How To Fit - Step 1: Build The Frames & Mark The Fixing Positions
Unpack the Frames & Lay the Pieces on the floor.
They will be labelled Left, Right, Top and Bottom.
Connect The Frame Pieces Together
L Frames (Inside the window recess fitting)
Slide each corner together using the connector keys in the frames
Z Frames (Edge of window recess fitting)
Secure the Z frames to the edge of the window recess with provided screws and pre drilled holes.
&npsp;
&npsp;
Position The Frame Within The Window Recess
Lift the frame into position and centre it within the width of the recess.
Use packer wedges to keep an even gap either side.
If possible, use a spirit level to check the frame is levelled.
For large frames ask someone to help you lift into place.
&npsp;
&npsp;
Pre Drill Fixing Points
Position frame within the window recess
Pre Drill positions for Left Top and Right Top screws first
Mark Drilling Positions by screwing the screws partially into the wall, then unscrew them.
Take the frame away.
Now Pre-Drill the fixing points, removing all the screw covers from the pre drilled holes in the frame.
&npsp;
How To Fit - Step 2: Attach The Frame To The Window
Screw top fixing points
Drill a hole for the Left Top and Right Top fixing points.
Insert the wall plugs into the wall.
Attach the frame to the recess
Insert screws halfway so you can make adjustments whilst inserting the rest of the screws
Attach Remaining Screws To Fixing Points
Insert the rest of the screws into the pre drilled holes so they are ready to mark the hole when the frame is positioned.
How to Fit - Step 3: Shutter Panel Fitting & Adjustments
Mount The Shutter Panels
Panels come labelled. They must be mounted from left to right, being A the one on the very left and B the one on the right if the shutter contains just 2 panels.
If your shutter contains 4 panels, A and B are the two on the left and C and D the two on the right.
Ensure they are right way up with the label on the top edge.
Secure sliding the hinge pin into each hinge.
Line up panels
Close the panels and move the frame left to right until the panels line up at the top.
Pack the frame and make holes
Once the panels are lined up at the top, pack the frame, open the panels and mark the position of the screw holes by partially screw them in to mark the wall.
Remove the screws.
How To Fit - Step 4: Final Fixings
Screw the rest of fixing points
Carefully remove the hinge pins, the panels, unscrew the Left Top and Right Top screws and lift down the frame.
Using a power drill make a hole for the rest of the fixing point.
Then insert the wall plugs into the wall.
Tighten screws
Once all fixing points were drilled and all holes have a wall plug in it, bring back the frame to the recess.
*Pack the frame as before so all drilled holes in the wall align with the frame holes.
Place all the other screws into the frame.
Finally Re-mount the Shutter Panels
Mount the panels back as before securing them with the hinge pins.
How To Fit - Step 5: Finishing Touches
Adjust the hinges (Optional)
If needed, you can do small adjustments to the hinges:
A- Use the hinge packers to adjust the Z axis.
B- Adjust the hinges vertically by loosing the external screws and moving the panel vertically.
C- Once adjusted, put the middle locking hinge screw.
Fit Screw Hole Covers
Fit the screw covers to the screw holes.
Seal Shutter Frame Gaps
Use decorators caulk to seal the gaps between the frame and the window recess.
For Z-Frames (edge of window recess) You may also seal gaps between the mitred corners and where the frame meets the wall.
