A WORLD FIRST- Patented front loading
geared actuating system designed to open and close Heavy
Duty Plantation Shutters and Louvers effortlessly and
reliably.
Traditional shutters have a very basic vertical linking
stick, side bracket or connecting rod mounted via staples
or eyelets tacked into the leading edge of the shutter
blade. This is an unreliable and a frail method of construction,
the rod detracts from the view and defeats the purpose
of its intended design requirements.
The Shutter Motion shutter range offer full unobstructed
views and sturdy construction.
Our unique design incorporates a high impact nylon rack
and pinion neatly built in to the frame controlling each
blade by positive direct drive and providing for responsive
positioning at any angle
THE PRODUCT
The Louver Mover® is a modulated carrier for shutter
blades and glass louvers set within a frame. The operation
of the shutters is by means of a patented ABS module containing
the blade end cap which is snap sealed within the cassette.
These cassette modules are constructed in various lengths
known as galleries. A Gallery can be 4, 6 or 8 blade configuration
supplied as left and right handed sets.
