ABSTRACT:
A component shutter assembly and method of forming same. The assembly comprises a one-piece molded plastic, integrally formed shutter panel. The shutter panel may be molded in a small plurality of standard lengths and then one or both ends thereof cut to shorten the shutter panel to a specific, desired length once it is determined what-specific length of shutter is needed for a particular application. An independent, integrally formed end panel may then be secured to one or both ends of the cut shutter panel and ultrasonically welded thereto to form a finished component shutter assembly having a particular desired length and the appearance of a one-piece, integrally formed shutter. Embodiments directed to raised panel and louvered shutters are disclosed, as is a removable center panel section which may be used in connection with the louvered shutter panels if it is desired to provide a mid-panel section which is offset from the mid-point of the overall length of the shutter panel. By providing standard length shutter panels which may be cut to specific desired lengths, component shutter assemblies can be created which have a wide plurality of overall lengths from only a very small plurality of standard length panels. The assembly of each of the component shutter assemblies disclosed is also simplified considerably as a much smaller plurality of independent component parts are required to be assembled to form a finished component shutter assembly.
