Describe the physical characteristics of Peek a Booo shutters.
v
PB shutters are manufactured to the
exact size of your port light using UV inhibited (.030) Lexan® (polycarbonate).
v
The Lexan is silk screened in
alternating increments with a (grade #7) UV paint.
Color = Sea Shell.
v
All layers have .0250 separations
to prevent condensation. Total unit
thickness = .1875 (3/16)
v
A series of fasteners allows the PB
to:
o
Be fastened to the port light glass
/ Plexiglas.
o
Hold one layer stationary.
o
Allow the second layer to move
producing an open / close effect.
v
PB shutters are easily installed.
Remove liner from acrylic adhesive, then press to clean glass.
Installation temperature = 55+ degrees
(before acrylic adhesive activates). Working
temperature = -20 to
+120 degrees.
How long have Peek a Booos been on the market?
v
2+ years.
They were tested in Dallas for 1 year (summer temperature = 95+ degrees)
prior to bringing to market.
v
Peek a Booo shutters have been
installed on over 1,000 + boats.
Is there a 50% vision loss due to the vertical strips?
v
No there is not. (Unless
you have the use of only one eye). Peripheral
vision allows you to see every thing beyond the shutter.
v
The port light is often open
allowing an un-obstructed view.
v The shutter is now easily removed. On Jan 1, 2001 we began adhering the shutters with a new industrial product from 3M. It is a low profile, single piece, hook & loop, with acrylic adhesion. So now if you wish to watch the sunset through the port light, simply remove the shutter. Our experience shows that the PB shutters are almost never removed.
Do Peek a Booo’s make the boat 50% darker?
v No they do not. We do not sell PB shutters as room darkeners.** If you close all the shutters on your boat on a bright sunny day the interior of your boat will not be black. When the shutters are closed, they totally block out the sun’s heat and UV rays, but they still allow 60% of the illumination to come into the boat. Translucency and the UV grade of paint are relational. When the PB shutters are in the open position your boats interior brightness will be reduced by only 15% not 50%.
**Do you sell Room Darkener shutters?
Yes we do. These shutters will block 75% of the light. They add 15% to the cost.
What
kind of maintenance is required?
v
Peek a Booo shutters require less
maintenance than curtains. They are
dust and spider free. That’s
correct, SPIDER FREE! There is
something about the PB shutters that spiders just do not like.
v
Clean the PB shutters when needed
with Glass Plus™. It is ammonia
and phosphate free.
