Do the plantation shutters block out all light?
Asked by Sandra D ·
Hello Sandra, thank you for reaching out! The shutters are not considered blackout, but they will block the majority of light coming through and provide privacy, when in the closed position.

Can you install outside mount if you have a window sill? If windows are not even, I have an older house and windows are far from a perfect square, is there a way to resolve the gaps of an inside mount?
Asked by Laura ·
Hi Laura, Unfortunately, utilizing the inside mount L frame there will be light gaps and if the windows are out of square there will be bigger gaps throughout. We would recommend caulking around those areas to help or some will remove their existing trim so that they can mount our inside mount Z frames. If you have windows sills and want to do an outside mount then you want to make sure you are requesting the size accordingly. Please review our measuring instructions under the "Measure Install" tab or give us a call and one of our representatives would be more than happy to assist you with your project.
