Ordering
Paramont Shutters are custom manufactured to your specifications. They are not cut down from stock panels and they can not be returned to stock once produced. These are truly custom products produced exclusively for you. You have as many options as you choose. It is important to specify all of what you want. Order forms should be completed on the job when measuring to aid you in your choices and to make sure that all of the options are considered.
Begin by specifying the product - Paramont, Cabana or DuraShutter. Options will vary among the products
Specify a "Sidemark", Purchase Order (PO) number or other unique identifier. The sidemark is usually the purchaser's name or street address. This is a convenient reference to the job. PO #'s are optional. Once ordered a unique order number will be issued and should be noted for easy reference.
Specify each window as a separate line item on the order form. A window will have only one frame but may have many separate panels.
