I want to do an outside mount of a L-Frame shutter. It will be mounted over and on top of an existing window trim molding. I want to make sure that there is enough clearance so that the louvers are cleared of the trim molding. Can you please tell me the width between the edge of the shutter frame and the start of the louver. Please also give me the top/bottom measurement. Thanks.

I just purchased shutters in the color Pearl. Do you know what brand of paint and the paint color that was used so I can paint my window trim to match? Thank you.
Asked by Jeannie M ·
Hello Jeannie, thank you for you question. Unfortunately, these shutters were not painted. These are polyvinyl faux woos shutters and the dye was put into the mixture when the shutters were being molded.

Before putting my order into production, please call me at 415 505-8181. I have weird windows with cranks and levers. I found no directives concerning appropriate choices for this type of window. If you contact me by email you must use alternative email as I will not have access to this email for 8 - 10 days due to construction. The alternative email: [email protected]

The depth of my sidelight is 1". Will I be able to open the shutters since they are over 2"?
Asked by CSan ·
Hello CSan, thank you for your question. With only 1" of depth you will need to mount these as an Outside Mount L-frame. An opening must have at least 1 1/8" of depth to mount as an inside mount Z-frame and at least 2" of depth to mount as an inside mount L-frame.

Asked by Jaybarb1008 ·
Hello Jay, yes, when the shutter louvers are closed they will help block out the sun.

Hello! I am shopping for shutters and at "Step 8 Select Panel Type" the Four Panel configuration shows two hinged panels. Are the center panels attached to the rail/frame? If they are, I am wondering how easy it would be to clean the side of the panels facing the street. I apologize if this is a repeated question. Thank you!
Asked by Patrick N ·
Hi Patrick, thank you for your inquiry! On the Four Panel that hinges, they will not be connected in the center, so you will have access to the back sides of these for easy cleaning.

i need two shutters one left and one right hinge . how do i add another shutter
Asked by Anthony D ·
Hello Anthony, thank you so much for reaching out! You will want to enter the shutters in one at a time. On the first shutter you may select your hinge left, fill out all the other steps and click add to cart. There will be a prompt asking if you want to go to the shopping cart or add similar. Click on the add similar button and it will keep you on the same page to re-enter a new shutter but you will select hinge right on this one. Please feel free to reach out to us at 888-256-8672, option "1" for Sales, or chat in with us! Our hours are Monday - Thursday 8 AM - 7 PM CST and 8 AM - 5 PM CST on Fridays.
