because the shutters are hollow, how much much light do they keep out when fully closed?
Asked by PATRICIA H ·
The shutters are comparable to real wood shutters in terms of light blockage. The fact the louvers are hollow has very little if any effect on light blockage. As with wood shutters, when the louvers are tightly closed there will be a small amount of light seepage between the louvers and the frames.

Do you make shutters for outside to go beside windows for decorative purposes?
Asked by Cindy ·
We do not offer exterior shutters at this time.
Answered by Blindster ·
we have old style crank windows. How do you shutters fit this type of window
Asked by Wayne h ·
Thank you for your question regarding our shutters. There are many variables that will help determine how a shutter will work on a window with a crank. Typically, an outside mount shutter would be utilized on a window that has a crank handle. Under certain circumstances, we are sometimes able to do an inside mount shutter if there is enough room. We would need more detailed information in order to give you a more precise recommendation. Please feel free to contact us direct at 888-256-8672, option 1 for sales and we will have our shutter specialist go over your options.

Do you make a shutter for side lights in the side of the entrance door?
Asked by Agatha G ·
Yes you can mount shutters to cover side light windows. There are minimum depth and width requirements for inside mount shutters but if the windows are too narrow or shallow, outside mount is a popular option.

I have a really large window seat window that is 115 ft wide. I am having a difficult time finding the kind of shades I would like for such a large window. What do you recommend.
Asked by Mamie ·
The maximum width for a 4 panel shutter is 96". However, you might be able to mount two or 3 smaller panels in the window and butt them together to cover the space. Please call one of our sales agents at 888-256-8672, option 1 to discuss your options.

Do the plantation shutters still let you open and close a window from the inside?
Asked by Casey R ·
Yes the shutters have hinges that allow you to open the shutters from the inside.
Answered by Blindster ·
window dimensions. Inside (dry wall finish)?
Asked by Jim J ·
Please review our measuring instructions for full details. For an inside mount, measure the width in 3 places (top, middle, bottom) and height in 3 places (left, center, right) and record the smallest of each measurement. These are the sizes you will order with no deductions. Depending on the depth of the window opening, you may have a choice between two different frame styles. Again, please refer to our measuring instructions for detailed information or give us call at 888-256-and we'd be happy assist you.
