Lifetime Limited Warranty

All Acadia Living shutters have a lifetime limited warranty and will be free from defects in materials or 

workmanship for as long as the original retail purchaser owns the shutters, provided that such products 

were properly installed in residential dwelling; and such products were made or assembled exclusively 

from original materials and components. Any resale or other transfer of the product and/or materials 

voids this warranty.

For a complete copy of this warranty, please contact customer service by phone or email.

Adjust the Tension System

Use a clean dry cloth, feather duster or vacuum with brush attachment to gently remove dust and 

debris. To ensure thorough cleaning, wipe the louvers in the open and closed positions. 

Do not immerse the product in water and do not use harsh chemicals to clean. This may cause 

discoloration and the wood to warp. Ultrasonic cleaning is not recommended. For best results on 

Composite Shutters, use a cotton cloth dampened with water. Polyester cloths tend to create static, 

which can attract dust.

Maintain Your Shutter

If over a period of time the louvers on your shutters should 

loosen or not function properly, a built-in tension system can be 

adjusted. Simply open the panels fully and find the tension 

adjuster screw hole on the side of each panel. Use a screwdriver 

to gently turn the screw on each side of the panel to your desired 

resistance level. Repeat process for other panel(s) if necessary.

IMPORTANT

: Check shutter operation and alignment before installing frame inserts, as frame inserts 

can NOT be removed once they are snapped into place.
Match each frame insert with the corresponding side of the frame: Left to Left, Top to Top, Right to 

Right, Bottom to Bottom. 

Snap the frame inserts into place (OR remove double-sided foam tape and put the frame insert into 

place). This will cover screws and provide a finished look.

Step 5

: Add the Finishing Touch

     A rubber mallet can be used to help install frame inserts.
