Certification A4-5

Shutters have had a long history of protecting windows on the outside, but they were originally designed for the inside of a home.

On Tudor (1485–1547) and Elizabethan

(1558–1603) homes, shutters were made of solid

boards and covered only the lower half of the

window openings, where no glass was installed

(glass was expensive in those days.) When open,

fresh air came into the room and the shutters folded

back to look like decorative wall panels. When

closed, usually with a bar across, light still came

through the glazed upper half of the window. By

the late seventeenth century, double-hung windows

were popular. Shutters were still attached inside and

decorative, but they covered the whole window.

During the Victorian period (1837–1901) when

more houses were constructed from wood, shutters

moved outdoors. The former stone and brick homes

had such deeply recessed windows that exterior

shutters would have been difficult to reach from

inside, but wooden walls could be built much

thinner and exterior shutters could now be accessed

easily from the inside.

By the late nineteenth century, shutters were

used as much for decoration as for their practical

functions of shelter and protection for the glass.

When mechanization entered Victorian millworks,

shutters became more sophisticated. They were

often louvered or made of narrow horizontal slats

angled to deflect the rain, allow some daylight

through and provide adequate ventilation.

The History of Shutters

In the 1980s, window technology and window

covering choices eliminated the functional use of

outside shutters. However, the revival of Victorian-style

housing and the interest in rehabilitating century-old

homes are bringing shutters back into the limelight

as an interior window treatment. They are often

made from wood, with all its inherent problems of

chipping, warping, shrinking and peeling.

Eclipse

They offer the traditional look of California or

Plantation style shutters without the inherent problems

of wood. Warping, shrinking, chipping, peeling,

and color fading are things of the past with

Eclipse

and door fitting. They are shipped complete with all

frames and hardware ready for mounting. They are

available in three colors: Cotton, Pearl and Vanilla.

Features & Benefits

Elliptical Louver Sizes

2 1/2”, 3 1/2”, and 4 1/2”

Patented Tilt Bar Connecting Method

Provides the time honored look associated with shutters. Louvers can be opened or closed in both directions, unlike other shutters which are one-directional only. This method has eliminated unsightly gears or staples which tend to rust or break.

Patented UltraClearview™

A hidden tilt system located on the rear of each panel. UltraClearview is attached to the hinge side of the louvers, resulting in a clean, contemporary look.

Patented Seamless Louver Caps

Innovative seamless capping technology eliminates the seam between the louver body and the end cap, for a sleek and modern look.

Panel Lock with Roller

This unique system eliminates the use of magnets. When panels are closed, a spring-loaded plunger acts as a ball catch to hold the panels in the closed position.

Aluminum Jamb Inserts

Provides a hidden reinforcement for patio door shutters and larger shutter panels.

French Door Cutouts

Our French Door Cutout is ideal for adding shutters to French doors. The Cutout is designed to work with standard round door handles and lever handles. Available with all louver sizes.

Pre-drilled Frames

Pre-drilled installation holes are strategically placed on all frames for accurate, quick, and clean installation.

Factory Installed Two Part Hinge System

Quick and easy to install. Allows panels to be removed easily for cleaning. Panels open fully for total access to the windows.

Light Block and Interlock

®

Exclusive to Eclipse

Shutters, they provide an insulating seal and cover unwanted light gaps between panels.

Frame Grooves

The spring loaded roller of the panel lock locates the integrated groove in all frames. Eliminates the need for magnets and catch plates.

Exclusive Deluxe Divider Rail

The unique design of this rail integrates a handle which provides a clean and easy method of opening shutters. Offered as an option to the existing regular divider rail, the deluxe divider rail is the ultimate in functionality, design, and elegance.

Snap and Hold Corner Key and Notched Frames

Our snap and hold corner key and notched frames were developed to eliminate the use of glue and provide a clean, quick and easy installation. All frames, excluding L-Frame outside mount, with a 45-degree miter are notched to accept this corner key.

Adjustable Jamb Cap

If adjustments are required, the screw located on the bottom of each panel can be threaded in or out of the cap accordingly. Thread into the panel until the screw is virtually invisible when adjustments are not needed. (Available only with magnet applications)

Permanent UltraSatin™ Finish

®

Our Polyresin 3

compound features a permanent finish resistant to dents and scratches. Should a scratch occur, it can be removed without harming the finish.

Warranty

®

Eclipse Warranty. Note: Eclipse

Shutters are backed with a 25-Year

fabricators reserve the right to refuse manufacture of out-of-spec or void warranty product.

About GREENGUARD

Gold (for Children & Schools Certification)

A product certification program for low-emitting interior building materials, furnishings, and finish systems used in educational, office and other sensitive environments. All GREENGUARD Gold products have been tested for their chemical emissions performance according to CA 01350 and can be found in the GREENGUARD Online Product Guide.

GREENGUARD Gold program’s minimum requirements comply with the State of California’s Department of Health Services Standard Practice (CA Section 01350) for testing chemical emissions from building products used in schools, offices and other sensitive environments. As such, GREENGUARD Gold products can be used as a strategy to earn valuable credits in the CHPS Best Practices Manual for K-12 schools, U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED



Green Building Rating System, Green Guide for Healthcare, NAHB Green Building Guidelines, Green Globes, Regreen and numerous other local green building codes.

Children are more heavily exposed to environmental toxins than adults; as a result their exposure levels are the basis for sensitive environments. They consume more food, water, and have higher inhalation rates per pound of body weight than adults. To account for inhalation exposure to young children with greater sensitivities, a body burden correction factor of 0.43 has been applied to current allowable emission levels from indoor materials and furnishings.

Emission controls are established to define low-emitting materials for environments where people spend extended periods of time and have children and sensitive adults in residence. These may include schools, daycares, healthcare facilities and residential and commercial spaces.

Café Style

®

A Café style shutter is a shutter configuration in which the panel or panels do not completely cover the entire height of the window opening. The frame may be ordered to the same height as the panel (in 2 or 3 sided frame configurations) or the frame may be ordered at a different height than the panel (4 sided configurations). In a 4 sided Café Style configuration, please note the ordered height and width on the Regular Order Form. Under the remarks section of the order form, note the height of the panel.

If ordering a 3-sided inverted frame in which the panel and frame are the same height, then order as an “IF”. (Example: P2IF, page B5)

Helpful Hints

• Follow the general rules below when choosing a shutter style.

• Record all details on an Eclipse® Order Form to ensure accurate record.

• Use a steel measuring tape to take measurements.

Options

Before measuring, discuss the various options available with your customer.

• louver size

• frames vs no frames

• color

• type of installation

• color of hinges

• inside or outside mount

• frame options

• divider rails

• tilt bar vs. UltraClearview

• shutter configuration

- standard

- double hung

- café

• swing radius

Note: Shutters are room darkening but not black-out.

Obstructions

When measuring, account for obstructions such as protruding window cranks and window sills. Protruding cranks may be replaced with T-handles, or can be accommodated with projection mounts or outside mount (refer to Section CClearance Charts). Shutters may be installed on top of sills using either three or four sided frames, or using four sided L-Frames with added extensions. Use your sample panels and frames from your shop at home bag to ensure clearances.

Depth clearances

This is the depth of window jamb required for trouble free louver operation. Measure the clearance required for desired application (refer to Section C- Clearance Charts). Use your sample panels and frames from your shop at home bag to ensure proper depth.

Single panels

The minimum single panel width is 6” and the maximum single panel width is 36”.

Note: Warranty is void on oversized panels.

Bi-fold panels (shown as LL [Left Bi-fold]

or RR [Right Bi-fold])

A maximum of two panels may be hinged together. The combined widths may not exceed 48”.

T Post

The 1 1/4” T Post has been designed to accept aluminum reinforcement. Aluminum reinforcement is available upon request.

2. Measure total width and height. O.M.=Outside frame to outside frame I.M.=Opening size

3. Record number of panels and hinge style (i.e., P4-LLRR).

4. Measure from the left side:

A. From the left edge of the frame to the right edge of the first panel for an outside mount or from the left inside opening to the right edge of the first panel for an inside mount.

B. For any middle panels measure from the left edge to the right edge of each panel.

C. For the right panel, measure from the left edge of the last panel to the right edge of the frame for an outside mount, or to the right inside opening for inside mount.

D2

Importance of Height Consistency

• Shutter height is made up of a unique combination of:

1) a top rail

2) a bottom rail

3) a number of evenly spaced louvers

4) a divider rail if over 60” tall (50” if bifold)

• The divider rail widths are constant. The distance between louvers is constant. Only a specific number of top and bottom rail

combinations are possible.

• To achieve a uniform appearance, with same top, bottom and

divider rail placement, as well as maintain an equal number of louvers in adjacent shutters, all shutters must be ordered the same height.

If the height measurements differ, apply one of the three options below:

1 For inside mount without

frame or L-Frame, reduce taller height measurement by 1/8” max.;

order shutters same height.

For inside mount with Z-Frame,

2

Trim Frame, or Deluxe Trim Frame, reduce 1/2” max. from tallest height measurement; order shutters

same height.

3 For height adjustments of more

than 1/2”, go to an outside mount; order shutters same height.

when required (see D4). Eclipse® reserves the right to refuse to manufacture out-of-spec, or void warranty product.

Locating Divider Rails

Divider rail is required if shutter panel height is over 60” (50” if bifold). A second divider rail is required if panel height is over 90”. Distance between rails must be less than 50”. Although added strength is the main feature of a divider rail, it also allows bottom louvers to be fully closed for privacy and top louvers open for light.

Top Operating Louvers

Divider Rail

OUTSIDE MOUNT

“Distance-up” is the distance from the bottom frame to the center of where you would like the divider rail located.

Note: Center line location of divider rails may vary up or down by a maximum of 1” for 2 1/2” louver, by

Bottom Operating Louvers

INSIDE MOUNT

“Distance-up” is the distance from the top of the sill to the center of where you would like the divider rail located.

1 1/2” for 3 1/2” louver, and 2” for 4 1/2” louver. For adjacent openings to have same divider location the height must be same.

Matching Divider Rail Locations

When divider rails are desired at a similar height from the floor, from window to window, or from room to room, measure height of center of divider rail from the floor up to the same point on the second window, then measure down to the bottom of the shutter. This measurement down is the “distance-up.” If you require a specific divider rail location, please specify in the remarks section on the order form. If it is not possible, we will contact you with the options.

Divider Rail Widths

• 2 1/2” and 4 1/2” louvers have a divider rail width of 3 3/4”

• 3 1/2” louvers have a divider rail width of 2 5/8”

* Void Warranty authorization is required if panels are ordered over the maximum widths, heights, square footage or divider rails not used when required (see D4). Eclipse® reserves the right to refuse to manufacture out-of-spec, or void warranty product.

D4

Double Hung Shutters

Double hung shutters are panels stacked vertically within a single framed shutter unit.

• Double hungs with no horizontal T-post include a 1/8” gap between panels

• An optional 1 1/4” horizontal T-post is available for added strength. (specify in the given space at the bottom right of the order form)

• Location of split between panels or the center of the horizontal T-post is required as is measured from bottom of opening.

• Minimum panel height is 16” for both panels, which means the minimum split height is also 16”.

1. CHOICE OF FRAME & LOUVER

• The appropriate frame will be affected by the mount type, depth clearance, existing trim, etc.

• Use samples panels, frames and color samples from the shop at home bag.

• Make sure that the chosen frame and louver size will function properly once installed into the opening.

• Ensure the chosen application will overcome any possible obstructions such as latches, cranks or windows that open into the room.

• Number of frame sides is based on the configuration and type of shutter. Four sided frames are recommended for most standard shutters.

• Frame Extensions are not available for inside mount applications.

2. INSIDE MOUNT vs. OUTSIDE MOUNT

• Check for squareness by measuring the diagonal and/or use a sample panel and place at each corner.

• If the diagonal measurements are not identical, a framed application is recommended for inside mounts. An unframed application will result in uneven light gaps.

• If the diagonal measurements are out more than 3/8”, then an outside mount is recommended.

• If the proper clearance is not available, an outside mount may be necessary for larger louvers and/or the Clearview joiners.

3. MEASURE INSIDE WIDTH

• Measure the width in three places (top, middle & bottom) and record the smallest measurement to 1/8”.

• For windows with vertical mullions, match the panel widths to each section of the window with or without T Posts. (See Page D2 for measuring instructions)

4. MEASURE INSIDE HEIGHT

• Measure the height in three places (left, middle & right) and record the smallest measurement to 1/8”.
