Width: Using a wood or steel measure, measure the exact distance between the window opening 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.
Divider Rail: Measure the height of the divider rail from sill to the top of the divider rail.
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).
Divider Rail: Measure the height of the divider rail from the sills to the top of the divider rail.
Framed Outside Installation: Please provide exact measurements from outside of frame
Mounting Options
Direct Inside MountA Direct Mount to the inside of the window is the simplest mounting option. Your shutter will be mounted directly to the window jam.
Hinges should not be mounted directly to drywall, but rather to the window jam.
L-Frame Inside MountA L-Frame/Inside Mount can be mounted on top of existing window jam or directly to drywall. The L-Frame is mounted directly to drywall or window jam.
Hanging Strip Inside MountAn Hanging Strip/Inside Mount can be mounted either on top of existing window trim or directly to your drywall. They provide a no-frame look for windows that do not have existing trim. The hanging strip frame is mounted directly to drywall (or existing trim), and then your shutters are mounted to the hanging strip using offset hinges.
L-Frame Outside MountA L-Frame/Outside Mount is a very popular mounting option. The L-Frame can be mounted either directly to drywall, on top of existing trim, or outside existing trim.
Z-Frame Inside MountA Z-Frame/Inside Mount can be mounted on top of existing window trim work or directly to drywall. If windows do not have existing trim, the Z-Frame/Inside Mount can provide a finished look.
Hanging Strip Outside MountAn Hanging Strip/Outside Mount can be mounted either on top of existing window trim or directly to your drywall. They provide an excellent option when an inside mount is not possible and you want the shutters to protrude as little as possible from the wall.
