Measuring & Planning Multiple Shutter Panels
Panel divisions should suit both the width of the opening and the vertical lines already present in the window. Use that result for this step.

Plan the Shutter Panels
Wide openings are divided into multiple hinged shutter panels rather than one oversized panel. An individual panel can be manufactured up to approximately 900mm wide.
Uneven Window Panes and Multiple Panels
Where the window panes are not equal in width, custom panel positions can bring the shutter joins closer to the existing vertical divisions. Each panel must still stay within the manufacturing limits, including the approximate 900mm maximum width.
Set Custom Panel Positions
Custom panel positions are set by locating each T-post at the required cumulative position. Measure every T-post from the far left-hand finished-shutter reference point; do not measure individual panel widths from one join to the next.
- Inside mount: start the cumulative panel measurement at the inside-left edge of the recess.
- Outside mount on an architrave: start at the outer-left architrave edge.
- Outside mount without an architrave: start at the left-hand outside-mount reference point used for the shutter width.
