DIY Interior Shutter Kits: Measuring

Width: Using a wood or steel measure, measure the exact distance between the windowopening at two points
(as shown). Record the narrowest dimension.

Height: Measure the exact distance from the sill to the inside edge of the top casing at two points (as shown). Record the shortest dimension.


Width: Using a wood or steel measure, measure the exact distance between the hinging points at two points (as shown).

The Shutter: (Including Hanging Strips) Must extend a minimum of 3/4″ beyond the inside opening on each side, a total minimum of 1-1/2″. This is necessary if using a side-mount hanging strip.

Height: Measure from the sill to a height that gives the same amount of overlap on the top casing as you have on the side casings, at two points (as shown).
