Smooth Curved Panels With No Stair-Stepping

The smooth contours of an O'Hair Pattern Horizontal™ are available in a wide variety of configurations in both curved and angled designs. They are also available in single span "eyebrow" designs and in multi-panel arrangements (above, left).

As seen in the rear view (above, right), the louvers in the curved section operate within scalloped recesses, which avoids the star-stepping that is found in competing designs. Unlike shutters of lesser quality, all of the louvers in a Pattern Horizontal™shutter are linked by a synchronized tilt system, including those at the top of the panel.

Inner Beauty, Inner Strength

One of the weakest points of a typical shutter is the connection between the louver and the tilt rod. O'Hair shutters use louvers constructed from solid  bookmatched hardwood, which provides plenty of holding power for our premium #304 stainless steel staples. This is not the case with many faux wood louvers, which are often formed from moulded plastic with a core made of foam.

Even so, the weakest point with most louvers is not the louver itself but the tilt rod. The simple fact is that a normal tilt rod simply doesn't have the thickness needed for a staple to get a solid grip. This is not an issue with O'Hair shutters. This is because, rather than using a staple in the tilt rod, we use a solid metal strip that is permanently embedded within a slot in the tilt rod. During assembly the continuous tilt linkage is threaded through the louvers and then bonded to the tilt rod, forming a solid reinforced unit.

At O'Hair we do not see a shutter as a commodity product but as an investment for a homeowner. It is because of this that we construct our shutters, quite literally, to last for generations. This is how we can provide a transferable limited lifetime warranty - a warranty that is good for the life of the home, not just the homeowner.
