How to Measure for Plantation Shutters

Accurate measuring is essential for shutters

Plantation shutters are rigid framed products, so small measurement errors can affect fit more than with many soft window furnishings.

Measure width and height in multiple places

Take measurements at the top, middle and bottom for width, and at the left, centre and right for height. Openings are not always perfectly square.

Check recess depth and obstructions

Handles, locks, tiles, architraves and window winders can affect frame selection and panel operation.

Sliding and bi-fold openings

Large doors need additional measurements for track position, stacking space and panel movement.
