How to Choose the Right Shutter Configuration

Shutter recommendations are based on the physical window and the design choices needed to make the finished product practical.

Window geometry comes first

Recess depth, sill, architrave and nearby walls can rule out certain frames or mounting methods before colour or panel style is considered.

Obstructions change the recommendation

Handles, winders, flyscreens and inward-opening sashes can require extra clearance or an outside mount.

Photos add context

Measurements describe size; photos show shape, hardware and surrounding conditions. Both are useful for unusual windows.

The recommendation still needs your confirmation

Review the selected frame, mount, panels and measurements against the actual window before manufacture.
