Shutter Care and Maintenance

Care & Maintenance

To maintain the appearance and increase the longevity of your shutters, please follow the care instructions below.

General Operation

When rotating blades tilt two blades at the same time from the centre of the panel.
To open hinged panels, tilt open blades and pull the fixed stile.
Never open or close the panels by pulling the blades.
To avoid damage to the frame, larger panels should be lifted into frame by the stile or under the mid rail.
Do not put hands through blades to access window.
Blades must be closed before panels of bi-fold shutters are folded back.
If blades are stiff or loose, adjust the tension screw located on the side of the panels until desired tension is reached.

Care and Cleaning Instructions

Dust panels with feather duster or gently vacuum with a soft brush attachment.
To remove persistent dirt or stains use a soft slightly damp cloth with mild soapy solution and dry immediately.
Do not use abrasive cleaners or scrub or rub shutters harshly to avoid tarnishing finish.
Keep Sliding and Bi-Fold tracks free from dirt and dust.
Use silicone spray if needed on tracks only. Do not spray silicon on shutters.
Rotate blades regularly to maintain longevity of function.
