Step 1: Measure Your Windows

The first step in our step-by-step guide to installing tier-on-tier shutters is to accurately measure your windows. Follow these guidelines:

  • Measure the width of your window at the top, middle, and bottom. Use the narrowest measurement.
  • Measure the height from the top of the window frame to the sill.

  2. Drill pilot holes for the screws.
  3. Attach the brackets securely using screws.
