Clearance gaps between Shutter frame and Window opening when fitted inside reveal
4mm from the smallest opening
Important note
Window opening sizes will vary between 3-15mm from one side to the other due to sagging warping and poor window installation, this will create gaps that are inconsistent between shutter frame and window frame of 4-19mm due to the fact our shutters are perfectly square.
In most cases our professional installers can seal these gaps leaving a clean seamless finish when looking at the shutters from inside your home however when standing outside your home these gaps will remain noticeable.
