How to Measure

TYPE ONE WINDOW: Metal sash without trim or sill. (Plaster or drywall opening). Measure opening size. Shutter unit, not including framing material made 3/8" larger than opening all four sides. Standard framing material furnished four sides. (View Sketch)

TYPE TWO WINDOW: Same as above with wood sill. Overlap and framing material for three sides, stop strip for top of sill behind shutters provided.

TYPE THREE WINDOW: Wood sash with sill and trim. To order by window size for outside hang, measure trim from outside edge to outside edge, from top edge to top of sill. Factory will deduct for framing material and provide standard framing material for sides only and stop strip for sill. Unit will be installed on face of trim. (View Sketch)

TYPE FOUR WINDOW: Same as above, without sill. Measure and install as above, except flush to bottom of trim.

BASIC RULE
Shutters will sag, if width from center exceeds height at hinges by more than three inches. Solution is to divide unit into two or three sections conforming with window configuration. To order by window size, sketch must indicate center line of post creating sections. Sections are priced separately by opening size, unless the opening to have mullions has a width that falls in the widest column on the price chart (either Bel Air or Brentwood). In this event the shutter is to be priced as a single opening but ordered as a multiple unit. When rectangular windows are wider than they are high and are to be double hung, the above basic rule applies.
