Eco PVC Shutter Installation (Face Fit)
Step 2 - Fitting your shutters
2.1
Position the frame evenly around the window opening
and insert a screw into the pre-drilled hole at the top of
the le-hand frame (see Figs  & .). Keeping the top of
the frame level, insert a screw into the pre-drilled hole
at the top of the right-hand frame.
A spirit level can be used to level the top frame if required,
but if architraves are present the frame will usually run ush
with the top or a line on the architrave. This will temporarily
hold your frame in the correct place on the window; the
rest of the framing will be secured in later steps.
For wider frames, a screw may also need to be inserted
centrally into the top frame, to prevent it from sagging. If
tting to brick, then mark the wall through the pre-drilled
holes and insert wall plugs rst.
2.2
Place the left-hand panel into the opening, lining up
the hinge sections in the left L-frame, and then insert
the hinge pins. Repeat for all other panels, working from
le to right across the opening (see Fig. ).

2.3
Assess the panels for squareness to the frame and each
other. If gaps are not even or the panels do not line up to
each other at the top and bottom, adjustments will need
to be made using Hinge Spacers or other materials.
2.4
Adjust the bottom frame to the le or right, until the
gaps are even and the tops and bottoms of adjacent
panels line up. Insert a screw into the bottom of the le frame.
2.5
Re-check that the panels and frame are still square, and
the gaps are even. Stand back and check that the whole
opening is sitting square on the window.
2.6
Insert the rest of the screws into the pre-drilled holes on
all sides of the frame (see Fig. 6). Ifrequired, additional holes
can be drilled in the frames to line up with specic locations.
2.7
Re-check squareness of frames and panels and test the
function of the panels. Carefully press the cover strips
into the corresponding sides of the frame (see Fig. ).
2.8
Caulking can now be used to ll any gaps around the frame
and window. Lastly, if everything is looking good, give the
shutter a nal wipe down clean before use.

Step 1 - Assembling your shutters
1.1
Use a sharp blade to carefully open the delivery boxes
and remove all contents. Then, place the panels in the
correct order on the oor, making sure they are the right
way up, and any rebates match up.
1.2
The framing pieces must be assembled rst; they will be
labelled Top, Bottom, Le and Right (see Fig. ). Position all
the frames face up on the oor.

1.3
The mitres are joined using Homan keys. Place the
Homan key on a hard surface (a piece of ply or timber
is recommended to prevent damage to the oor and to
make sure the key nishes ush with the back of the frame)
with the rounded end of the key facing up. Push each half
of the mitre onto the key, until the mitre joins neatly and
ush. Repeat for each corner (see Fig. ).

1.4
(i) If the opening requires a T-post, identify the top of
the post and position loosely within the frame (see Fig.).
(ii) Place all panels within the frame in their correct order
and insert the hinge pins (see Fig. .).
1.5
Square up the frame so that all hinge and clearance gaps
are even and adjust the position of the T-post so that the
panel gaps are even. Attach the top and bottom frame to
the T-post using the long screws provided.
Pre-drill a pilot hole from the back of the frame to ensure
that when you insert the screw to secure the T-post, the
screw does not punch a hole through the front surface.
Congratulations! Your frame should now be fully assembled.
1.6
Remove the hinge pins and panels from the frame before
tting the shutter to the window frame. Then reassemble
as before.
Please note, these assembly instructions apply to shutters that have
been ordered with more than one panel. If a single panel shutter has
been ordered, it will be supplied pre-assembled.
