Shutter Installation

Proper mounting of the shutter is as critical as accurately measuring and building the shutter. There are a number of different factors that come into play when considering mounting a shutter. These can include the following: Window Depth; the depth of the window itself, Tile; preserving the tilt function of today’s window, Non-square; dealing with out-of-square windows, Screens; allowing the screen to be removed (newer homes may have a window screen restraint lip which allows for the screen to only be removed from the inside).

Window’s out of square? Even new homes have variances from window to window although they appear to be the exact same size. The trim carpenter’s custom work in framing the window cause the measurements to vary slightly. Framing or actual "house settling" can also influence window dimensions and cause variances.
