How to Measure an Inside Mount Window e from id u g n io t a ll a t a simple ins ore The Shutter St www.shutters.co.uk How to Measure an Inside Mount Window ABS Range Before you start you will need: • A good quality steel tape measure • A spirit level • Paper and pen Measure the window and record the size , go awa y and have a cup of tea, go back, mea sure again, “ measure twice, cut on ce :-) ” Tip! Our shutters are supplied with a custom built frame. INSIDE MOUNT refers to the direction that the fixing holes are predrilled in the shutter frame. Therefore if you have a recess wall or a reveal which is deep enough to accommodate our shutter frames you can choose to fit your shutters as an INSIDE MOUNT INSTALLATION • USE A STEEL TAPE MEASURE • Measure inside recess from left side to right side. Take the width at 3 different locations across the window and give us the SMALLEST width. • Measure inside recess from top to bottom. Take the height at 3 different locations along the window and give us the SMALLEST drop. • If there are tiles which will reduce the overall width inside the recess you should measure within this area ( the smallest width in the recess). We can supply matching trim with your order should you need to cover any visible gaps you may have above the tiles. • We recommend we make a small deduction (-2 mm) to the smallest width and the smallest drop you supply. This will allow some ease when fitting the frame. We DO NOT make this deduction as standard, you will be asked to agree to it. • If the side walls of the recess are splayed at an angle we can supply matching trim to allow you to obtain a seamless installation from wall to wall. (Widest trim we carry is 50mm) • If you have an inward opening window or door you will need to consider the space you have around the window to allow for our frame to sit without restricting the window movement. • Please see our photos and illustration guides on how to measure correctly. • If you do have an unusual window or need further assistance please email us direct with a CLEAR IMAGE OF THE WHOLE WINDOW, we will show you in detail how to measure correctly!

Measure width x drop as per RED lines 2. For a midrail position, measure from bottom up to GREEN line. We will centre our dividing midrail at this point. 3. For cafe (half height) or tier on tier (double hung) shutters, measure from bottom up to the BLUE line for the finish height of the lower panel. NOTE: Inserting a midrail in a panel can offer flexibility on how you tilt the slats. A midrail can cover a handle or rail on your window or door. A midrail will offer greater strength and stability to taller shutter panels.

You need to make sure that you avoid the possibility of the slats tilting open and hitting any obstacles such as handles or a telephone junction box. If ordering shutters for an inside mount with an L frame, there is one frame available. You should locate the frame at a position inside the recess where the slats will not hit the window or obstructions.
