HOW TO MEASURE SHUTTERS - SHUTTER MEASURING INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSIDE MOUNT

Measuring windows is easy as 1-2-3! Just follow these simple steps to see how to measure them so your inside mount plantation shutters fit perfectly.

Measuring for shutters is easy. Just follow these simple steps and you will be on your way to ordering beautiful new shutters for your windows. 

Before you start, you will need a steel measuring tape in 1/8” increments, a pencil, and a piece of paper. You can also download our handy printable measuring worksheet found on all Selectblinds.com product pages.

If you want your shutters to hang inside your window frame, you must first make sure the window is deep enough for an inside mount. Measure the depth from the glass to the outer edge of your window casing. If the depth is less than 2 ¾”, you will need to choose outside mount.  

For inside mount, you will measure the window in 6 locations. First, measure the exact width from left to right of the inside edge of the window frame in 3 places; the top, middle, and bottom.  If these measurements are different, record the smallest width measured to the nearest 1/8”.

Repeat these steps for the height, but measure from the top to bottom of the window casing in three places; top left, center, and the top right down to the window sill. Record the smallest height measured to the nearest 1/8”.

Please remember that if you are coming up with 1/16” you will need to round down to the nearest 1/8”.
