RETURNS:

All of items are made to order and Made-to-order items are uniquely created or customized according to the customer's specific requirements. Due to their personalized nature, these items often cannot be returned because they are tailored exclusively to the customer and may lack universal market appeal. Additionally, the production costs, limited demand, and the risk of damage make it impractical for manufacturers to accept returns on made-to-order items. Therefore, it is important for customers to carefully consider their choices before purchasing such items.

To ensure a professional and secure installation of your shutters, please follow these steps:

1. Begin by determining the precise position for the shutter. Align the top and bottom of the shutter with the corresponding parts of the window and mark its placement accordingly.
2. Once you have determined the desired position, mark the shutter itself at the locations where it will be fastened to the installation surface. Use a drill to create marks on the facade at the top, middle, and bottom of the shutter.
3. Carefully remove the shutter and proceed to pre-drill pilot holes through the facade at the marked locations. It is recommended to apply a clear, waterproof, and paintable sealant to each pre-drilled hole to ensure a secure and weather-resistant installation.
4. Fasten the shutter in place using non-corrosive exterior-grade screws. Be cautious not to over-tighten the screws, as this may cause damage or compromise the integrity of the installation.

***IMPORTANT: When installing the shutters on lap siding, it is crucial to adhere them to the highest point of the siding or utilize shims/spacers to fill any gaps and ensure a level installation.

Following these installation instructions will help you achieve a professional and secure mounting of your shutters, enhancing the overall appearance of your windows.

All of our shutters come unpainted and white. They are ready to hang as is but if you would like to paint them, here are some tips.

To ensure a professional finish when painting your shutters, please follow these instructions:

*Avoid painting in direct sunlight or on hot surfaces. This can cause warping*

1. Prior to painting, clean the surface with denatured alcohol to remove any dirt, oil, grease, or other contaminants. The surface should be clean, dry, and free from foreign particles.
2. Avoid painting dark colors in areas exposed to direct sunlight. This will help prevent excessive heat absorption and potential issues with the finish.
3. For best results, use acrylic or urethane-based latex exterior paints. Well-known brands such as Sherwin Williams, Behr, and Gliden are suitable options.
4. Always choose paints with a Light Reflective Value (LRV) of 55 or higher.
5. If you plan to paint in a darker color (LRV of 54 or lower), it is crucial to use Vinyl safe paint or paints specifically designed for such applications. (Please refer to your paint manufacturer)
6. Latex paints may take 2-4 days to dry completely. Avoid exposing the shutters to dew, high humidity, moisture, or rain during this time.
7. For the best finish results, using a sprayer is recommended. However, if a sprayer is not available or feasible, you can apply the paint using a brush or roller directly.

By following these instructions and using high-quality paints, you can achieve a professional and long-lasting finish on your shutters.
