Frame assembly and placement
Frames are dry-fitted, assembled, shimmed, and fastened while preserving consistent reveals.
Panel alignment
Hinge adjustment, panel sequence, and frame squareness affect gaps and closure.
Finishing
Light gaps may be addressed with frame design, caulk, or trim when appropriate, without preventing future service.
Doors and wide openings
Bypass and bifold systems require track level, floor clearance, guides, and traffic planning.
Professional checklist
- Verify panel and frame labels
- Protect finished surfaces
- Check window operation before fastening
- Align reveals and magnets
- Test every louver and panel
- Review care and tension adjustments
Common questions
Can shutters be installed on out-of-square windows?
Often, but frame selection and shimming are important.
Should shutters be caulked completely to the wall?
Only where appropriate and without hiding service points or creating an unprofessional finish.
Why does a shutter panel swing open?
Frame level, hinge alignment, magnets, or panel balance may require adjustment.
