Before you begin
A key step before you start measuring is knowing whether you would like your shutters on (known as face fit) or inside the window frames (known as recess fit).
Measure - Face fit

Measure the exact outside width of architrave in three different positions – across the top, middle and bottom.
Measuring the drop:

Midrail Measurement
If your drop is greater than 1800 mm you will require a midrail. When measuring the midrail, measure from the window sill (bottom up) to where you want the midrail.
We recommend that you measure the midrail in line with your mullion. If drop greater than 2400 mm two midrails are required.
T-Post Measurement
A T-Post is used to break wide windows that require more than two panels.
When measuring the T-Post, measure from left to right if window has mullion measure to the centre of the mullion. This will allow the T-Post to cover it, finishing the window off nicely.
