When considering an inside mount frame, you should also measure on the diagonal (from corner to corner) each way. If the measurements are off more than 1/2", you should consider ordering an outside mount frame. If your windows tilt in, you should consider an outside mount frame. An inside mount frame will prevent you from opening your windows. Trim molding can affect the installation of your shutters. Ideally, not having trim molding works best. If you window has a sill then you need to choose the 4 Sided w/ Sill Frame option to ensure your shutters can be installed properly. 27" maximum width for single panel.

Cancelling an order within the first 3 days will incur a 50% restocking fee. Orders cannot be canceled after 3 days. Measuring Considerations To avoid light gaps around the frame, consider ordering an outside mount frame. When ordering outside mount shutters, please ensure you read our Measure & Install tab to ensure you are entering the correct measurements for your shutters. Shutters over 62" in height need to have a dividing rail. Specify the dividing rail location by providing the distance from the bottom of the shutter to the mid point of where the dividing rail will go. Dividing rail position will vary slightly depending on louver size. 3" louvers will vary up to 1 1/4" from the specified position, and 4" louvers will vary by up to 1 3/4". To avoid excess louver overlap, a minimum of 16" is required between divider rail and the top/bottom rail of the shutter. When ordering adjacent shutters in the same room, to achieve a uniform appearance you must specify that all adjacent shutters and their divider rails be the same height. Measuring for shutters is very important. Please ensure you are selecting the correct measurements above.
