Troubleshooting
Shutters appear faded after installation.
Ensure you are using genuine Ekena Millwork Lifetime Vinyl Shutters. Fading is not characteristic of this product line due to its fade-resistant properties. Contact customer support if fading occurs.
Installation hardware is missing.
Check the packaging thoroughly. If hardware is confirmed missing, contact the retailer or Ekena Millwork customer support for replacement parts.
Shutters do not fit the window opening properly.
Verify the shutter dimensions against the window opening. Shutters are typically sized to match standard window dimensions. Ensure you ordered the correct size. If a sizing error occurred during purchase, you may need to order a new set.
Shutters are difficult to clean.
Use only mild soap and water with a soft cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly stiffer non-abrasive brush can be used gently. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
