Inside Mount Measuring Instructions

What You'll Need

Steel measuring tape

Pen and paper

Step ladder (if needed)

Measure the Width

Measure the inside width of the window recess at three points: top, middle, and bottom. Windows are rarely perfectly square, so this ensures accuracy.

Important: Record the NARROWEST width measurement

Measure the Height

Measure the inside height of the window recess from the top of the recess to the sill. Take measurements at the left side, center, and right side.

Recommended: 100mm (4 inches) above, extend to sill or below

Check the Recess Depth

Measure the depth of the window recess from the front to the window glass. You need at least 50mm (2 inches) of depth for inside mounting.

Minimum depth required: 50mm (2 inches)

Check for Obstructions

Check for any handles, locks, or other obstructions that might interfere with the shutters operation. Measure their position and ensure the shutters will clear them when raised or lowered.

Outside Mount Measuring Instructions

What You'll Need

Steel measuring tape

Pen and paper

Step ladder (if needed)

Measure the Width

Measure the width of the area you want to cover. For best light blockage, add 100-150mm (4-6 inches) to each side of the window frame.

Recommended overlap: 100-150mm (4-6 inches) on each side

Measure the Height

Measure from where you want to mount the brackets to where you want the shutter to end. Add 100mm (4 inches) above the window frame for mounting space and light blockage.
