Measuring & Installation Guide for Exterior Shutters

Take careful Measurements.

It is important to measure your shutter pocket at the top and the bottom and on both sides, because window frames may not always be square.

Remember to measure and re-measure to verify your numbers before selecting your shutters and the desired mounting proceedure.

Select the best mounting & hardware options.

Terminology

Shutter Pocket - The opening into which the shutters will close.
Pintel - The male part of the hinge set that attaches to the house.
Strap - The female part of the hinge set that attaches to the shutter.
Siding Material - The siding material that is used on the house i.e. brick, plank, stucco.
Return Depth - The distance in inches, from the window sash to the outer edge of the structure (See A).

What type of moulding (180 brickmould, 1x4 flat mold, etc.) is around the window or does the siding material butt up to the window with no trim board at all?
