3 THE GRABER WOOD STORY QUALITY OF WOOD DEFINES A SHUTTER S QUALITY We use only 100% North American hardwood in the construction of our wood shutters because of its light weight, consistent color, hardness, structural stability, and attractive grain. SOUND FORESTRY TECHNIQUES We work only with foresters who practice sustained yield forest management nearly twice as much hardwood grows as is harvested in the U.S. each year. The volume of hardwoods in American forests today is 90% larger than it was 50 years ago. PRESERVING OUR NATURAL RESOURCES Springs Wood Products consume recycled sawdust and wood shavings, generating the heat required to dry lumber, for a completely self-sufficient manufacturing process. Our Reynosa, Mexico, fabrication and finishing facility is 99.7% pollution free, above any U.S. standard. SPRINGS WOOD PRODUCTS, GRAYLING, MICHIGAN We have control over the quality of wood used we control the process from green lumber to finished shutters. Hardwoods used in crafting Graber wood shutters are kiln dried and moulded at our Springs Wood Products facility in Grayling, Michigan. The wood is dried slowly to strict wood shutter specifications, because structural change can occur when moisture is removed. Moulding and sanding operations provide the highest quality surface, free of defects. SPRINGS FABRICATION AND FINISHING, REYNOSA, MEXICO At our state-of-the art finishing plant in Reynosa, Mexico, components are carefully sorted prior to fabrication for color uniformity and wood characteristics. We sort wood as an end user, rather than a finishing vendor, taking out defects in a climate-controlled building. Each shutter is hand-made by craftsmen to your client s custom needs. To finish the shutter, we use only high quality paints and stains; on-site certified color technicians provide both application and quality control. WHAT MAKES GRABER TRADITIONS SHUTTERS DIFFERENT FROM THE REST? Wood shutters are made from 100% North American Hardwoods the premier wood used in the construction of shutters Springs Wood Products and Finishing facilities provide state-of-the-art technologies and processes Expanded choice of finishes with PureGrain Finish vibrant stains that showcase the natural grain of the wood Offer the only national Custom Color Match program in the industry color choices that no one has ever seen in custom wood shutters before An outstanding selection of styles, louvers (including 4½" size), frames and arches The best Customer Service team in the industry-trained to answer any questions about Graber Traditions Shutters Limited Lifetime Warranty 3 GRABER

4 GRABER WOOD CHARACTERISTICS GRABER WOOD CHARACTERISTICS Wood used to manufacture Graber wood shutters has many natural characteristics which make it truly unique no two pieces of hardwood are alike. The following are all natural characteristics of wood and we do not consider them to be defects: Grain The direction, size, and appearance of wood fibers vary greatly depending on where the wood is cut from within the tree Burl Formed from an irregular growth on the outer edge of the tree Bird s Eye Small area on the surface of the board where fibers are contorted to form circular figures that resemble birds eyes Knots Vary in size, shape, structure and color Mineral Marks Dark or discolored area caused by minerals which the tree extracts from the soil; can be either a streak or a stain, usually blackish blue Natural variations in color and grain effect are inherent in the beauty of wood. These variations are within established industry guidelines and should be expected. In addition, shutters may stain slightly darker or lighter than the samples shown. Flat Grain Grain Change Mineral Marks Tiger Striping Burl/Bird s Eye Knots GRABER 4

5 GENERAL PRODUCT INFORMATION Use this information to educate your client on the process of having Graber Traditions Shutters custom made for their home. MOUNTING Window Molding: Shutter frames can be installed around, on top of, or in place of existing window molding. Mounting around molding The frame height needs to project enough to allow for louver operation (see page 11) Mounting on molding The molding needs to be flat enough (installation onto wood molding only) so the frame will sit plumb and level, and wide enough to allow a screw to be driven through it without splitting the wood Mounting in place of existing molding The shutter frame selected must be wide enough to cover the same areas as the molding that is removed Windowsills: An existing windowsill may offer a decorative element to a room. Shutters can be customized to work with the windowsill. Outside mounts L-frame may be ordered 4-sided or 4-sided inverted with a sill frame installed on the windowsill Inside mounts Hang strip, direct mount, and Z-frame are available PRODUCT ELEMENTS Divider Rails: Divider rails are used to provide additional support and light control. Can be ordered as an option to create a double hung look or for decorative effect. Shutter panels over 72" tall (45" for 1¼" louver) or 30" wide will have a divider rail installed at the center of the panel (2 1 2" or 3 1 2" louver +/ "; 4 1 2" louver +/- 2") unless specified on the order form. Panels over 30" wide and 78" high require two divider rails. Divider rails may be ordered on panels less than 72". Divider rails require at least two louvers in each section. Maximum number of divider rails is two. 1¼" and 2½" louvers will have 2" wide divider rails. 3½" and 4½" louvers will have 3" wide divider rails. Rabbet Stile: Used when two stiles meet, this feature creates a built in light block. Tilt Bar: The factory will position the tilt bar in the center of each panel. Hide-A-Tilt Hidden Tilt Bar: Tilt mechanism in the back of the shutter panel rather than the front. Color Disclaimer: Due to the natural characteristics of wood, colors may vary slightly. To ensure proper color matches, shutters being mounted in the same room should be ordered at one time. Slight variations in color may also occur between the finished product and the color samples/literature. T-Post Frame Stile Louver Top Rail* Mouse Hole Single Panel Divider Rail Bi-Fold Bottom Rail* Tilt Bar * Top and Bottom Rail heights will vary. See page 25 for definitions. 5 GRABER

6 SHUTTER TYPES Standard Panel: A rectangular shaped panel that can be installed using any frame style. Bi-Fold Track System: Two or four panels are hinged together with a top and bottom track. Bi-Fold: Two panels are hinged together that fold together to lay flush. Bypass Track System: Shutter panels slide on a top track to open and close. The track system can be attached to a frame or mounted directly to a window casing or the ceiling. The most common approach is a 3-sided box out (see page 20) with floor guides. Louvers must be closed to slide on track. GRABER 6

9 SHUTTER LOUVERS LOUVER OPTIONS 1¼" Louver Traditional in style. Required clearance 1 8". 2½" Louver The most traditional and widely used louver size; minimal window depth needed; shutters become the focal point of the room. Required clearance 3 4". 3½" Louver Offers more visibility and light control than a smaller louver; allows design flexibility when working with space around shutter. Required clearance 1¼". 4½" Louver Provides the greatest amount of visibility through the open louvers; looks most proportionate in a larger window; view beyond the window becomes more important louvers almost disappear when open. Required clearance 1 3 4". LOUVER COMPARISON 1 1 4" Louver 2 1 2" Louver 3 1 2" Louver 4 1 2" Louver 9 GRABER

10 HIDDEN TILT Hide-A-Tilt Hidden Tilt Option offers the tilt mechanism in the back of the shutter panel, eliminating the traditional tilt bar and creating an unobstructed view as well as a clean lineal appearance. A thin stainless steel tilt bar is attached to the louvers in the rear of the panel. Operation of the shutter is as simple as positioning one louver into position; all of the other louvers will follow. Available on standard shutters, French doors, Bi-Fold or Bypass with 2½" and 3½" louvers. To measure for a Hide-A-Tilt use the traditional measuring procedure (page 12), plus check for additional ½" clearance in the back of the shutter. GRABER 10

12 MEASURING Window Opening Measurement (Inside Mount with Hang Strips, Direct Mount or Z-Frame) Measure the width at three points and the height at three points. Use the smallest width and height measurements. Confirm that the window is square. Measure the diagonals. If the difference between the two measurements is greater than ¼", an outside mount shutter is required. OK Not OK Frame to Frame Measurement (Outside Mount L-Frame Only) Place a sample of the L-frame on the window frame or wall to determine frame-to-frame placement. Measure frame-to-frame width at three points and frame to frame height at three points. Use the largest width and height measurements. NOTE: At least 1 3 4" flat surface is needed on each side of the window for an L-Frame. GRABER 12

13 SPECIFYING DIVIDER RAIL LOCATION For frame to frame shutter measurement, measure from the bottom of the frame to the center point of the divider rail location. For window opening measurements, measure from the sill or the bottom of the window opening. 13 GRABER
