This document provides installation and maintenance instructions for Acadia Living Z Frame Inside Mount 2 Sides Cafe Shutters. These shutters are designed to enhance the function and beauty of a home.
The Acadia Living Z Frame Inside Mount 2 Sides Cafe Shutters are window coverings that offer light control, privacy, and aesthetic appeal. They are designed for inside mounting within a window opening, utilizing a Z-frame structure that provides a finished look. The shutters consist of individual panels with adjustable louvers, allowing users to control the amount of light entering a room and maintain privacy. The installation process involves assembling the frame, attaching the shutter panels, securing a light block, and installing decorative plugs. The shutters feature a built-in tension system for adjusting louver resistance over time.
The installation process requires several tools, including a measuring tape, drill, pencil, level, screwdriver, and box knife. The frame components are labeled "left" and "right" for easy assembly. Hinge pins are used to secure the shutter panels to the frame. The light block is secured with specific light block screws. The system includes hinge screws for L brackets (30mm) and, if applicable, hinge screws for 1" T-posts with panel folds. L brackets (30mm) are also provided for T-posts without top/bottom frames. Hinge spacers are included to adjust spacing between panels and frames. Plugs are used to cover pre-drilled holes in the frame for a finished appearance. The dimensions of some components are specified: hinge pins are 63.5mm [2 1/2"] long, and the screws for L brackets are 38mm [1 1/2"] long. The L bracket itself is 18.5mm [3/4"] wide, and the plug is 11mm [7/16"] in diameter.
The shutters are designed for easy operation. Panels can be opened and closed to access the window. The louvers within each panel can be adjusted to control light and privacy. The built-in tension system allows users to adjust the resistance of the louvers, ensuring they remain in the desired position over time. This adjustment is made by gently turning a screw on the side of each panel with a screwdriver. The installation instructions emphasize installing one shutter at a time and not mixing panels or frames from different windows to ensure proper fit and function. The installation process is broken down into four steps: assembling the frame, attaching the panels, securing the light block, and installing the plugs. An installation video is available via a QR code for visual guidance. The frame pieces are designed to be secured temporarily with screws and shims to ensure they are straight and plumb before final fastening. For multiple panels, the instructions detail how to hinge them on both frames, ensuring proper center spacing and alignment.
Maintaining the shutters is straightforward and designed to preserve their appearance and functionality. Regular cleaning can be performed using a clean dry cloth, feather duster, or a vacuum with a brush attachment to remove dust and debris. For thorough cleaning, it is recommended to wipe the louvers in both open and closed positions. It is crucial not to immerse the product in water or use harsh chemicals, as this can cause discoloration and warping of the wood. Ultrasonic cleaning is not recommended. For composite shutters, a cotton cloth dampened with water is recommended, as polyester cloths can create static that attracts dust. The built-in tension system allows for easy adjustment if the louvers become loose over time, extending the lifespan and usability of the shutters. The product comes with a lifetime limited warranty, covering defects in materials or workmanship for the original retail purchaser, provided the shutters were properly installed in a residential dwelling and made from original materials and components. This warranty is voided by resale or transfer of the product.
