Notes From Owner


PLANTATION SHUTTERS IN THE BREAKERS HOTEL PALM BEACH

 

JUST IN TIME!

Our Just in time manufacturing and continual improvement programs put us in a league of our own!

We proudly met every time line for the new room renovations for the Breakers Hotel installing over 800 windows with Indian River Plantation Shutters, three years in a row.





SAVORING THE VIEW

5 1/2 Louvers, like those shown above, Provide a great view, while eliminating the suns glare!   See the Light!

Most of us tend to think something on the window will block our million dollar views. If you have never experienced the ownership of a wide louver Indian River Plantation Shutter, the thought of the smaller 1-1/4 traditional louvered shutters might come to mind. Remembering back when you last saw or used the smaller louver, I am sure you will agree in order to view the out doors you had to have a way to open the whole shutter away from the window. Did you notice, even when the louvers were open the room appeared to be smaller?

If you want to keep the sun from fading everything in your home, keep a larger feel to your rooms, bring the out doors in, and still enjoy a practically clear view, try our 5-1/2 louver on 5 inch centers. This increases the view by all most 50% by decreasing the number of the typical 3-1/2 louvers. The 5-1/2 louver is a little more expensive but, if you can swing it you will be glad you did. A good alternative is the 4-1/2 usually the same price as the 3-1/2 and increasing the view by almost 30%.

 

Indian River Shutter Invests

In New Technology

AMI, APPLE, & SHERWIN WILLIAMS

January 3rd 2010 Indian River Plantation Shutter decided, in order to reach the next level in our business major systems had to be put in place. The decision was made to purchase all new Apple computers, a new computerized color spectrometer, and new software called AMI. All will be on line the first week of March 2010. The software is designed by the Abstrax Corp. and is tailored to fit Indian River Plantation Shutter Companies Specs. AMI’s Sales Assistant is the most powerful tool for selling custom shutters. As you select any combination of features with a few clicks, AMI instantly performs all the necessary calculations to display and price the shutter. Change a feature and AMI will instantly do it all again. There is no longer any need for estimates, hand calculations, or order validation. Based on our manufacturing rules and product offerings, AMI precisely determines every parameter such as louver spacing, constraints on shutter size and shape, and T-post requirements. AMI will not permit invalid selections, so invalid orders never reach manufacturing.

We are working hard to stay ahead of our competition. Implementing these improvements will allow us to continue to be the leader in our industry on the East Coast of Florida.
