Twin Windows |
Twin windows that are framed within a few inches of each other and that are covered by 4 panels can be configured with either open center panels or as double bi-fold. Both options look very similar when panels are closed. |
Open Center In the open center configuration, the 2 panels in the center are hinged to a vertical t-post in the center of the frame. Pro: Most common and strongest means of mounting shutter panels to the shutter’s frame Con: 2 center panels cannot be swung open flat against the wall at the same time. |
Double Bi-fold Shutters that are double bi-folded are built with 4 panels, with the 2 center panels hinged to the left and right-most panels. Pro: Allows panels to be folded back against the wall for an unobstructed view through the twin windows. Con: Panels may sag slightly (approximately 1/8″ to ¼”) when swung out of the frame and will have to be lifted back into place. This is because the panels are hinged to one another, rather than a t-post. |
Triple Windows | Shutters mounted in 3 or more side by side windows can be covered with a single frame partitioned into one section per window with a vertical t-post. | |
Triple Window – 1 panel per window | Triple Window – 2 panels per window |
