Panel Frames--Many manufacturers use top and bottom rails which are much thinner than the side stiles. Not only does this practice cheapen and degrade the beauty of the shutter, it can compromise the structural integrity of the overall unit. Our stiles and rails are the same 1 1/4" thickness. This consistent framework dimensioning creates a healthy and rich looking panel and allows less light bleed through along the top rail than other shutters Joints--Some shutters have dowels connecting the stiles and rails, and some use biscuits. We capitalize on the strengths of both. Our mortise and tenon joints provide increased glue surface and prevent lateral movement, while #8-3" screws form a permanent clamp and help avoid racking or vertical distortion. Sanding and Finishing--All of our components are sanded in every visible area including ends of louvers and all back surfaces. We then prime and sand all of our parts before assembly--most unique n the shutter industry. This process helps eliminate overspray and shadowing inside the stiles. Our cab-acrylic clear finish is non-yellowing and produces a furniture-grade surface which reduces dust build up and makes cleaning easier. Installation--Woodridge® shutters are not hung on existing window jambs or returns. We include our own attractive, functional framework adaptable to your situation, or we can provide the jambs and/or casing on new construction. Result: Our shutters can be aligned in any window eliminating unsightly tight spots or wide gaps between the panel and window opening. We take great pride in our product, so it only makes sense that we create superior installation designs and procedures. And finally, since our panels are pre-hung in our frames, installation time is quick and clean. |
