Measure Your Windows

The next crucial step in our step-by-step guide for bespoke shutters installation is to measure your windows accurately. Follow these guidelines:

  1. Gather Tools: You’ll need a measuring tape, a pen, and a notepad.

  3. Measure Height: Measure the height on the left, center, and right side, recording the tallest measurement.
  4. Determine Mounting Style: Decide if you want inside or outside mount, as this will influence your measurements.

Be sure to provide these measurements when ordering your bespoke shutters to ensure a perfect fit. You might want to check our DIY shutters option if you feel confident.
