If your window has a protruding sill, it can affect what mount options are available. - No Protruding Sill - Yes Protruding Sill ### What is the Window Opening Depth? The measurement of the inside of your window frame. There are different depth requirements for each shutter mount/frame. A value from 1/8" to 3", or greater than 3". ### Mount Type and Frame Style There are three shutter mount and frame style options which are determined by the specifications of your window. - Inside Mount Bullnose Z-Frame: Mounted inside the window opening onto the edges of the window. - Inside Mount - Z frame: Mounted inside the window opening onto the edges of the window. - Inside Mount - L Frame: Mounted inside the window opening and flush with the wall. - Outside Mount - L Frame: Mounted outside the window opening onto the trim, the wall, or a door. ### Louver Size The larger the louver size, the more light will shine through and the better your view will be. - 2 1/2" Louvers: The 2 1/2" louver is the traditional style. - 3 1/2" Louvers: The 3 1/2" louver is the more modern style. ### Panel Type The number of sections the shutter has and how it is configured. Most of the time, the panel type is determined by the width of the shutter, but some widths will allow you to have the option between mutliple types. In most cases, we recommend ordering the least number of panels possible as fewer panels will give you a more open view. - Single Panel - Hinge Left: One panel with the hinges attached to the left-hand side. - Single Panel - Hinge Right: One panel with the hinges attached to the right-hand side. - Double Panel: Two panels that open away from the center. The left panel will have hinges on the left and the right panel will have hinges on the right. - Four Panel: Two hinged panels on the left and two hinged panels on the right that open in the center. Both sets of panels fold together and outward when opened. ### Divider Rail A divider rail divides the shutter panel equally into two sections that open and close independently providing more flexibility in both light control and privacy. - No Divider Rail: All louvers operate together throughout the height of the panel. - Center Divider Rail: A divider rail is placed as close to the center as possible within the panels and adds stability for tall windows. This feature also allows for more privacy and light control by dividing the louvers into top and bottom sections that operate independently. ### Tilt Bar Type A tilt bar is what you use to open and close the shutter louvers. - Front Tilt Bar (standard): Provides the traditional shutter look, but will slightly obstruct view. ### Mount Location A small difference in height measurements in windows next to or near other windows in the same room may change the number of louvers on the shutter, in which case the shutter would not match the other shutters. If this shutter will be mounted next to other shutters in the same room, please order all the shutters with the same height measurement. - Stand Alone: This shutter is independent and not next to any other shutter in the room. - Next to other shutters: If this shutter is next to another shutter in the same room, we will make every effort to match the number of louvers per panel and the height of the dividing rail ( if needed) as near as possible. ## Restrictions - Divider rail required on all shutters over 74" high ## Colors 2 colors. ### $ - Essential - Pure White - Off White ## Highlights - 2 1/2" and 3 1/2" louver size - Child & Pet Safety - Insulating/Energy Efficient - Easy to Clean - Privacy - Eco-Friendly - Water Resistant ## Specifications - Min flat space For Outside Mount L-Frame: 1 ½ inches - Min Depth For Inside Mount Z-Frame, 2 1/2" Louvers: 1 5/8 inches - Min Depth For Inside Mount Z-Frame, 3 1/2" Louvers: 2 1/8 inches - Min Depth For Inside Mount L-Frame, 2 1/2" Louvers: 1 7/8 inches - Min Depth For Inside Mount L-Frame, 3 1/2" Louvers: 2 3/8 inches - Min Depth For Outside Mount L-Frame, 2 1/2" Louvers: 1/8 inches - Min Depth For Outside Mount L-Frame, 3 1/2" Louvers: 1/2 inch - Inside Mount Width/Height Deduction: Approximately ¼ - 3/16" depending on frame style - Min Depth For Inside Mount Bullnose Z-Frame, 2 1/2" Louvers: 1 3/8 inches - Min Depth For Inside Mount Bullnose Z-Frame, 3 1/2" Louvers: 1 3/4 inches ## Description Beautiful plantation shutters are within reach!

We do not offer shutters for arched, curved, or specialty size windows. Let's make sure you have what you need! - A metal tape measure - Pen and paper to record all measurements - Determine whether you will mount as an inside mount Z-Frame or an inside mount L-Frame based on the depth requirements and your window configuration. - Z-Frame: Mounted inside the front edges of the window opening with a trim-cased window frame. - Can be installed in windows with up to a ½" variance between your 3 width and 3 height measurements (see below). - Have a protruding sill? This frame will have a flat bottom that rest on top of the sill for support. - Minimum Depth requirements: - 2 ½" Louvers with a Front Tilt: 1 5/8" - 3 ½" Louvers with a Front Tilt: 2 1/8" - Bullnose Z-Frame: Mounted inside the front edges of the window opening with a trim-cased window frame. - Can be installed in windows with up to a ½" variance between your 3 width and 3 height measurements (see below). - Have a protruding sill? This frame will have a flat bottom that rest on top of the sill for support. - Minimum Depth requirements: - 2 ½" Louvers with a Front Tilt: 1 3/8" - 3 ½" Louvers with a Front Tilt: 1 ¾" - L-Frame: Mounted inside the window opening, is fully recessed and flush with the wall. - *Window frames that do not have equal measurements may create gaps between the shutter frame and the window opening. Caulk can be used to fill the gap. - If the variance between your 3 width and/or height measurements is more than ½", we recommend an outside mount L-Frame. - Minimum Depth requirements: - 2 ½" Louvers with a Front Tilt: 1 7/8" - 3 ½" Louvers with a Front Tilt: 2 3/8" How to Measure: Let's start with the Width: - Inside of the window opening/frame measure from left to right at the top of the opening, the middle of the opening, and then the bottom of the opening. Write down all 3 measurements and circle the narrowest. If rounding is necessary, round down to the nearest 1/8”. That is your ordering width. Now, let's do the Height: - Inside of the window opening/frame measure from the top of the opening to the bottom of the opening/sill on the left-hand side, the middle, and on the right-hand side. Write down all 3 measurements and circle the smallest. If rounding is necessary, round down to the nearest 1/8". That is your ordering height. Note: You are ordering the exact window opening size, not the size of the shutter to the nearest 1/8". The factory will make a deduction to your Width or Height to ensure your shutter will fit your opening. - Inside Mount deduction: Approximately ¼" less ### How to Measure: Outside Mount Please Note: Our shutters are designed for square and rectangular windows only. We do not offer shutters for arched, curved, or specialty size windows. Let's make sure you have what you need! - A metal tape measure - Pen and paper to record all measurements - Check if you have sufficient flat space and depth: This outside mount L-Frame requires 2" of flat space around the window. If you plan to mount this frame onto existing molding or trim, that space must also be at least 2" wide. - L-Frame: Mounted outside the window opening onto an existing wall, door, molding, or trim. - Minimum Depth requirements: - 2 ½" Louvers with a Front Tilt: 1/8" - 3 ½" Louvers with a Front Tilt: ½" How to Measure: Let's start with the Width: - If you are mounting the frames onto existing molding or trim, measure from the outside edges of the molding left to right at the top of the opening, the middle of the opening, and then the bottom of the opening. Write down all 3 measurements and circle the largest. If rounding is necessary, round down to the nearest 1/8”. That is your ordering width. - If you are not mounting on existing molding or trim, measure from left to right at the top of the opening, the middle of the opening, and then the bottom of the opening. Write down all 3 measurements and circle the largest. Add at least 3" to the largest width measurement (the one you circled). That is your ordering width. Now, let's do the Height: - Follow the instructions for the configuration that applies to you: - YES to molding/trim, YES to a protruding windowsill: - Measure from the top of the sill to the outside edge of the trim above the window opening on the left-hand side, the middle, and on the right-hand side.

That is your ordering height. - NO to molding/trim, YES to a protruding windowsill: - Measure from the top of the sill to the top of the window opening on the left-hand side, the middle, and on the right-hand side.

I purchased nearly 7K worth of Plantation Shutters from Blindster for 8 windows. The installation was realitively easy even though my windows awere slightly out of square, especially for a new residence. I'd definately purchase from Blindster again. The communication was excellent, and lead time for the order was maybe one week to 10 days. The shutters were packaged very well and sustained no damage in shipping via a large truck. Blindster provided a truck with lift gate service and the driver was super efficient." - 5/5, Reagan, 2025-10-17: "Love these shutters! They look beautiful, feel sturdy, and were easy to install. Great quality and perfect for my room!"
