Measuring for hang strip mount shutter in wood trimmed window

In this video we'll be discussing how to measure for a hang strip shutter application inside mount on a wood trimmed window. Your first step is to confirm whether the window tilts in for cleaning. As with Z frame, hang strip will definitely obstruct a tilt in window from tilting in. The basic measuring approach is to first measure the window opening width in three places at the top, middle and at the bottom and record the narrowest width as your order width. You would then measure the window opening height in three places at the left, the center and the right and record the shortest measurement as your order height. It's also very important to measure the diagonals because if the diagonal measurements the x measurements vary by more than a quarter inch from one another, it's probably best to specify an outside mount treatment. A window that is out of square to that degree will result in light gaps that would likely be too large for most consumers to find acceptable. As a final note, hang strip is always ordered as a two sided frame configuration.
