Practical checks to help you plan and look after your plantation shutters.
01
Check the closed window
Note the deepest handle, lock, winder and any screen fittings. Measure usable clearance at the intended shutter position.
02
Check the open window
Open every moving sash and check its path. Then consider louvre rotation and the full swing of each shutter panel.
03
Keep a photo record
Photograph the whole opening straight on, then take close-ups showing the handle and recess depth. Include the sill and architrave.
