Hi, Would you have a shutter that would work with a true bay window?
Asked by Nicholsco ·
Thank you for your interest! It is possible to put fauxwood shutters in a bay window. However, there are a lot of factors to consider. Please call one of our shutter experts at 888-256-8672, option 1 for sales.

This is for a garage window- how do they stand up to Texas garage heat?
Asked by Jim ·
Our faux wood shutters are the most durable shutters on the market. Since they are made with PVC they are heat resistant and waterproof which is ideal for a garage. The PVC is also treated with UV inhibitors to resist fading and warp in testing at temperatures up to 120 degrees.

Hi all, I have an inside mount window inside of a shower that is used for at least 2 showers per day. Would the faux wood plantation shutters hold up to that much water on a daily basis? Thanks!
Asked by Scott N ·
Thank you for your interest! Fauxwood will not be affected by moisture or water. Even the hinges are powder-coated for protection. However, we do not recommend that you submerge them in water. They should be fine in a shower.

standard 48 x 60 window... will need outside mount... can shutters that only cover the lower part of the window be installed on your outside mount? I am assuming the outside mount will still go around the entire frame of the window. The mount would not need the top most hinges... just the two lower ones to hang a shorter shutter.... or thats how I see it.... can you do that... about how much would it cost?

Maybe a better way to ask the question - what is the sill-horn length required to work with inside shutter installations, so that the integral Z frame trim line matches up well and looks right?
Asked by Ronster ·
If you are referring to the window sill on Z-Frame installations, if you have a window sill the protrudes outside the window opening, the shutter will have a flat bottom frame that rests on top of the window sill. There is a minimum depth required for Z-Frame installations (see measuring instructions). There is a photo in our photo gallery on the shutter page that shows the bottom of the shutter on top of a protruding sill. However since I'm not certain I understand your question, please call and speak with one of our sales agents at 888-256-8672, option 1 so we can better answer your question.

Do you have drawings that specify the dimensions for the Z, Trim, and Deluxe Trim Frame materials (i.e., a detail of the cross-section dimensions)? I have windows with a sill and I want to determine where the outside of the shutter trim will lineup, relative to the overhang of the sill. Thank You

Answered by Blindster ·
On the Z-Frame(Trim Frame) what is measurement of the trim piece on the outside of the window once installed? I have two windows that sandwich a fireplace, the inside edge closets to the fireplace can only be about 2 1/2 inches for me. Thank You
Asked by John ·
Thank you so much for your interest in our shutters! I will try give you a short explanation for a complicated question. The total frame on the sides is 1 3/8" from edge to edge (frame part only). However, some of the frame will be on the inside of the window opening. If your window is perfectly square and the wall (top to bottom) is completely straight then the part of the frame that extends out to the side will be approximately 1" to 1 1/8" on each side. There are other options that may work if the overhang is too wide. We review all shutter orders with the customer before we send them to the factory. Please call one of our shutter experts at 888-256-8672, option 1 for sales to get more detailed information.

Hi. Do you do shutters for sliding glass doors? If so, would they be fixed or bypass? Thank you.
Asked by Stephanie W ·
We do not offer panel track shuttters or shutters for sliding glass doors.
Answered by Blindster ·
I have Anderson style crank windows. Do you offer any plantation shutter styles that accommodate a crank lever located bottom center?
Asked by Sharon ·
Thank you for your question regarding our shutters. We do have shutters that will work with your Anderson style crank windows. We would have to use an outside mounted configuration to ensure that the unit will have enough clearance. Please call on of our shutter experts at 888-256-8672, option 1 for sales to get more detail about all the options available for that type of window.
