Window Depth

Why It Matters:

Determines if shutters can be inside-mounted or need an outside mount.

Measurement Tip:

Measure the depth from the window pane to the edge of the frame.

Protruding Sill

Why It Matters:

Impacts frame style and installation for outside-mounted shutters.

Customization Tip:

Choose a frame style that accommodates the sill depth.

Window Molding

Why It Matters:

Window molding can influence the mounting type and frame choice for your shutters.

Customization Tip:

Check if the molding extends into the window opening or beyond the frame to determine compatibility with inside or outside mounts.

Tilt-In

Why It Matters:

Tilt-in windows affect shutter clearance and accessibility for cleaning and maintenance.

Customization Tip:

Opt for a tilt-out design or removable panels to ensure functionality with tilt-in windows.

Height & Width

Why It Matters:

Accurate height and width measurements ensure a perfect fit and prevent gaps or improper alignment.

Measurement Tip:

Measure at three points (top, middle, bottom) for width and (left, center, right) for height, and use the smallest measurement.

Window Squareness

Why It Matters:

Out-of-square windows may require custom adjustments or specific frame types for a proper fit.

Measurement Tip:

Measure diagonally across the window; uneven measurements indicate the window is not square.

Panel Configuration

Why It Matters:

The panel layout affects the aesthetics, light control, and accessibility of the shutters.

Customization Tip:

Choose single or double panels depending on your window's size and your design preferences.

Tilt Option

Why It Matters:

The tilt rod style impacts both the functionality and look of your shutters.

Customization Tip:

Select a hidden tilt rod for a sleek appearance or a traditional tilt bar for a classic look.

Louver Size

Why It Matters:

Louver size influences light control, privacy, and the overall design aesthetic of your shutters.

Customization Tip:

Choose larger louvers for a modern look and smaller ones for a more traditional feel.

Divider Rail

Why It Matters:

Divider rails allow you to control the upper and lower louver sections independently.

Customization Tip:

Position the divider rail at eye level for optimal functionality and privacy.

Split Tilt

Why It Matters:

Split tilt adds versatility by letting you adjust louvers separately without a divider rail.

Customization Tip:

Use split tilt for rooms requiring varied light control, such as living rooms or offices.

Frame Type

Why It Matters:

The frame type affects the fit, style, and installation method of your shutters.

Customization Tip:

Choose from inside-mount frames for a clean look or outside-mount frames to cover imperfections.

Side By Side

Why It Matters:

Side-by-side panels on wide windows ensure stability and ease of use while maintaining symmetry.

Customization Tip:

Use T-posts or bifold designs for wide windows to enhance functionality and balance.
