(See Technical Information for complete chart) EXAMPLE: A shutter With 84″ Rails:ģ2mm PVC Slat requires a 7″ box for this heightĤ0mm Roll-Formed Aluminum Slat requires a 8″ box for this heightĥ2mm PVC slat requires a 10″ square or 10.25″ taper box coverĥ5mm Roll-Formed Aluminum Slat requires a 10″ square box cover A smaller slat will require a smaller box cover. The type and size of the slat – The different sizes and types of slat available require varying amounts of room to roll up.The height of the rails – A taller shutter will require a larger box cover to contain the greater number of slat required.The size of the box cover depends on two things. Contact the factory if you have questions.Īvailable Height Above The Rail for the Shutter Box ?.Build out the window edge with 1″ X 2″ wood boards in order to make the mounting surface even.Does the area above the window project outward?.Add an extra 1.5″ onto the rail height to insure proper window clearance in order to open the window.Is it a casement window that opens like a door?.Contact the factory for other suggestions or measuring tips.Install the shutter box into the soffit.Choose a style of shutter with a smaller slat to make the box smaller.Lower the shutter box (this may require a back cover on the box.How much space is there above the window up to the soffit? When the area above the window is limited you can do one of four things.The top end of the rail should extend to the top of the window trim or brick mold. Sill angle is available in 1″ X 1.25″ or 1.5″ X 2″ sizes. If the sill of the window needs an extension, request a sill angle with the order. The bottom of the rail starts on the sill of the window or the deck in the caseof a patio door. The 5 basic areas that are of particular concern when measuring are: Width Outside of Rails and/or Between Rails ?īe sure to tell the factory which way you measured. An incorrectly measured opening can be very costly.Īlways state actual measurements in inches to the nearest 1/8th inch. Measurements must be made with care and accuracy. Measuring windows for Wheatbelt Rolling Shutters is very important.
