel shutters are commonly associated with Colonial, Georgian and other traditional home styles.
Flat Panel The flat panel has a smooth face surrounded by the PVC stiles and rails. Its simpler profile works with both traditional and contemporary architecture.
Shaker Panel The shaker panel starts with a flat center panel and adds vertical grooves to create the appearance of individual boards. This configuration is often used on farmhouse, cottage and casual architectural styles.
The number of grooves in a shaker panel varies with shutter width to maintain balanced proportions.
Top Profile
Choose a straight or arch top profile.
A straight top is appropriate for standard rectangular windows. Arch-top shutters can follow the contour of an arched window and are ordered as either Arch Left or Arch Right.
For a pair of arch-top shutters, one left and one right shutter are normally required. A custom arch also requires a springline measurement from the top of the shutter down to the point where the arch begins.
Divider Rail
A divider rail is a horizontal frame member that separates the center panel into two sections. It can also visually align the shutter with a horizontal window feature such as a sash or mullion.
A divider rail is optional on shutters shorter than 90 inches and required at 90 inches or taller.
Depending on shutter height, select:
No divider rail
One centered divider rail
One divider rail at a custom location
Two divider rails at custom locations
For a custom location, measure from the bottom of the shutter to the center of the divider rail.
When two divider rails are selected, measure from the bottom of the shutter to the center of the first divider rail. Then, measure from the bottom of the shutter to the center of the second divider rail.
Installation
No Hardware
Select No Hardware when the required mounting hardware will be obtained separately. Functional installations require separately sourced hinges and lower supports. This option may also be selected for stationary shutters installed with a mounting method other than ShutterLand’s fixed brackets. ShutterLand recommends installing with a hinge and shutter dog support kit (Amazon link). If suitable hanging hinges are already installed or will be purchased separately, a shutter dog support kit can be purchased separately to hold the shutters open and provide the required lower support.
Functional PVC solid panel shutters require hanging hinges distributed along the shutter height and a lower support beneath the bottom edge opposite the hinges when fully open.
Shutter Height
Minimum Functional Support
Under 84 inches
Top hinge + bottom hinge + 1 intermediate hinge + 1 lower support
84 inches or taller
Top hinge + bottom hinge + 2 intermediate hinges + 1 lower support
Fixed Brackets
Select Fixed Brackets when the shutters will remain permanently mounted beside the window. The mounting system uses an aluminum French cleat at the top of the shutter and L-shaped brackets at the bottom and sides.
The French cleat supports the shutter’s weight from above. The L-brackets secure the lower and side edges and prevent the shutter from lifting off the cleat. Mounting screws must reach an appropriate structural surface rather than relying on siding alone.
PVC panel shutters are available unfinished, factory primed or factory painted.
Unfinished – Paint Grade The shutters arrive ready for final preparation and painting. Both the solid PVC frame and composite center panel must be properly prepared and primed before painting to promote adhesion and ensure a durable exterior finish.
Primed A factory-applied primer prepares the shutters for exterior painting after delivery.
Painted – Standard Color Choose from nine exterior shutter standard paint colors. Factory-painted shutters arrive finished and ready for installation. Touch-up paint is included.
Benjamin Moore Standard Color
White (+$) Black Charcoal Slate Black Forest Green Chrome Green Hamilton Blue Country Redwood Cottage Red Tudor Brown
Painted – Custom Color PVC shutters can be matched to virtually any exterior paint color by providing the paint manufacturer, color name and color number. Custom color matching is a one-time charge of $250 per color, not per shutter. Custom white or light-base colors may require an additional $35 per shutter, presented for approval before processing.
PVC shutters are priced and ordered individually, not as pairs.
Most windows use two shutters, so a typical window requires a quantity of 2. Shutters are sold individually because some installations require only one shutter or a single replacement.
Enter the total number of individual shutters needed in the Quantity field.
Production Time
PVC panel shutters are made to order. Current production time is approximately 5-7 weeks before shipment. Production estimates are updated as manufacturing demand changes.
Shipping
Standard shipping for PVC shutters is $100 per order.
Shipping is FREE when the shutter order exceeds $1,000.
A flat oversized shipping rate of $300 is applied when an individual shutter within the order has a width equal to or more than 24" or a height equal to or more than 86".
PVC Shutter Maintenance
PVC panel shutters require relatively little routine maintenance. Periodically wash painted surfaces with mild soap and water to remove dirt, pollen and other residue.
Inspect painted surfaces for scratches, chips or other damage and touch up the finish as needed. Functional installations should also be inspected periodically to confirm that hinges, pintles, lower supports and fasteners remain secure.
Avoid abrasive pads, harsh commercial cleaners or aggressive pressure washing that can damage the painted surface.

Measure PVC Shutters
PVC exterior shutters install to the side of the window using one of two methods.
Stationary shutters permanently attach to the side of the window in a fixed location with included mounting brackets.
Functional shutters mount with operable exterior hardware to pivot from a position flanking the window to cover the window opening.
How the window is measured depends on which of these two options is selected.

Faux Tilt Bar
A tilt bar is a narrow vertical wood rod that interconnects a group of horizontal louvers. A tilt bar used in conjunction with movable louvers unifies the slats and allows them to rotate at one time. Louvers on ShutterLand premium wood louvers are fixed in position and do not rotate. A faux tilt bar can be attached to replicate the appearance of movable louvers, usually for historical purposes. Selection of a tilt bar adds $75 to the price of each shutter.
Most exterior shutter applications do not require a tilt bar.
Faux Tilt Bar - Shutter With a Divider Rail
If a divider rail is employed, the tilt bar can be added to all louver sections or only added to one section.
After incorporating a tilt bar, it is necessary to establish if the tilt bar will be applied to all louvers and if the louvers will be in an up or down position.
Faux Tilt Bar - Louvers Down
The tilt bar can be attached on the side of the shutter with the louvers in a down position.
Faux Tilt Bar - Louvers Up
The tilt bar can be attached on the side of the shutter with the louvers in an up position.
Red Grandis
Red Grandis is a nearly perfect high quality hardwood to manufacture exceptional exterior shutters. It has straight tight grain and minimal knotting, resulting in a consistently smooth texture. The fibers are relatively uniform in color with variations from light pink to dark red, and accept paint or stain well. Red Grandis is dimensionally stable and extremely strong.
Cedar
Cedar is the most common and recognizable tree species for the construction of outdoor shutters. This aromatic timber is resistant to both insects and decay. Cedar has condensed grain with few knots, resulting in straight handsome shutters with tones of red, brown, and tan. Cedar paints and stain well.
Mahogany
Mahogany has a compact grain with a rich, warm, reddish-brown hue. Mahogany shutters are strong, sturdy, and moisture resistant. Mahogany is relatively easy to finish and is heavier than other woods offered.

Southern Yellow Pine
Southern Yellow Pine is the most affordable solid wood option. This wood has a beautiful golden color with a distinct wood grain pattern that is 99.9% knot free. It is kiln-dried to minimum moisture content and cut to 1″ thick shutters. The joints between stiles and rails are glued, doweled, and screwed for ultimate strength.
Southern Yellow Pine shutters are considered entry-level, or builder grade, with lower performance standards compared to 1.5″ thick premium wood shutters.
Composite exterior shutters install in a stationary position to the side of the window with the included Lexan polycarbonate fixed mounting brackets.
The v-shaped 1-1/8″ x 1-1/8″ brackets are specifically suited for use with outdoor composite shutters. The vertical side of the bracket attaches to the building and the horizontal side to the top or bottom of the shutter. The brackets extend the full width of the shutter and are not easily visible after installation.

Faux Tilt Bar
A tilt bar is a narrow vertical wood rod that interconnects a group of horizontal louvers. Historically, a tilt bar unifies a group of movable louvers to allow them to rotate at one time. ShutterLand composite louvers are fixed in a downward-pointing position and do NOT rotate. A faux tilt bar can be attached to replicate the appearance of movable louvers, usually for historical purposes. Selection of a tilt bar adds $75 to the price of each shutter.
Most exterior shutter applications do not require a tilt bar.
Composite Shutters
ShutterLand composite shutters are constructed from Extira. The material is manufactured from sustainable wood fibers and marine-grade resins to form large 1.25″ thick solid straight sheets. Individual components are then milled and fabricated into custom shutters. Extira is designed for outdoor applications where humidity and moisture varies. It is strong and resilient with a long projected life.
Unfinished shutters are raw with no finish applied. Small blemishes may be repaired with wood filler, which will arrive sanded smooth and ready to finish. Filled areas will not diminish the integrity of the shutter or show through the paint. The PVC stiles and rails do not require priming for paint adhesion. The central solid panels are constructed from composite and do need to be primed before painting.
Primed
Primed shutters are sprayed with General Finishes Enduro White Undercoat primer / sealer. This primer provides complete coverage to seal the porous raw surface, block stains and prevent bleed-through. The medium gray primed surface will need to be sanded with 220 grit sandpaper and wiped clear of dust before painting.
Standard Paint Colors
Select from 9 standard paint colors. Painted exterior shutters are sprayed with two ultra-durable, water-borne commercial-grade General Finishes Exterior 450 Topcoat acrylic top coats. The factory applied paint covers all surfaces in a smooth satin sheen finish.
Choose a custom paint color for a one-time amount of $250 to match the color (NOT per shutter). Provide the paint manufacturer, color name, and color code to match. Or a color chip or physical sample may be mailed to match.
Painted PVC exterior shutters are lightly sanded and sprayed with two ultra-durable, water-borne commercial-grade General Finishes Exterior 450 Topcoat acrylic top coats. The factory applied paint covers all surfaces in a smooth satin sheen finish. The paint manufacturer specifically instructs that PVC shutters not be primed in preparation for application of paint.
Unfinished PVC shutters arrive without paint or other surface finish. Minor imperfections may be repaired with filler and sanded smooth before shipment. These repairs do not compromise the structural integrity of the shutter and will not be visible after painting. PVC shutters do not require priming for proper paint adhesion.

Straight Top Shutters
Straight top shutters are manufactured with a square horizontal top.
Arch Top Shutters
Arch top shutters are made with a curved top.
The specified shutter height is the dimension of the long vertical edge of the shutter.
The required springline is the measurement from the top of the shutter down to the start of the arch.
Composite exterior shutters install in a stationary position to the side of the window with the included Lexan polycarbonate fixed mounting brackets.
The v-shaped 1-1/8″ x 1-1/8″ brackets are specifically suited for use with outdoor composite shutters. The vertical side of the bracket attaches to the building and the horizontal side to the top or bottom of the shutter. The brackets extend the full width of the shutter and are not easily visible after installation.
Wood exterior shutters install to the side of the window using one of two methods.
Stationary shutters permanently attach to the side of the window in a fixed location.
Functional shutters mount with operable exterior hardware to pivot from a position flanking the window to cover the window opening.
How the window is measured depends on which of these two options is selected.

Vinyl Shutters
Vinyl shutters in the 19 standard colors are constructed from Polypropylene. The color is molded through the material and arrive ready to install. Polypropylene cannot be painted. The paintable finish shutters are fabricated from Polystyrene and are a translucent opal in color.
All vinyl shutters have a wood grain textured surface. Both boards and battens are are constructed in the form of a shell, with four sides, a front and a hollow back (shown at left). Both the boards and battens have a cap at either end of the component. The panels can feel flimsy right out of the box and may not have the rigidity one expects from wood or composite shutters. They gain great strength and stability when they are attached to the building.

Louvers Down
Louvers can be oriented in a down position.
This option is recommended.
Louvers Up
Louvers can be oriented in an up position.
Faux Tilt Bar
A tilt bar is a narrow vertical wood rod that interconnects a group of horizontal louvers. A tilt bar used in conjunction with movable louvers unifies the slats and allows them to rotate at one time. Louvers on ShutterLand premium wood louvers are fixed in position and do not rotate. A faux tilt bar can be attached to replicate the appearance of movable louvers, usually for historical purposes. Selection of a tilt bar adds $75 to the price of each shutter.
Most exterior shutter applications do not require a tilt bar.

Red Grandis
Red Grandis is a nearly perfect high quality hardwood to manufacture exceptional exterior shutters. It has straight tight grain and minimal knotting, resulting in a consistently smooth texture. The fibers are relatively uniform in color with variations from light pink to dark red, and accept paint or stain well. Red Grandis is dimensionally stable and extremely strong. Paneled area is composite (see below).
Cedar
Cedar is the most common and recognizable tree species for the construction of outdoor shutters. This aromatic timber is resistant to both insects and decay. Cedar has condensed grain with few knots, resulting in straight handsome shutters with tones of red, brown, and tan. Cedar paints and stain well. Paneled area is composite (see below).
Mahogany
Mahogany has a compact grain with a rich, warm, reddish-brown hue. Mahogany shutters are strong, sturdy, and moisture resistant. Mahogany is relatively easy to finish and is heavier than other woods offered. Paneled area is composite (see below).
Composite Solid Panel
The central solid panel is fabricated from Extira, a composite material manufactured from sustainable wood fibers and marine-grade resins. Extira is designed for outdoor applications where humidity and moisture varies. It is strong, resilient and holds its shape in all weather conditions.
Southern Yellow Pine
Southern Yellow Pine is the most affordable solid wood option. This wood has a beautiful golden color with a distinct wood grain pattern that is 99.9% knot free. It is kiln-dried to minimum moisture content and cut to 1″ thick shutters. The joints between stiles and rails are glued, doweled, and screwed for ultimate strength. Paneled area is composite (see below).
Southern Yellow Pine shutters are considered entry-level, or builder grade, with lower performance standards compared to 1.5″ thick premium wood shutters.

Measure PVC Board & Batten Shutters
PVC exterior shutters install to the side of the window using one of two methods.
Stationary shutters permanently attach to the side of the window in a fixed location.
Functional shutters mount with operable exterior hardware to pivot from a position flanking the window to cover the window opening.
How the window is measured depends on which of these two options is selected.
Vertical Boards
The number of boards is based on the shutter width.
Four available
Closed-weave
7.75″ – 2 boards
11.625″ – 3 boards
15.5″ – 4 boards
19.375″ – 5 boards

No Hardware
Select when installing the shutters with separately purchased hinges or another mounting method.
V-shaped clear Lexan polycarbonate mounting brackets are used to install shutters in a fixed position. One edge of the bracket screws into the building with the included stainless steel screws. The perpendicular edge overlaps the top or bottom edge of the shutter and is secured in place with shorter screws.
The use of installation brackets avoids the need to drill or screw through the face of the shutter. They are clear, so they will not hinder the appearance of the shutter. Installation brackets are $12 per shutter.
No Hardware
Select No Hardware when the required mounting hardware will be obtained separately. Functional installations require separately sourced hinges and lower supports. This option may also be selected for stationary shutters installed with a mounting method other than ShutterLand’s fixed brackets. ShutterLand recommends installing with a hinge and shutter dog support kit (Amazon link). If suitable hanging hinges are already installed or will be purchased separately, a shutter dog support kit can be purchased separately to hold the shutters open and provide the required lower support.
Functional PVC louvered shutters require hanging hinges distributed along the shutter height and a lower support beneath the bottom edge opposite the hinges when fully open.
Fixed Installation Brackets
Select Fixed Brackets when the shutters will remain permanently mounted beside the window. The mounting system uses an aluminum French cleat at the top of the shutter and L-shaped brackets at the bottom and sides.
Hurricane shutters are built with reinforced louvers to withstand high winds and flying debris. They have been impact-tested to comply to the country’s most stringent building codes.
(Heights over 88″ are not hurricane rated)
Decorative-Only Shutters
Bahama-style decorative-only shutters are perfect for everyday use, but do not have reinforced louvers to protect windows from hurricane-force winds and flying objects.
Hurricane impact-rated shutters feature hollow louvers with 0.06-inch thick walls, reinforced internally by three intersecting support walls for added strength. The louvers are 1.5″ wide and 0.3125″ thick at a 25-degree angle. They are positioned on 1.375″ centers, so they slightly overlap with space for air to pass.
1.5" Decorative Louvers
Decorative shutters can be constructed with 1.5-inch hollow louvers with 0.05-inch thick walls. The louvers are 0.3125″ thick and spaced on 1.5″ centers. They are positioned at a 25-degree angle with space between for air to pass.
2" Decorative Louvers
Decorative shutters can be constructed with 2-inch hollow louvers with 0.05-inch thick walls. The louvers are 0.375″ thick and spaced on 1.875″ centers. They are positioned at a 20-degree angle with space between for air to pass.
Measure for Aluminum Bahama Shutters
The shutter size must be ordered in accordance with ShutterLand’s measuring instructions and “Measuring for Aluminum Bahama Shutters” video.
Width & Height
Width: Provide the full shutter width. It is recommended that the shutter overlap the window opening on either side by at least 1 inch.
Measure for Bahama Shutters
Height: Provide the combined dimension of the shutter and the top hinge. The top hinge is 1.5″ tall. It is recommended that the shutter overlap the window opening by at least 1 inch on top and bottom.
A divider rail is an optional horizontal bar (much like the top rail) that creates louver areas above and below the division. The divider rail height is 2″.
No Divider Rail
Bahama shutters constructed without a divider rail provide clean lines and a less obstructed view through the louvers.
One Divider Rail
A divider may be specified in the center or at a custom location. Measure from the bottom of the shutter to the desired center of the divider rail.
The actual location of the divider rail may be slightly higher or lower than requested. The number of louvers will dictate the final placement.
A divider may increase the selected height as noted in the divider rail designation area.
The top hinge of Bahama shutters is made to the same width of the shuter, is finished in the same color and arrives pre-attached.
Standard Bahama Hinge
The standard hinge is 1.5″ in height. The back of the hinge extends 0.1875″ behind the rear side of the shutter.
Build-Out Bahama Hinge
The build-out hinge has all of the same specifications as the standard hinge, except that the back of the hinge extends an additional 1″ behind the rear side of the shutter.
Aluminum shutters can lock in the down position using one of several methods.
Camel Brackets
Camel brackets are included with every aluminum Bahama shutter. They are 1.125″ wide, 2.375″ tall and mount to the building next to the bottom corners of the shutter.
The camel bracket is the lower base of the support arm. A locking pin passes through the camel bracket and into the side of the shutter.
Camel Brackets & Z-Clamps
Z-clamps are used in addition to camel brackets to secure the shutter in a closed position to protect the window from external forces. The clamps can remain in storage for normal operation to be quickly installed in preparation of an impending storm.
Pin Latch
Pin latches are sliding bolts embedded into the bottom rail on either side of the shutter. A tension screw is used to move the bolt and lock it into place. Camel brackets are placed on the building to receive the extended bolt.
Outside Access: The pin latch tension knob is accessible from the outside of the building.
Inside Access: The pin latch tension knob is accessible from the inside of the building. The shutter height ordered needs to be short enough to ensure the knob can be reached through the open window to lock the shutter closed.
Aluminum shutters are powder coated at a 40% gloss for a long durable life.
Standard Colors
Aluminum shutters are available in 20 standard colors. If color is critical, do not make a selection from a digital display. Request color samples for physical onsite examination. Select up to 5 color samples at a cost of $12 or a ring of all standard colors for $32. Shutterland will promptly mail the samples to you for on-site evaluation.
Hurricane shutters are built with reinforced louvers to withstand high winds and flying debris. They have been impact-tested to comply with the country’s most stringent building codes.
Shutters with this designation are ordered as full shutter units to cover the window.
Decorative-Only Shutters
Bahama-style decorative-only shutters are perfect for everyday use, but do not have reinforced louvers to protect windows from hurricane-force winds and flying objects.
Shutters with this designation are ordered as full shutter units to cover the window.
Fixed Decorative-Only Shutters
Aluminum shutters can be installed in a stationary position with fixed brackets. Shutters with this designation are ordered as individual shutters.
The available shutter unit configuration is dependent on the shutter type and unit size ordered.
Fixed Shutter
Available only when “Decorative Only – Fixed Bracket Installation” is designated.
Fixed Bracket Installation shutters are ordered as individual shutters (NOT full units).
Shutters arrive with brackets on top and bottom to secure the shutters to the building in a stationary position.

Hurricane & Decorative Functional Shutter Size
Width: Provide the full shutter unit width. The shutter unit may contain one, two, three, or four panels across (designated in the “Configuration” entry). It is recommended that the shutter overlap the window opening on either side by at least 1 inch. Widths are available in 0.50″ increments for decorative units and 0.25″ for hurricane shutters.
Height: Provide the full shutter unit height. It is recommended that the shutter overlap the window opening by at least 1 inch on top and bottom. Heights are available in intervals that match the louver spacing.
View the “Measuring for Aluminum Colonial Shutters” video before ordering.
Fixed Decorative Shutter Size
Provide the width and height of desired individual shutters. Widths are available in 0.50″ increments and heights in intervals that match the louver spacing.
Decorative shutters are not designed or constructed for storm protection and therefore do not include a method to secure them in a closed position.
Storm Bars
Hurricane impact-rated shutters are automatically equipped with storm bars that secure the unit in preparation for an impending storm.
Storm bars are optional for decorative shutters.
Storm bars are easily removed and stored for common daily operation.
Pin Latch Locks
Pin latches are vertical sliding bolts embedded into the side rails opposite the hinge side. A tension screw is used to move the bolt and lock it into place. A bracket can be attached to the building to receive the latch.
Outside Access: The pin latch tension knob is accessible from the outside of the building.
Inside Access: The pin latch tension knob is accessible from the inside of the building. The shutter height ordered needs to be short enough to ensure the knob can be reached through the open window to lock the shutter closed.
Colonial hinges are pre-attached to the hanging side of the shutter.
Standard Hanging Hinge
Standard depth hinges are available only when a single shutter opens to the side (1 shutter (left), 1 shutters (right), or 2 shutters (1 left, 1 right)). It is not offered with any other configurations.
Build-Out Hanging Hinge
Build-out hinges provide 1″ additional depth to the shutter unit. They are optional when single shutters open to the side of the window. Build-out hinges are required when two shutters hinge together to open to one side (2 shutters (both to one side), 3 shutters, or 4 shutters).
Bahama Hinge
Bahama Hinge
Bahama hinges consist of two pieces. The header component is mounted at the top of the window. The lower piece screws to the top face of the shutter and slides into the header, suspending the shutter in front of the window.
The aluminum hinge is cut to the same width as the shutter. It arrives unfinished and can remain natural (silver) or can be painted.
Standard Hinge
A standard depth hinge is 2.375″ deep and secures just above the window.
Deep Hinge
A build-out hinge is 3.25″ deep and secures just above the window.
Flat Hinge
The flat hinge screws into the window header so the shutter can nest inside of the window opening.

Bahama Shutter Support Arms
Support arms, also known as shutter stays, hold the base of a Bahama shutter away from the window. The larger end of the telescoping pole is secured to a U-shaped bracket attached to the shutter, while a camel bracket fastened to the building holds the smaller pole with an L-shaped pin. A tension o-ring allows for easy angle adjustments. It tightens to lock the shutter in position.
Arm Lengths
12″ Arms:
The 12″ arms extend to a maximum length of 20″ (including the brackets).
18″ Arms:
The 18″ arms extend to a maximum length of 32″ (including the brackets).
24″ Arms:
The 24″ arms extend to a maximum length of 44″ (including the brackets).
Calculate Support Arm Length
Enter shutter height to view the approximate support arm length needed based on the desired lift angle.
Epoxy Prime Coat
An optional epoxy primer can be applied to the aluminum shutter panels before the powder-coated topcoat. The primer improves adhesion and provides an additional layer of protection that can help extend the life of the finish, particularly in coastal environments where salt and moisture can accelerate corrosion and coating wear.
Because the epoxy primer is white, its tone may differ slightly from the selected white powder-coat color. As a result, minor variations in the appearance of the finished white surface may be visible.
The shutter support arms are intentionally not epoxy-primed. Applying both epoxy primer and powder coating to these moving components would add excessive coating thickness and could interfere with smooth operation. The arms therefore receive the powder-coated topcoat only.
Aluminum Shutter Arm Color
Choose whether the shutter support arm will remain standard silver or be powder coated to match the shutter finish.
