Adjust the Tension System
If over a period of time the louvers on your shutters should loosen or not
function properly, a built-in tension system can be adjusted. Simply open the
panels fully and find the tension adjuster screw hole on the side of each panel.
Use a screwdriver to gently turn the screw on each side of the panel to your
desired resistance level. Repeat process for other panel(s) if necessary.
Lifetime Limited Warranty
All Acadia Living shutters have a lifetime limited warranty and will be free from defects in materials or
workmanship for as long as the original retail purchaser owns the shutters, provided that such products
were properly installed in residential dwelling; and such products were made or assembled exclusively
from original materials and components. Any resale or other transfer of the product and/or materials
voids this warranty.
For a complete copy of this warranty, please contact customer service by phone or email.
Maintain Your Shutters
Use a clean dry cloth, feather duster or vacuum with brush attachment to gently remove dust and debris.
To ensure thorough cleaning, wipe the louvers in the open and closed positions.
Do not immerse the product in water and do not use harsh chemicals to clean. This may cause
discoloration and the wood to warp. Ultrasonic cleaning is not recommended. For best results on
Composite Shutters,use a cotton cloth dampened with water. Polyester cloths tend to create static,
which can attract dust.
