How you tilt
Somerset is built like Summerview, with the same adjustable catch. The gear simply replaces the tilt bar.
Hidden gear, no tilt barMove one slat with your hand. A gear hidden in the frame moves the rest.
Slat width
The slats are also called louvres. Wider slats show more of the view when open.
Narrow slatsA traditional look, with more slats per panel. Good on small windows.
Medium slatsThe all-rounder: more of the view, still classic.
Wide slatsWide and modern. The most view and the most light.
Ways to open
French door frames, café style and separate top and bottom panels are available too.
Hinged panelsPanels swing open on hinges to clear the window.
Sliding panelsPanels slide past each other on a track. The answer for patio doors.
Folding panelsPanels fold back in pairs along a track, to clear a wide opening.
Frames
The frame finishes the shutter around your window and hides uneven edges. We suggest the right one when we measure.

Made to measure

A frame inside the window, or on the wall around it. We suggest the right one.
Room for handles
We check the depth, so the slats tilt freely past handles and cranks.
Common questions about Somerset vinyl shutters
Something else? Call 647-300-1033. We are happy to talk it through.
How do you tilt the slats with no tilt bar?
Move any slat with your hand. A gear hidden in the frame turns all the others with it.
Is Somerset the same as Summerview?
It is built the same way, with the same catch and frames. The hidden gear simply replaces the tilt bar.
Can Somerset go on a patio door?
Yes. Panels can slide past each other on a track, or fold back in pairs.
How do I look after vinyl shutters?
Wipe them with mild soap, water and a soft cloth. Never use ammonia or scouring pads. On hot, sunny days, open them now and then so heat can escape.
Do shutters block all the light?
No. Closed slats block most of the light, but a little shows between them. For a dark bedroom, see the Blackout roller system.
Is the consultation free?
Yes. The in-home consultation is free, with no obligation. Measuring and installation are quoted with your order.
