FIXED PANELS<br />
Panels can be fixed in place without hinges using three different methods:<br />
1. Magnets - magnets at all four corners of a panel allow for fixing into place with full operation<br />
of louvres, yet easy removal of a panel to clean or open a window. This is most effective where<br />
there may be tapware that does not allow for a panel to hinge open. Standard deductions<br />
apply.<br />
2. U Channel – the most common choice for fixed panels, top and bottom U channel allows for<br />
panels to be lifted up into the top channel and drop down into the bottom channel, so that<br />
louvres function fully yet the panel can be removed for window access. H section can also<br />
be used with ENCORE Outside to block light gaps between panels with the use of angle at<br />
left and right sides to act as beading. The factory will deduct 4mm from the gross opening<br />
width and 30mm from the gross opening height for OPUS and ENCORE Inside to allow for easy<br />
installation. They will deduct 10mm from total width for ENCORE Outside and supply left and<br />
right side angles.<br />
3. Beading – For OPUS only, light block is used as beading at the front and rear of a panel (all<br />
four sides) and allows full louvre function however the panels are permanently in place and<br />
cannot be removed. This is the most asthetic option for openings between rooms where there<br />
is no glass window that requires access and shutter panels are merely used as a feature.<br />
Standard deductions apply.<br />
