Production Process

PVC Material Path

PVC extrusion follows a fully in-house production path -- from resin compounding through to final inspection -- with no dependency on third-party profile suppliers.

1
Resin Compounding

Virgin PVC pellets blended in-house; wall thickness & compound formulation controlled internally

2
Extrusion

50+ dedicated extrusion lines; 200+ proprietary die profiles for louvres, frames and rails

3
Cutting & Sizing

CNC cross-cut to spec; custom louvre widths 47-130 mm; arched and shaped profiles processed at this stage

4
Assembly

80+ automated assembly workstations; tilt rod, staple-free tenon joints, tension calibration

5
Inspection & Packing

FQC full-panel check; UV anti-yellowing test; foam-insert export carton

Process note: No colour coating is applied to standard PVC louvres -- colour stability is achieved through compound pigmentation at the extrusion stage. This eliminates peeling or surface delamination over the product lifetime.

Production Process

Aluminum Material Path

Aluminum 6063-T5 processing -- from billet extrusion through powder coating to final assembly -- handled entirely on-site with in-house die tooling and finishing capability.

1
Billet Extrusion
6063-T5 aluminum billet extruded into frame, louvre and rail profiles; die tooling owned in-house
2
Pre-Treatment
Degreasing, chromate conversion coating; surface prepared for powder adhesion
3
Powder Coating
Electrostatic powder coat on-site; film thickness monitored per batch; custom colours supported
4
Cutting & Assembly
CNC mitre and cross-cut; frame joining, louvre tensioning and hardware fit at 80+ workstations
5
Inspection & Packing
Coating adhesion cross-cut test; dimensional check; humidity cycling validation on sampled lots

Specification note: Aluminum 6063-T5 is recommended for coastal, high-humidity or marine environments where solid wood or PVC may not perform optimally. Custom colour matching available; minimum run quantities apply.

Production Process

Wood Material Path

Solid wood machining spans nine production stages -- from timber grading and kiln drying through CNC shaping, multi-coat finishing and final assembly -- all managed under one roof.

  1. Timber Grading
    Basswood, paulownia, ash and FSC® pine inspected at intake; moisture content checked before processing
  2. Rough Milling
    Gang rip saws reduce blanks to louvre and frame blanks; defect zones removed at this stage
  3. Kiln Drying
    4+ drying kilns; target moisture content 8-12% to reduce in-service warping risk
  4. CNC Profile Shaping
    20+ CNC machining centres; louvre radius, mortise and tenon, arch and shaped frames in a single setup
  5. Sanding
    6+ wide-belt sanders; multi-grit sequence from 80 to 220; open-pore surface prepared for coating
  6. Coating & Staining
    3 automated water-based coating lines; primer + sealer + topcoat sequence; UV anti-yellowing test on every batch
  7. Cutting & Drilling
    Final cross-cut to order dimensions; tilt rod holes, staple slots and hinge mortises punched or bored to spec
  8. Assembly
    Panel build-up at dedicated workstations; louvre tension, hinge alignment and frame squareness verified
  9. Inspection & Packing
    FQC full-unit check; humidity cycling test; foam-cornered export carton with bilingual labelling

Humidity advisory: Solid wood shutters are not recommended for rooms with sustained ambient humidity above 70% (e.g. steam-heavy bathrooms or laundries). PVC or aluminum are the appropriate specification for those environments.
