How wide are the sides of the frame and stiles? I'd like shutters for a narrow sidelight by my door and am trying to decide if the louvers would be so narrow that it would look strange. For example, on a 10" wide opening, if the frame is 1/2" and the stile is 1 1/2", then the louvers would be 6" wide by 2 12" tall.

Asked by Maria K ·
Shutters can be installed on a sliding glass door given the size of the opening is not beyond our constraints. They would most likely have to order this as a 4 panel bifold split.

How is the durability of the faux shutters of time and what about cleaning , easy, hard or what?
Asked by LAWERNCE R ·
Because the shutters are faux wood, they're moisture resistant, fading and warp resistant, allowing them to last much longer than wood. They're also great about keeping color over time. They are easy to clean. You can go over them with a moist rag or a Clorox wipe.
