I need shade for French door. Do they come with a hold down at the bottom to hold in place? I didn't see hold down as an option
Asked by Jo ·
Hi Jo, which product were you looking at? The Plantation Shutters are going to have a frame that you install around the whole window opening, there are not hold downs for this product.

What if top with measurement is different from bottom measurement by 1/4 "
Asked by Lynn G ·
Hi Lynn G., that should still be fine. We start recommending outside mounts when the variance measures more than 1/2". You will want to use the smallest size that you measured. Caulk can be used to fill the gaps, if necessary, where it measured a little bigger.

What does it mean in step 4 on measuring where it says if the window has a sill that protrudes from the window opening? I am interested in inside z frame mounts and my windows have about 3 inches depth. I'm just not sure what protruding sill means. thanks
Asked by Tony L ·
Hi Antonio, thank you for your question! A window sill is the surface at the bottom of the window, there are some bottoms that will protrude or stick out past the window opening into the room. If you have a window sill that sticks out into the room a little, we have to send a flat bottom frame to rest on the top of that window sill instead of wrapping around the window opening like the other 3 sides of the frame will do on a Z-Frame.

Is there a video on how to install the OUTSIDE frame for these plantation shutters? I read the measuring instructions but would like to see how it looks, installed.
Asked by Keith ·
Hello Keith, thank you for reaching out. We do have this video that shows how you install both inside and outside mount shutters. In this video it lays out the L-frame assembly for the outside mount. https://youtu.be/R8TbVZom8FQ

How far do outside mount 3 1/2" shutters project into the room? When closed? When open? Same questions for 2 1/2" shutters?
Asked by THOMAS ·
Hello Thomas, thank you for reaching out. Our L-frame shutters will come off the wall 2 1/16" (closed position). When in the open position the 2 1/2" louver will come out approx. an additional 1/4"; the 3 1/2" louver will come out approx. an additional 3/4". Please keep in mind if your have frames around your shutters that you are mounting on, this will alter how much they project into the room. If you would like to reach out to us with further details, please feel free to give us a call at 888-256-8672, option "1" for Sales, or email us at [email protected].

Will the shutters work with your blackout shades?
Asked by Doug ·

Can you put plantation shutters on crank out windows? Cranks are at the bottom.
Asked by Todd E ·
Hi Todd, thank you for your question. If the cranks protrude out past the depth of the window opening you will not be able to install the shutters on these crank out windows. There may be some other options though, please give us a call at 888-256-8672, option "1" for Sales.
