Hardware or No Hardware: How to Mount Your Custom Wood Shutters


If you got it, flaunt it.

In my mind, a quick way to judge a residential contractor by the lids are placed on the house. If the only nail-gun cheap vinyl blinds on the windows, then they are cutting corners at your expense. They are passing off cheap job as a quality job. Vinyl does not last, and what do you think that you save in dollars you will lose in pride as they dry, cheap blinds, rest, and then fly off to the house during the windstorm. I've seen it happen too often. I Cheap Cheap looks , no matter how you dress.

When you decide on a quality custom wooden shutter, you know you have something that will last. But now when I got to show it off?

Functional Hardware for exterior wood shutters.

Shutter intended to cover the window, and not just stand idly. With the right hardware, you can have a functional set of shutters that can truly be swung closed and sealed to protect your windows from wind and weather. In addition, the shutter should be held in place, and opened and closed, with hardware designed to do the job. And there are many styles available!

Now, if this seems complicated, let me break down matter what the hardware is working. First, you need something to attach the shutter to keep it. This is fitting, and they do just that. They have a lid and allow it to move. Hinges are simple in principle, and they come in many, many stilova.Najjednostavnije the strap hinges. It is just that, a metal strap that attaches securely to your shutter and one at the top, one on the bottom. Once you have something to keep your shutter, you need something to mount the whole thing on the wall, and this is the second part, Pintel.Pintel attaches to the wall, either with screws or screw in a spike which is called Lag. Pintel on the pin, a sturdy metal mounting pin, you put the lid on the kindness of your wrist. Both of these allow your shutter to stay where you want it on the wall, and move around as they wish. Of course, there are many styles and designs to choose from.

The third part of this set is something to keep the trigger, whether open or closed now that you have it where you want it. It acts as a doorstop for your shutter. As I said, it keeps the shutter open or keep closed. These are called Shutter-room, tie-backs, or shutter dogs. All these are the same basic job keeps her blinds in the open position. They do this by going instead to stop the lid from your mobile, or fixed to the shutter by means of hooks or clamps and keep it that way. No matter what you choose, they do a simple job. They hold the shutter open. They can be decorative, or almost invisible. You decide!

If you want to keep your shutter is closed, then a sliding Bolt the job nicely. After the blinds closed, Bolt slides into place and holds them together, simple as that. One Bolt will hold two blinds closed. There are other options, such as metal hooks that attach to the matching pegs and loops on the eyelids. Whatever you decide, the hardware is simple and reliable.

and your end result will be functional, practical and elegant custom wooden blinds!

Fake it.

Now, if you do not want to bother with all that, I understand. You can have a look, but do not worry about the details. What you can do is get enough functional hardware, let's just clip and Pintel, and nail or glue or mount the cover in place after it was exactly where you want it. Or, you can get special hardware that is not actually a function, a false joint and Pintel, and use that instead. Either way is fine, but the end result will be one that has the look you want without much hassle.

Both options are good, and it will let you get the most out of your custom wood shutters. And lets face it, everything is better than cheap vinyl nailed to the wall.
