    Because shutters do make a room darker (even white ones that are open), I want window shutters that slide completely away from the window into a frame attached to the wall each side of the window. The shutters would then be hidden behind floor to ceiling drapes during the day, because we have a view and want to see the ocean. It seems to be an impossible concept for every company I've contacted to even consider such a thing (unless the sliding shutters would be from floor to ceiling, which we don't want). Why is it so hard? I see buildings with exterior shutters like this, that slide away from the window and across the outside wall. So why can't "custom made" shutters be fitted like this into an interior application? Is it like the ironing board that has wobbled its way through the years since 1892 and even the best ones still wobble! I'll buy one of those too, if someone will make one...

    • @opennshut
      @opennshut 2 года назад

      Hi Joseph, if you have a deep enough recess, you can fit a separate blind behind your shutters, you will get some light bleed, but it will be a cheaper option. Check handle protrusion so the blind does not catch. You will get a tighter fitting blind and less light bleed with a pre-fitted blackout shutter option. Most built-in options use pleated blinds, there is a lower-cost roller blind option about to become available. Regards Sam.

      You can order a custom angled corner post like this www.opennshut.co.uk/info-hub/bay-posts/ and order one frame, or you can order two frames and butt them together, they can be screwed at the point they touch to stop the light coming through. With the bay post option you can still use the easyfix system, you would normally only need the D1 fixings at the top and bottom of the bay, not at the sides.

      @opennshut 3 года назад

      Not sure I can help with that one! Shutters are normally sprayed as the paint is much thinner, if you have painted it could have run into the pivot holes or gaps. If the louvres are open, I would suggest laying the panel flat on the floor on something soft and try and move all the louvers together to try and free them, or carefully one at a time giving them a wiggle to crack any paint. Check visually to see if you can see a built up of paint anywhere.
