HINGED PANELS<br />
Panel widths must be ordered within specifications. Requests to waive warranty in an effort to<br />
order oversized panel widths will be rejected. Please note on OPUS polymer, panels greater than<br />
500mm in width may require an assist and lift action when closing the hinged panel into its frame<br />
or recess. This is a normal function of the product due to the flexible nature of the extrusion. It is<br />
important to also pay attention to heights less than 300mm where frame and deductions may<br />
result in as little as 1 x louvre per panel. Outside mount is recommended in these situations to<br />
increase height and number of louvres.<br />
Panels can be hinged into shutter frame or the actual window recess using non-mortise hinges.<br />
In some cases panels can be mounted with magnets rather than hinges.<br />
No more than two panels can be hinged together as a bifold hinge layout and single panels in<br />
this configuration must not exceed specification. OPUS Bifold hinged panels use rabbet stiles<br />
whilst ENCORE use square or butt stiles.<br />
