What size shutters should I get for my windows? Should they be longer or shorter than them?
For recommended width please refer to our Recommended Width Chart. For the length, this is personal preference. For example, if you would like a functional look, you would measure inside the header down to the window sill. You can also align the shutters with the exterior trim around your window. (top)
Can I paint my shutters?
If your shutters are color clear through, we do not recommend that you paint them, as you will void your warranty. It is difficult for the paint to adhere to the polypropylene product. (top)
How do I remove Shutter-Loks?
To remove Shutter-Loks, they must be cut from behind the shutter using a pair of snips. (top)
