FITTING INSTRUCTIONS

INSIDE WINDOW MOUNTING

Step 1

Position the plantation shutter in the window opening, ensuring that it is completely level.
Mark the required positioning of the frame, ideally the shutter should be mounted inside the window opening, flush with the walls.

Step 2

Remove the shutter panels by taking the pins from the hinges.
Drill through the side of the frame on the inside taking care to position according to where you have marked.
Screw the frame to the wall using the appropriate fixings for the type of wall. The frame must be level so you may have to pack out under the frame if the window and cill are not square.

Step 3

Re-attach the doors to the frame by lining up the hinges and re-inserting the hinge pin.
To close securely both panels must be shut at the same time.
If required seal around the frame with white mastic.
