Check for obstructions (trims, borders, handles, tiles) - If there are any obstructions within the recess, you could either remove it or measure in between to find your smallest recess width. If you are unsure you can contact us and attach a photo of your window so that we can best advise you.
Width – measure on the inside of the recess at the top, middle & bottom, make a note of each measurement.
Height – measure on the inside of the recess at the left, middle & right, make a note of each measurement.
For the final measurement of your shutter use the smallest width and height measurement. We recommend taking 5mm off each – this will give you the exact size of shutter to order.
When ordering use the ‘Left Right Bottom’ frame sides option.
Width – as explained above.
Height – Measure from the bottom sill up to the exact height you want the shutter to finish. Take 3 measurements (left, middle & right) and make a note of each.
For the final measurement of your shutter use the smallest width and height measurement. We recommend taking 5mm off the width only and leaving the height exact – gives exact size of shutter to order.

Measure how far window handles protrude and cut all the templates to the right depth.
Important: The templates are the footprint of the vertical frames. Position templates on the windowsill in the bottom left and right corners of each window section. They must not overlap each other and they must not be positioned directly below a window handle (example layout shown in diagram above).
Width – Measure from the outside edge of the left template to the outside edge of the right template and make a note (mm)
Repeat for all other window sections in bay.
Height – Measure from the sill to the top of the recess in each window section and make a note of each measurement(mm). Only the smallest measurement is used for all window sections as all shutter heights need to be the same so that all slats and rails line up.
For the final measurements use the width measured in that window section and the smallest height measured in the bay. We recommend taking 5mm off each this gives you the exact size to order.
When ordering use the ‘Left Right Bottom with Sill Cut’ frame sides option.
A post/wedge is needed in between each frame for extra support and to allow the shutter to be fixed securely. See image above for guidance on how to measure the post/wedge you’ll need accurately. (If unsure contact us for advice)

When ordering use the special instructions/comments box at the final stage of you shutter configuration to tell us how many posts/wedges you need and the exact size of each.
