Two awning windows side by side usually require one panel or an offset cetner rail to allow at least onee window to open. The distance between the awning windows when they are open is almost always less than the width of the center rails. Multi-panel shutters can have a control for each panel or one control for all the panels combined. The limiting factor for one control in this type of shutter is the total weight that a given control can lift. Only the electrically-operated shutters are exempt from this limitation. Measurement of multi-panel shutters need to be drawn out as follows or use the back side of the order form.
Measure the total width including the space occupied by the rail for a milti-panel shutter. Measure each panel on center Wheatbelt will figure rail and mullion needs accordingly. In shutters with a total width of over 10ft. or with multiple controls, a wider center rail is needed to support a carrier bearing or make room for the control. Center rails range from 3" for the VM style to 4.625" for the large V slat system. Back to How do I measure? |
