How To Measure For Shutters

Printable Version

Measure your windows carefully. Pay special attention to the exact fit you desire. In most cases, the height that is most appropriate is from the top of the window opening to the bottom of the window opening.

In choosing the width of your shutters, it is important to take into consideration the width of the window and the distance that they are spaced apart. Typically, the width of your shutter is half of the total window width.

Short Windows:
For short windows where the height is smaller than the width, divide the width of the window by 4 for your shutter width.

Double Windows:
For double windows, divide the opening width by 4. For consistency, if the width is close to the measurements for your single windows, use the single width.

Triple Windows:
Divide the opening width by 6.
