for Custom Plantation Shutters Plantation Shutter
Measuring Guide
In order to build you the best plantation shutters
possible, we need to know the window dimensions and
whether you prefer a painted or stained finish on your
shutters. We've detailed some information below on how
to measure your window openings for your new plantation
shutters.
Measuring for Outside Mount shutters (many sash
or bay type windows)
Width
With your steel tape, measure from the outside
opening from the left side to the obstacle that projects
furthest from the right side of the window. Take this
measurement at the bottom, middle and top of the window
opening. Select the widest of measurements as the
correct measurement. This will give you the measurement
which will determine the width of your plantation
shutters.
Height
With your steel tape, measure from the outside opening
from the top side to the obstacle that projects furthest
from the bottom side of the window. Take this
measurement at the left, middle, and right of the window
opening. Select the longest of measurements as the
correct measurement. This will give you the measurement
which will determine the height of your plantation
shutters.
Measuring for Inside mount plantation shutters (door
opening or windows with sill)
Once you have determined that there is sufficient depth,
and that your window opening is square, you will be
measuring for inside mount window shutters.
Please take all shutter measurements as tight (no
deductions) to the closest 1/16 of an inch.
Width
With your steel tape, measure from the inside opening
from the left side to the obstacle that projects
furthest from the right side of the window. Take this
measurement at the bottom, middle and top of the window
opening. Select the narrowest of measurements as the
correct measurement. This will give you the measurement
which will determine the width of your window shutters.
Height
With your steel tape, measure from the inside opening
from the top side to the obstacle that projects furthest
from the bottom side of the window. Take this
measurement at the left, middle, and right of the window
opening. Select the shortest of measurements as the
correct measurement. This will give you the measurement
which will determine the height of your window shutters.
