Getting accurate measurements is the most important step when ordering plantation shutters. Even a few millimetres can make the difference between a perfect fit and costly adjustments.
Start by measuring the width of your window recess in three places – top, middle and bottom. Then measure the height on the left, centre and right. Always use the smallest measurement when ordering DIY shutters.
Don’t forget to check the depth of your window recess. Adequate depth ensures your shutter frame and louvres operate correctly.
Many homeowners assume all windows are square, but that’s rarely the case. Taking multiple measurements helps identify any variations before ordering.
At ShuttersUFit, we provide clear measuring guides to help customers achieve a professional finish without paying showroom prices.
