How To Install Inside Mount Plantation Shutters

Preparation

Ensure you have all the necessary tools for installation:

  • Cordless drill
  • Phillips head screwdriver bit
  • Stanley Knife
  • Level
  • Step ladder (if your windows are high)

Organising Your Shutters

Select a spacious area on the floor near the window for unpacking and assembling your shutters. Typically, shutters come in two boxes—one with the frame and another with the shutter panels.

Locate the red tape on your boxes indicating the hardware pack. Carefully cut along the tape with your knife to open the box and remove the contents.

Set the panels aside and arrange the frame pieces on the floor to reflect their final position on the window.

Assembly

If using a Z frame with a sill, attach the bottom frame piece first.

Install a T post if required, noting the "B" label for the bottom. Assemble the frame, place it against the window, and screw it in using the pre-existing holes.

Lift the frame into the window recess, securing it with top screws. Do not fully tighten these yet, as you may need to adjust the frame.

Installing the Panels

Attach the panels, starting from the left, by aligning the hinges on the panels with those on the frame and inserting the hinge pins.

Adjust the panels to ensure they line up correctly. The frame can be flexed slightly for a square fit.

Make final adjustments, then secure the frame by tightening all screws and using all predrilled holes. To adjust panel height, loosen the hinge screws, make your adjustments, and then tighten the locking screw.

Add hinge packers for further adjustments by loosening the panel screws and sliding them in.

Finishing Touches

Place screw caps over all visible screws for a clean appearance.

If you've opted for an L frame, consider using a filler to close any gaps around the frame for a polished look.

Congratulations!

Your new plantation shutters are now perfectly installed and ready for enjoyment!
