MEASURING FOR DEPTH CLEARANCE
Depth clearance is the minimum window depth required for shutters to operate without interfering with window parts.
Measure from the front of any obstruction to the front edge of the window frame to determine depth.
NOTE:
If your window does not meet minimum depth for outside mount, then frame extensions are available. Each frame
extension will increase clearance by
1
⁄
2
in.
Top Rail
Bottom Rail
Louvers
Every specific shutter height is made up of a unique combination:
(1) a top rail
(2) a bottom rail
(3) a number of evenly spaced louvers
(4) possibly one or two divider rails
The distance between each louver is always the same, therefore to change the height of
a shutter; we must increase or decrease the size of the shutter.
To achieve a uniform appearance and minimize variations, as well as maintain an equal
number of louvers in adjacent shutters, we recommend adjacent shutters be ordered
the same height.
If heights are not the same, apply one of the following three options when ordering
shutters for adjacent windows
For inside mount mounting strip or L frame you may reduce taller shutters up
to
1
⁄
8
in maximum.
For inside mount with Z frame, Bullnose, Trim frame or Décor Trim Frame you may
reduce taller shutters up to
1
⁄
2
in maximum.
For height adjustments of more than
1
⁄
2
in, we recommend an outside mount.
