Simadis Shutter Offset – Hinge offset system for swing shutters

Simadis Shutter Offset – External Thermal Insulation (ITE) Hinge Offset System

Keep your swing shutters even if you have external insulation

The Simadis Shutter Offset System is a hinge-offset system specially designed to reposition existing hinged shutters following the installation of external thermal insulation. It addresses a common challenge in energy-efficient refurbishment: how to retain the original shutters despite the added thickness of insulation on the façade. Its adjustment bracket, comprising two plates housing an offset arm, offers an adjustable range of 120 to 170 mm, allowing the offset to be precisely adapted to the exact thickness of the insulation installed on site. Its reversible design, which can be used on either the right or left side of the shutter, considerably simplifies stock management for contractors, as a single product code covers all configurations encountered on a building site. Manufactured from cataphoretic-treated steel with an electrostatic coating, combined with glass-fibre-reinforced polyamide 66 components, this system guarantees excellent corrosion resistance and optimum durability against the elements throughout the insulation system’s service life. Supplied with its fixing hardware, this Shutter Spacer may require the addition of a set of hinges and reduction sleeves – sold separately depending on the diameter of the existing hinge – to ensure a perfect fit with the swing shutter. Facade specialists, joiners and energy-efficiency renovation companies will find this system to be a reliable, quick-to-install solution for retaining their clients’ existing swing shutters following the completion of external thermal insulation works.
