There are some shutter solutions that are exclusively made for huge windows, especially the 'vista-type'. They are mostly 'multi-paneled' for covering larger areas which is why they are also termed as 'bi-fold'. These solutions are characterized by folds. If you can imagine an 'organ grinder', you will know that the functioning of these solutions is based on similar concept. The durability of these solutions affects their functioning quality. Wood would work best for you. This particular style will help you to retain the actual shape due to the thickening in the 'stiles' which assist in folding of the panel instead of warping the solution.
Standard Installation:For those windows that are wider than three feet, this solution is the preferable choice. If the window is too long, you can always hinge two of the panels giving a total of four panels on the entire window pane stretch. They normally tend to fold in to the window's right side. This is why you will have to keep the right side clear for easy installation and proper functioning of these solutions.
Flipping Options:There are many accordion shutters which do not flatly complete the folding but you will have to create space accordingly. This type of solution will definitely not fit into windows that are situated in a room's corner. When such issues arise, you can visit the nearest 'home improvement' store to look for those solutions that have the same effect (looks wise) even after being flipped.
There are some varieties which can be customized such as hinging them from the middle and offer the option of folding both the right and left way. However, they cannot bet termed as authentic solutions despite their use by most of the public. It is wise to let the store owner know exactly what you are looking for. You can start by citing the panel requirement and their opening system.
Tier System:These solutions are available in 'one', 'two' and 'three' tier varieties. The panel requisition depends on the window's height. To help it stay 'plumb', a 'rail board/bar' is tied around the tiers among the 'slats' for proper framing. Normally, a 'rail bar' is made two times thicker than the standard 'louver'. This means that for a 1 inch louver's thickness, you have 1.5-2.0 inches thickness for t he rail bar. This has to be kept on mind while the height is being measured.
Therefore, whether you are worried about the stormy weather or the fear of theft is worrying you, these shutter solutions are the best way to stay relaxed and tension-free .They are designed to brave the weather torments and keep your house safe from infiltration of any kind.
Conclusion:Finally, to get a combination of enormous windows and privacy, these solutions will work just fine. For one thing, they do improve the look of the home and give it an elite air. It is best to install these solutions as soon as you can for a more secured lining for you and your family!
