ShutterHardware 
Orderingtherighthardwarecanmakeallthedifferencewheninstallingyournewfunctionalshutters.There
areafewthingstoconsiderwhendecidingonyourhardware.Reviewtheinformationbelowtoseewhat
typeofinstallationyourshutterswillbe.
ProjectedInstallation 
Theexteriorshuttersaregoingtofunctionsothatinthe
closedpositiontheywillcovertheopening.Noticethatthe
pinteloffsetisgreaterthantheotherexamples.Thiscreates
depthandallowstheshuttertoclosewithoutbindingwith
theedgeofthestructure.Theprojectedinstallationexample 
istheeasiestformeasuringbecausethere is notrimor
structuretodictatethemeasurements.
Recessed Installation 
Theexteriorshuttersaregoingtofunctionsothatinthe
closedpositiontheshuttersaregoingtobebetweenthetrim
aroundthewindows.Thusthemeasurementsmustbemade
frominsidetrimtoinside trimforwidthandhe ight.Itis
importanttorecognizethedepthcreat edby
thetrimasthe
depthoftheshuttermightbegreaterthanthatofthetrim.If
thisproblemexists,thencombiningpintelandhingeoffsets
cancreatemoredepthasintheprojectedexample.

Flush Installation 
Theexteriorshuttersaregoingtofunctionsothatinthe
closedpositiontheoutsideedgeoftheshuttersisflushwith
thesurfaceofthestructure.Thusthemeasurementmustbe
madebetweentheinsideedgesoftheopeningofthe
structureforwidthandheight.It is important
torecognize
thedepthoftheopeningasthedepthoftheshuttermightbe
greaterthanthatoftheopening.Ifthisproblemexists,then
