Shutters R Us

Where would you like to mount your shutters? ( check our clearance table )

Mounting methods are:

INSIDE ( REVEAL ) MOUNT is where the panel will be fitted within the reveal of the window. i.e.: the window casement or ledge that protrudes from inside your opening towards the outside. It may be directly hinged to the reveal or mounted with a side moulding to compensate for width difference or clearance problems.

Note: for inside reveal mounting. When mounting your shutters inside your reveal ensure that the style of the shutter blade you choose has the required clearance. View our clearance table here.

OUTSIDE ( FACE ) MOUNT is where the panels are hinged or secured to the wall of the Architrave (trim) of the opening; or if there is no trim at the junction of the window casement and the wall the panel would be secured to the wall. This condition may require a mounting moulding attached to the wall to receive the panel. (further information)

Note: for outside reveal mounting. When mounting your shutters outside the reveal the shutter frame width will be a maximum of 60mm wider than the inside width of your opening. The inside opening is determined by the clearance needed for the blades to clear the reveal.
