Repairing Floppy Louvers on a Plantation Shutter

With so many homeowners turning to plantation shutters as their choice for style and function, there are a few simple maintenance items to know about to keep them working well.  One such item is learning how to deal a section of louvers that won't stay in place - i.e. they flop down after you put them in place.  In essence the louvers have lost the tension which holds them where you set them.

Hopefully, you purchased a quality shutter product.  If you did, then you can fix this problem in about 2 minutes.  Here is how: (images below)
  • Open the shutter panel and examine the edges of the panel for a series of small round holes.
  • These holes should be evenly spaced and on both side of the panel - (i.e. room side and window side)
  • Take a Phillips Head screwdriver and insert it in the hole and feel for a connection with the tension screw.
  • BE GENTLE - and turn the screw clockwise while holding the louvers steady with your other hand.
  • You should feel the tension screw firm up a bit, but do not over tighten.
  • Repeat this process with the screws on the other side of the panel.  
  • Test the louvers, they should be firm but not over tight when moving.
  • That's it - You just adjusted the tension on your plantation shutter's louvers.

Of course, we would love to help you design your plantation shutter project. Contact us today for a complimentary consultation.  Thanks for your interest in Latreia Blinds and Shutters!
