Hello! Measuring for your new plantation shutters is faster and easier than you think. Let’s walk you through the simple steps now!
This determines exactly where you’ll take your measurements from, so it’s worth deciding first.
Our shutters fit discreetly inside your window frame for a seamless, sleek look that’s fabulous in any room, especially kitchens and bathrooms. This style is perfect for deep recesses with minimal obstructions. You can choose an L frame for a discreet look, a Z frame to correct out-of-square windows, or go for a full or 3-sided frame depending on your sill. Customise your look completely by positioning the midrail, selecting your panel and hinge combination, and matching your hinge colour to the shutter or your room’s fittings.
First, confirm you have 65mm of clear recess depth, measuring from any obstructions. Next, note your frame type—we recommend the small L frame, while the Z frame is great for out-of-square windows. Finally, choose between a full frame or a 3-sided frame, which is ideal for window sills or obstructions at the bottom.
Our shutters mount directly onto the wall or architrave surrounding your window for a bold, statement look that’s ideal for shallow recesses, uneven reveals, or windows with no recess to work with at all. This style is fabulous for making a window feel bigger, and it’s the simplest option when there’s nothing to fit inside. We use a clean L frame that sits flush against the wall around the opening. Customise your look completely by positioning the midrail, selecting your panel and hinge combination, and matching your hinge colour to the shutter or your room’s fittings.
First, measure the outer edges of the architrave (or the wall area you’d like the shutters to cover) — left edge to right edge for your width, top to bottom for your height. Next, check the wall around the opening is flat enough for an L frame to sit flush. Finally, allow a little extra width and height beyond the architrave if you’d like the shutters to sit slightly proud of the window for a bolder look.
