Shutter Order Form Guide

Add a room name for reference. This will be printed on the packing slip

to help identify your shutter location upon arrival.

As you fill out the Shutter Order Form, use these steps for guidance along the process.

2 | Window Measurements

Measure all windows separately, no matter how similar they appear.

NOTE: Use a durable steel tape measure. Do not use a cloth tape measures as they can stretch

and provide inaccurate measurements.

Height

Width

Diagonal

⅛ Inch

2A. Window Width

• Measure the inside of the window opening, not the glass.

• Measure window width in 3 places. Record the shortest measurementand round down to the nearest ⅛ inch.

• Do not make any deductions, allowances or additions.

2B. Window Height

• Measure the inside of the window opening, not the glass.

• Measure window height in 3 places. Record the shortest measurementand round down to the nearest ⅛ inch.

• Do not make any deductions, allowances or additions.

NOTE: All shutters must be ordered the same height to achieve a uniform appearance and equal number of louvers. If the height measurements differ, apply one of the options below:

- For inside mount mounting strip or L Frame you may reduce taller shutters up to ⅛ in maximum.

- For inside mount with Z Frame, Bullnose, Trim frame or Décor Trim Frame you may reduce taller shutters up to ½ inches maximum.

- For height adjustments of more than ½ inches, we recommend an outside mount.

2C. Window Diagonals

• Measure the inside of the window opening, not the glass.

• Measure window diagonals by checking distance from cornerto corner and marking the result.

• Subtract the shorter number from the longer number and notein section 2C of the order form.

3 | Window Molding/Trim

4 | Window Sill

Does your window have trim? If it does, what is the width of the trim?

NOTE: If window does not have molding or trim, please enter “0”.

Does your window have a window sill?

Depth

2D. Window Depth

• Measure from the front of any obstruction to the front edge of thewindow frame to determine depth.

NOTE: Depth clearance is the minimum window depth required for shutters to operate without interfering with window parts. Shutters can be mounted anywhere within a frame as necessary, as long as there is adequate window depth and flat surface area. Window obstructions include, but are not limited to: Window Cranks, Window Locks, Alarms and other items.

No Molding / Trim Enter “0” on order form

If your window has molding, measure the flat surface of

the molding/trim.

5 | Mount Type

LEVOLOR recommends Inside Mount as the preferred mounting method for

an easy install and clean look, however Inside Mount may not be possible in all

situations. Answer the following questions to determine your mount type.

Inside MountShutter will mount inside your

window opening

Outside MountShutter will mount outside

your window opening on molding/trim or wall

• Does your window have less than 1 ¼ inch of depth clearance(reference your answer from Step 2D) – Circle Y/ N

• Is your window more than ½ inch out of square?(reference your answer from Step 2C) – Circle Y/ N

• Is the only way to open your window by tilting in?(see Figure C below) – Circle Y/ N

- If you circled “Y” to any question above, you must selectOutside Mount.

- If you circled “N” for all questions above LEVOLOR recommendsyou select Inside Mount.

• If you selected Outside Mount and your trim measurement(reference your answer from Step 3) is less than 1 ⅜ inch(not including “0”), we do not recommend Shutters.

Figure C. Many windows open through both “raise/lower”

as well as tilt in (for cleaning). In this case, Inside Mount

may interfere with the tilt in operation of your window but

can still be selected.

The 2 ½ inch louver is the more traditional size, while the larger 3 ½ inch and 4 ½

inch louver sizes offer a more contemporary look and a greater view to the outside.

Larger louvers will require more depth clearance in the window.

Use the below chart and the Frame Style selected in (Step 7) as well as the

Window Depth from (Step 2D) to confirm your selected louver size will work.

You will need to select a different frame style if your desired louver size is

not available.

10 | Panel Configurations

LEVOLOR Shutters are offered in three tilt options:

Tilt Bar, Gear Closure and Motorized.

The chosen panel configuration is based on P#-XXX. P# means the number of panels

and x being the hinged panel side, left (L) or right (R) and T-Post. Example: P3-LTLTL means

(3 - Panels - Left Hinge, T-Post, Left Hinge, T-Post, Left Hinge)

• The Tilt Bar option has a centered tilt barlocated on the front of the shutters, giving them atraditional look.

• The patented Gear Closure System is an optionalupgrade. The hidden gear operating systemsprovides an unobstructed view and modern lookand allows for a smooth superior closure.

• The Motorized tilt option allows you to adjust thelouver position using the LEVOLOR app or remote.

11 | Divider Rails

11A. Use divider rails to create top and bottom sections. This allows the bottom half of shutters

to be fully closed for privacy, while allowing the upper half to be open. Please identify on the

order form how many divider rails you would like added to your order

11B. Based on your shutter application, Inside Mount or Outside Mount (Step 5),

estimate the divider rail placement.

• A divider rail is required for any shutter panel over 66-inches in height.

• Two divider rails are required for shutter panels over 90-inches in height.

• There is no extra charge for divider rails.

• Motorized shutter panels with a divider rail require 2 motors (top & bottom)

• If there are two divider rails along with the motorized tilt, the mid-section of louvers willoperate simultaneously with either the top section of louvers or the bottom section oflouvers. Preferred configurations must be selected at the time of order.

Using the diagram above:

• Identify the desired location measurement of the #1 Divider Rail.

• Identify the desired location measurement of the #2 Divider Rail.

• Divider rail location may vary up or down by 1 ½ in. from the height requested.

Cut Out Height (C or D)

Measure from the bottom of the molding to the middle of the desired cutout location.

The cutout can be centered on the door handle (“C”) or centered between the door handle and the deadbolt (“D”). Add 1 3⁄8 in for the L frame at the bottom of the shutter.

An optional divider rail may be ordered, and will be centered on the location of the cutout.

The divider rail will be positioned on center of the cutout.

Frame ExtensionsDepending on the louver size, tilt mechanism and whether or not there is molding around the glass that protrudes into the room, we will add the necessary frame extensions.

Measure Width (A)

If If no molding present — Measure outside of the glass in three places (top, middle, and bottom) and record the measurements to the nearest 1⁄8 in.

Mounting on top of molding or around molding — Measure the outside width, including the molding, in three places (top, middle, and bottom) and record the measurements to the nearest 1⁄8 in. If measuring on top of molding, the molding must be at least 1 3⁄8 in. wide. If measuring around the molding, please make note of that, and the factory will make necessary adjustments.

Measure Height (B)

If no molding present — Measure outside of the glass in three places (top, middle, and bottom) and record the measurements to the nearest 1⁄8 in.

Mounting on top of molding or around molding — Measure the outside width, including the molding, in three places (top, middle, and bottom) and record the measurements to the nearest 1⁄8 in. If measuring on top of molding, the molding must be at least 1 3⁄8 in. wide. If measuring around the molding, please make note of that, and the factory will make necessary adjustments.

Inside Mount

• Measure window width and height in three places (top, middle, and bottom) and record the smallest measurement to thenearest 1⁄8 in.

• Check for window squareness by measuring both diagonalsfrom corner to corner. If the difference between the diagonalsis more than ½ in., an outside mount is recommended.

• Do not make any deductions, allowances or additions.

Outside Mount

If Mounting On Wall without trim, take width and height measurements outside the window opening in three places (top, middle, and bottom), measurements. Ensure that you have at least 2 1⁄4 in of clearance above and on each side of your window opening.

If Mounting On Trim, take width and height measurements from the outside edges of your trim in three places (top, middle, and bottom), and record the largest measurements. You will need at least 2 1⁄4 in of flat trim for the Shutter frame to mount onto.

If Mounting Outside Trim, take width and height measurements from the outside edges of your trim in three places (top, middle, and bottom), and record the largest measurements.

How to Measure By-Pass• Inside mount must have a minimum jamb depth of 2 in.

• Outside mount standard by-pass will project 6 5⁄8 in from the wall.

Only If Divider Rail is Being Used

• The measurement recorded is determined from the bottom of thefloor or sill to the middle of where the divider rail is to be located.

• One divider rail is required for panels over 66 in with a maximum50 in between the middle of the divider rail and either top orbottom rail.

• Two divider rails are required for panels over 90 inches in heightwith a maximum 50 in between any two rails.

Choice of Panel Configuration Determine from pages 5-7.
