    1.2 – Determine the Squareness of the Window

    After taking the measurements of your window, you should next measure its squareness. When you do this, ensure that you are measuring diagonally from corner to corner. Should the difference between the two diagonals be greater than 6mm, a Face fit or a recessed Z Frame fit is highly recommended. Please see the image below for assistance.

    1.3 – Measuring Recessed (in) L and Z Frame Fit

    After you take the measurements of the window and its shape, it’s important you take additional measurements if you are after a recessed L and/or Z Frame. See the notes below for more information:

     For more information about how to measure specific frames, see below: 

    • Recessed L & Z Frame: Measure from the bottom of the inside of your window frame to the centre point of the desired location of the mid rail.

    How to measure guide?

    1.1 – Get a Precise1 & Accurate Measurement

    Before you learn how to install plantation shutters, it is important to understand how to measure your space to ensure your shutters will fit perfectly.

    Explore the tips below on how to measure your space accurately the first time:

    • Always measure with a new tape measure
    • Always measure to the closest millimetre 
    • Measure all windows, even though they appear to be identical in size and shape
    Recess Z Frame
    Recess L Frame
    Facefit L Frame

    1.2 – Determine the Squareness of the Window

    After taking the measurements of your window, you should next measure its squareness. When you do this, ensure that you are measuring diagonally from corner to corner. Should the difference between the two diagonals be greater than 6mm, a Face fit or a recessed Z Frame fit is highly recommended. Please see the image below for assistance.

    1.3 – Measuring Recessed (in) L and Z Frame Fit

    After you take the measurements of the window and its shape, it’s important you take additional measurements if you are after a recessed L and/or Z Frame. See the notes below for more information:

    • Width – take three measurements at the top, middle and bottom of the window opening.
    • Drop – take three measurements at the left, centre, and right of the window opening
    • For recess fit provides the smallest width and height measurement.

    1.4 – Measuring L Frame Face Fit (Out)

    After you take the measurements of the window and its shape, its important you take additional measurements if you’re after an L Frame face fit. See the notes below for more information:

    • Width: take three measurements from the edge of the architrave to the edge of the architrave at the top, middle and bottom on the window frame.
    • Drop: take three measurements from the top of the architrave to the bottom of the architrave at the left, centre, and right of the window opening
    • For Face fit (in)L frame, provide the largest width and height measurement.

    2.1 – How To Measure Your Mid-Rail Position

    The next step is to measure your mid-rail position. Mid rails provide strength to your shutters and allow you to operate the top blades independently from the bottom blades.

    When you are measuring your mid-rail position, please note the following: 

    • Customers are agreed to give up warranty claims if panels over 1800mm for basswood and 1600mm for PVC without mid rails.
    • Extra charges may apply if more than one mid rail is needed within 1800mm.
    • The most common placement for a mid rail is in the exact centre of the panel.
    • It is also common to place the mid rail at a natural break.

     For more information about how to measure specific frames, see below: 

    • Recessed L & Z Frame: Measure from the bottom of the inside of your window frame to the centre point of the desired location of the mid rail.
    • Face Fit L Frame: Measure from the bottom of the architrave to the centre point of the desired location of the mid rail.

    2.2 – How To Measure Your T-Posts Position

    A T-post is a vertical bar that is used to support and connect two or more panels of a plantation shutter. The T-post is placed in the centre of the opening where the panels meet. It is important to measure your T-Post’s position as it allows the panels to pivot smoothly and independently. 

    The maximum individual Panel Width is 950mm for basswood and 750mm for PVC. For larger windows, T posts can be used with any frame type where the size of the window requires three, four or six panels etc. They are used to divide windows vertically to match window design and cover large spaces.

    When ordering your shutters, you can choose Standard Panel widths – all panels are made of equal sizes or ‘Custom’. Below are measuring instructions if you choose custom sizes.

Description

DIY PVC Plantation Shutter Kits are shutters that are flat-packed. Louvers and rails are packed per panel per box, and stiles and frames will be packed separately per window. You will need to assemble all parts by yourself.

DIY PVC Plantation Shutter Kits are a classically elegant yet practical window covering. As well as providing an excellent way to control light and airflow in your home, good insulation, they are low maintenance, allergy-free and easy to use.

Plantation shutters come in a wide array of styles and can be customized to seamlessly fit into your home décor. No matter their size and shape, these treatments can be designed to offer complete or partial coverage to all window types, including arched, oversized and triangular windows. They’re also available in many colours to achieve your desired look.

Modern plantation shutters are made of hard-wearing materials like PVC, aluminum and wood. As a result, they don’t easily crack or peel and remain in good shape even with minimal maintenance. The best way to clean plantation shutters is with the brush attachment of a vacuum cleaner and regular wiping with a soft cloth. Unlike curtains and blinds, you don’t have to worry about machine washing them or damaging delicate materials when cleaning shutters.

Plantation shutters are made using durable materials. Unlike curtains and drapes, exposure to the sun, dust and changing temperatures don’t cause wear and tear to shutters. They can stand up to high humidity and effectively resist fading and cracking because they’re made with synthetic materials.

Plantation shutters are a great solution for insulating your home. They help keep your home cool when temperatures rise and warm during the colder months. This is because they are installed in such a way that they seal right up against the window frame, thus preventing inside air from escaping and outside air from entering. This improves energy efficiency and lowers utility bills.

Apart from privacy and security, the extra buffer of shutters between your windows and the outside is a great way to reduce outdoor noise. Cars honking or the noise from a nearby construction site can be reduced with the sound insulation properties of plantation shutters. Shutters help lower noise levels because of their noise-absorbing materials, tight-fitting frames and thick slats.

Unlike draperies which attract allergens, including pollens, dust and pet dander, plantation shutters have accessible, wipe-clean surfaces. If someone in your home has allergies, shutters are ideal.
Plantation shutters are a dynamic window treatment option with several benefits. They’re not only an attractive addition to your home but help save money on your utility bill while enhancing the comfort of your living space. If you haven’t considered buying them for your windows, give them a shot.

As mentioned, shutters seal perfectly with your window frame. Raising or lowering the slats affords you complete privacy so no one can look in. That said, windows are the easiest way to break into a house and shutters act as an additional barrier.

These window coverings are permanent attachments to your home. Unlike curtains, draperies, and blinds, they remain with the home even when it is sold. That’s why shutters are considered a selling point as they increase its value, allowing you to recoup their cost.

No matter the latest window covering trend, shutters are timeless. They complement most interior design styles, from rustic and minimalist to contemporary and traditional, and make windows look sophisticated and organized.

Plantation shutters fit snugly inside window frames, leaving no space for light to get inside. The slats you can open and close to allow in light. That means you don’t have to worry about the glare on your TV screen when the louvres are down, even when the sun is shining.

Window coverings with low-hanging cords can be a choking hazard for both children and pets. With plantation shutters, you have peace of mind knowing your little ones and furry friends are safe because these window treatments don’t have cords.
