Panel Widths Up To 30
Inches
The maximum panel width for a single standard shutter panel in Palm Beach
Shutters by Designer Blinds has been increased to 30".
Previously, the maximum width was 28".
Extensive testing has
demonstrated that current panels made to the new maximum width will
perform as well as smaller panels and will require no additional
reinforcement.
When Panels of over
30" are needed, Designer Blinds recommends Hunter Douglas
Heritance Hardwood Shutters which can be made in panels up to 36
inches wide. |

Of course, changing this
specification, affects additional panel configurations. While it
only changes the panel width by two inches, when you extrapolate that
out to wider windows with multiple panels it makes a significant
difference.
