An inside mount frame will prevent you from opening your windows. If your louvers are loose and don't want to stay in place, each shutter panel has a tension screw on each side. Simply use a screwdriver to turn each tension screw a 1/4 of a turn. Do this on both sides of the panel. No deductions are made to Outside Mount Shutters. If your windows tilt in, you should consider an outside mount frame. An inside mount frame will prevent you from opening your windows. 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. A replacement louver is included with each shutter.

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 74" in height need to have a dividing rail. To avoid excess louver overlap, a minimum of 18" is required between divider rail and the top/bottom rail of the shutter. Shutters with a hidden tilt and height over 52" are required to have a dividing rail. 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.
