MEASURING WINDOWS & HARDWARE
 Measure
the window on the inside edge of the casement, as if the
shutters would be closed. This measurement is the "pair
width" (equal to twice the width of one shutter). If
your shutters will be functional, deduct approximately 1/2"
for clearance. If your shutters will remain open at all
times, rounding off to the closest inch is acceptable.
If you're using functional hardware, you'll
need to measure for the hinge offset. For easier measuring,
place a flat piece of wood along the wall, extending beyond
the window frame.
Measure from the window frame to the back
of the wood. This dimension is considered your offset and
is used when selecting hinge offset.
Measure from the back of the window frame
jamb to the back of the wood, and then add the thickness
of the shutter. This dimension will tell you how many "inches
open" you need when ordering leaf-style hinges, such
as our "H" Style Lift Off Hinges or Lull &
Porter Hinges.
Note the window
frame width.
Also note the wall's texture. Is it covered
with brick, stone or siding?
