From first call to finished windows
The measure. An installer comes to the house and measures every opening at the top, middle and bottom, and on the diagonal. Shutters are rigid, so a window that is a quarter-inch out of square has to be allowed for now.
The decisions. With samples in hand you settle the material, the color, the louver width, the tilt mechanism and the frame. This is also when you decide which way each panel should swing.
The quote. You receive one written price covering supply and fitting. Take your time with it.
The build. Once you order, the shutters are made to your sizes. This is the long part of the process.
Fitting day. Frames are leveled and fixed, panels are hung, and the gaps and catches are adjusted until everything closes cleanly. The installer finishes by showing you how to work and clean them.
Things that affect the fit
- Recess depth. Louvers need room to tilt without hitting the glass or a crank handle. A shallow recess means the frame goes on the wall face.
- Tile and trim. Window surrounds finished in tile, common in bathrooms and kitchens, limit where a frame can be screwed.
- Out-of-square openings. Frames with a wider face can hide small gaps.
Getting the house ready
Clear the sills and move furniture back so the installer can reach each window. Take down any curtains or rods you plan to keep. Arrange somewhere to keep pets away from open doors while panels are carried in.
If you are away part of the year
Have the measure done before you head north and book the fitting for when you are back. The weeks the shutters spend being built then cost you nothing.

Plantation Shutter Installation FAQs
How long does fitting take?
Most homes are done in a day. A large house, or one with several sliders and shaped windows, can run into a second day. The installer can tell you once the order is counted up.
Does the installer take down my old blinds?
Many do, and some will haul them away as well. It is not automatic, so ask at the measure and have it written into the quote.
