The measurements shown in the tables below are:

• width - from the outside of one hanging strip to the outside of the opposite hanging strip (see illustration).  Width shown in table includes hanging strips.
• height - from the bottom to the top of the shutter panels (see illustration)

Choosing the correct size for your Standard Sized Plantation Shutters:

1. Choose a size that is at least 2-1/8 inches wider than your window so that you can mount the hanging strips.  Do not go more than 6 inches wider than your window or your louvers may overlap the wall. 
2. Choose a height that covers your window.  Do not go more than 3 inches higher than your window or your louvers may overlap the wall.
3. Feel free to stack Standard Sized Plantation Shutter Sets on top of each other to cover taller windows, but make sure the combined shutter height is not more than 3 inches higher than your window.  Shorter Plantation Shutter Sets also make great cafe' shutters!

Notes:

• The size of the shutter panels alone can be calculated by subtracting 2 1/4 inches from the width shown in the table.  For example, a 32 1/4" wide set is made of two shutter panels totalling 30" wide (15" each panel) and two hanging strips with hinge gaps and allowances totalling 2-1/4".
• If you are looking to cut down your standard sized plantation shutters, each shutter panel can be shaved up to 1/2" each side (1" total width reduction) and 1/2" top and bottom (1" total height reduction).
• Colors for the sets are Sherwin Williams Extra White (painted) and Sherwin Williams Golden Oak (stained).
