Frequently Asked Questions

Older homes throughout Montgomery County often have settling window frames, which makes precise, laser-level measurement critical for plantation shutters. Our team provides professional, custom-templating to account for these architectural quirks, ensuring a meticulous fit that eliminates light gaps and guarantees that your shutters operate perfectly for years to come.

We always check your window depth first; if the frame in your Willow Grove home is at least 3 inches deep, an inside mount looks cleaner and keeps the trim visible. If your window casing is too shallow or has obstructive cranks, we suggest an outside mount to prevent the headrail from protruding or damaging the hardware.

We look for at least two inches of depth in your window frame to mount the headrail flush for an inside fit. If your frame is too shallow or has obstructions like handles, we mount the brackets on the wall or trim outside the frame to clear the opening.

We check if your window frame has at least three inches of clear depth; if it does, an inside mount gives a cleaner look. If the frame is too shallow or has obstructions like window cranks, we recommend an outside mount to ensure the headrail covers the entire opening properly.
