SECURITY MATTERS, BUT DON’T COMPROMISE ON STYLE.


There are many effective security barriers (wooden shutters, indoor shutters, external shutters, bathroom shutters, white shutters, bedroom shutters, patio shutters, bi-fold shutters etc) on the market, but only a few that look as good as they work. Opposed to rugged burglar bars and security gates, AMERICAN shutters’ aluminium Security Shutters have a sophisticated and refined style.


Strength and security are the hallmarks of our built-to-last security shutters. Suitable for both doors and windows, these custom-made aluminium louvred shutters are built for security and boast some impressive patented built-in strengthening and safety features.


The attention to detail is stand-alone in the market; from the tamper-proof anti-corrosion aluminium hinges to the top and bottom locking rod and strip-proof Italian locks.


Hidden in the aluminium framework, the ‘Gear Tilt’ system is unique to AMERICAN shutters. This system nullifies the need for unsightly tilt rods allowing unobstructed views between the louvres.


The new system has undergone stringent tests and the results prove consistent, efficient, smooth and problem-free operation. Tests simulated daily opening and closing of the louvres over a ten-year period.


Locally manufactured from architectural grade aluminium, the shutters are suitable for interior as well as exterior use, perfect for South African conditions.

South African model, entrepreneur and businesswoman, Jo-Ann Strauss chose AMERICAN shutters to custom manufacture and install Security Shutters in her new Cape Town home. Jo-Ann met with Shaheeda Mohammed, AMERICAN shutters’ product expert in the newly-renovated Cape Town showroom to discuss the decision making, designing and installation process of her order. Their conversation includes some details on how AMERICAN shutters customised Jo-Ann’s installation to the unique features of her home.

SHUTTER TERMINOLOGY

BI-FOLD

Section Heading

 

Concertina-type shutter configuration where shutters are folded and stacked.

BY-PASS

Section Heading

 

Configuration with sliding shutter panels

HINGED

Section Heading

 

Shutter configuration that has panels hinged to a frame

INSIDE REVEAL

Section Heading

 

The depth measured from in front of a window or door to the flat surface of the inside wall.

LOUVRE

Section Heading

 

The horizontal slats of a shutter that can be tilted up and down to allow varying degrees of light and ventilation into a space. Louvres come in various sizes. Often also called slats or blades.

LOUVRE BANKS

Section Heading

 

A set of louvres in a shutter panel. A shutter panel can be separated into two louvre banks by a fixed divider rail or by splitting a gear system. When separated, louvre banks are referred to as Split Louvre Banks and can operate independently of one another. This offers a high degree of versatility i.e. allowing the top louvre bank to be opened to allow in light while keeping the bottom louvre bank closed to ensure privacy.

OPENING

Section Heading

 

This is the term used to refer to the window or door which is to have shutters installed.

RAIL

Section Heading

 

The top and bottom horizontal section connecting the left and right shutter stiles of the shutter panel. For optimum structural integrity, AMERICAN shutters’® wooden ranges use mortise-tenon joint to connect the rails to the stiles.

RING PULL / PULL HANDLE

Section Heading

 

Used to manoeuvre or assist in the operation of a shutter panel. AMERICAN shutters® make them available on all shutter ranges, but they are most commonly used on bi-fold (concertina) shutters to assist with the stacking process.

STILE

Section Heading

 

Stiles are the upright side sections of a shutter panel, they are connected with top and bottom rails, and in certain cases, mid rails. A rabbet stile overlaps the adjacent stile to reduce light penetration between the shutter panels.

SHUTTER FRAME

Section Heading

 

Similar to a door frame, a shutter frame is used to create an outer structure for the shutter panels. This gives the installation a neat finish, and is most typically used in hinged applications. AMERICAN shutters® has a number of different frames to suit a variety of practical and aesthetic requirements.

SHUTTER PANEL

Section Heading

 

The combination of the following components; top and bottom rails, louvres and stiles. An installation can have a number of shutter panels in one opening.

TILT ROD

Section Heading

 

A rod connecting the louvres to each other, enabling the simultaneous tilting of all louvres in a louvre bank. A tilt rod can be positioned in the centre of the louvres or offset to one side.

A central tilt rod gives shutters a more traditional look, and is an option on the following AMERICAN shutters’® ranges:

Decowood Shutters

Normandy Shutters

White Teak Shutters

Woodbury Waterproof Shutters

SECRET TILT ROD/GEAR TILT

Section Heading

 

A geared tilting mechanism that is concealed inside the shutter panel, thereby nullifying the need for a visible tilt rod. The secret or hidden tilt system gives shutters a more contemporary look, and is an option on all AMERICAN shutters’® ranges

TRACK

Section Heading

 

Certain shutter configurations (bi-fold and by-pass) require that shutter panels are hung from a top track using wheels. A bottom track or floor channel guides the shutter panels.
