• NEVER use a silicone-based product, abrasives or harsh cleaning products for cleaning your shutters Repair any damaged surfaces to prevent premature deterioration.
• Ensure that hinged panels are properly fitted to catches or supports/frames at all times.
• Bi-Fold Panels – When opening please remember to close the blades to prevent damage and pull the panels toward the stack end allowing them to bunch together, DO NOT push shutters open.
