Shutter Recess Type
Determine the best place to fit your Shutter for your style of window
Upon which style of window will your shutter be fitted? Define your window style and select the most suitable recess type.
For windows which open inwards we recommend fitting shutters outside the recess. This will allow the window to still function fully.
For windows which open outwards, Sash windows or windows which have no inward opening obstruction you can fit Shutters within the recess.
For windows with no recess, proceed to measuring – no recess, fitting over a window frame.
Measure For Your Shutters
