Preparing Your Windows for Shutter Installation

As you eagerly await the arrival of your shutters, you might wonder about the installation process and what preparations are needed for a smooth setup.

Ease of Installation The great news is that our shutters are designed for straightforward installation, so preparing your space is a breeze.

Clearing the Area Begin by removing any existing window treatments to clear the area. Ensure you have plenty of space to unpack and arrange your new shutters. It's best to place them on a soft surface to prevent scratches.

Window Cleaning: Take the opportunity to give your windows a thorough cleaning. This ensures your new shutters will be fitted into a clean and tidy environment.

Gathering Necessary Tools Before starting the installation, gather all the essential tools. For a successful installation, we recommend having the following tools at your disposal:

• Cordless drill: This will make the process quicker and more efficient.
• Phillips head screwdriver bit: A 150mm bit is ideal for reaching the recesses.
• Stanley Knife: For precise cutting during adjustments.
• Level: Ensuring your shutters are perfectly horizontal.
• Step ladder: If your windows are above reach.

Installation Guides: With your tools ready and your windows prepped, refer to our comprehensive installation guides for inside and outside mount shutters to guide you through the process.

Post-Installation Finishing After installing your shutters and ensuring everything looks great, you can use a multi-purpose filler to seal any small gaps in the window frame, providing a polished finish.
