Window Opening Width

Steps to Measure and Select a Window Look
Step 1 Measure the Width and Length of your
Window Opening to get the Exterior
Window Opening dimensions (fig.1).
Remember to include the window frame in
your measurement.
Step 2 Choose Shutter Style: Louver, Raised
Panel, Louver-Panel, or Board & Batten.
Step 3 Choose Shutter Type: Standard or Custom.
Note: Not all shutter styles are available
Standard and Custom. See Pricing Manual.
Step 4 Determine Shutter Width.
Note: See charts in Pricing Manual for
available widths of Standard or Custom
shutters.
Step 5 Determine Shutter Length.*
Note: This number should be the same
number as the window length determined
in Step 1.
Step 6 Choose a “TOP”: Header, Sunburst Kit,
Sunburst, Elliptical Sunburst, Quarter Round
Arch Top or Elliptical Arch Top.
*A note about shutter length.
Shutters are decorative and do not open and close.
Because they are decorative, they don't have to match
the window length exactly. They can be up to an inch
short or long and will still look fine on a window.
Measuring Windows
Header Options
(Note: Header width is measured
along the base width of the header
for windows and doors)
Determine the header width
(2 options)
Option 1
Use window opening width
measurement from step 1 on page 1.
Option 2
Use window opening width
measurement from step 1 on page
1. Take shutter width from step
4 and double it. Add these two
measurements together to get
header width.
Sunburst Options
Note: Use of half round or elliptical
sunburst in a look is limited by
the width of window opening and
shutter width.
Determine Sunburst Size
Use window opening width
measurement determined in step 1
on page 1.
Note: Sunburst should be the same
width as the window opening width.
Determine Elliptical Sunburst Size
The elliptical sunburst is available in
73 ⁄" and 65 ⁄" widths only. To see
if this look will fit on your window,
take the window width from step 1
on page 1 and subtract it from the
sunburst widths. Take that number
and divide by two. The final number
would be your shutter width.
Determine Sunburst Kit Size
The Sunburst Kit is available in size
ranges. The Header part can be cut to
fit the desired width. Use the window
width determined in Step 1 on page
1. Add the shutter width determined
in step 4 on page 1 two times. Order
the Sunburst Kit that fits that size.
