Southeast provides a wide variety of slat profiles to compliment its roll
up shutter systems.
- DAYLIGHT OPENING MEASURE
-
Is the measurement of the opening size for both WIDTH and HEIGHT.
- TRAPPED MEASURE
- Is the exact size you need your shutter made. There is no space for any overlap of the shutter.
- HOW TO MEASURE
-
- Always stand on the outside of the structure facing the opening
- WIDTH always supply the opening size in inches at the widest point
- Are there any obstructions that can not be moved? Pipes,
Lights, Etc., if yes note the number of inches from the
opening to the obstruction. Mark in the area clearance left or
right on order form. If none mark, AMPLE
- If the shutter is intended to fit inside the opening or between
walls, we refer to this as trapped width. Mark the clearance area
on the order form, left - right “0”
- If the opening is trapped supply the measurement of the
narrowest point rather than widest point.
- HEIGHT always supply the opening height rather than the tallest point.
- Are there any obstructions that can not be moved? Pipes,
Lights, Etc. if yes, note the number of inches from the
opening to the obstruction. Mark in the area clearance top or
bottom on order form. If none, mark AMPLE
- If the shutter is intended to fit between the soffit and a floor
we refer to this situation as FINISHED height. Mark clearance
area on order form top/bottom “0”.
- If the opening is FINISHED height, supply the measurement
of the shortest point rather than the tallest point.
- Installation Overview
-
- Attach shutter sill angle or tube to the wall.
- Slide tracks onto end caps and stand the shutter housing and tracks centering
the back hood assembly directly over the opening to be covered. Secure tracks
with screws make sure that the tracks are straight. Also secure the end caps
and housing to the wall with screws for additional support. If shutter unit
is crank operated from inside, mark and drill ¾” thru hole in the wall before
securing the shutter unit to the wall.
- Insert the universal through the wall into the gear, cut shaft if necessary.
Mount the universal to the interior wall. Outside gear applications do not
need to be drilled through the wall, outside gear attaches to the hood..
- Lift the roll of slats over reel and down into tracks making sure bottom slat
with felt insert goes in first. The slats should now be stacked on top of each
other and have a minimum of 2 slats above the height of the track.
- Slide spring straps or hangers into the top slat and secure them to the reel.
Make sure the spring straps or hangers come from behind the reel over the top.
Equally space the spring straps or hangers along the reel before securing.
If top slat is drilled for direct mount to the reel, spring straps or hangers are
not needed. When attaching slat or hangers to the reel with a motorized unit,
remember that any screws on the motor side must be shorter so that they do not hit
and damage the motor.
- Install hood to front of shutters using stainless steel screws.
