In this video I will show you how to install a set of Vinyl shutters on a double glazed
window.
Lift the pre-drilled frame carefully into the recess.
Push some wedges between the sill and frame at the bottom and place some at the top to
stop the frame falling forwards.
Adjust the frame left and right so it's centralised within the recess, then stand back and check
you have an equal looking shadow gap all round the window.
Your then ready to start screwing the frame to the window, I am using a long extension
bit and 60mm screws as there are 3 extensions frames.
I know this window is fairly square so I am fixing all the screws before lifting the shutters
into place. On large windows or out of level windows I suggest levelling the frame, wedging
it in tight and then trying the shutters before fixing any screws. You can then adjust the
frame with the shutters in place.
Once the frame is fitted your ready to install the shutters. Check the adjustable ball catch
is not protruding too far, I suggest winding it in a few turns before you lift the shutters
into place making it easier to line up the panels and check they fit correctly.
Do this top and bottom using a flat head screw driver by pushing the ball catch down and
then turning.
Lift the shutter into place and insert the hinge pins.
Do the same for the remain panels and fit them into place securing with the hinge pins.
Now you can check the shutters open and close smoothly and evenly.
Make any adjustments to the ball catches to help align the panels.
I am winding these in slightly further so they are not so tight to close.
Peal off the stickers from the louvre blades.
Take the cover caps and push them into the 10mm holes to to hide all your fixings, they
just snap into place.
Once complete your frame and shutters should look like this.
You can see the louvres blades just miss the handle.
And there we go, the finished result.
There's a final video you can watch showing the furnished room.
