Ergun Aral shows how to measure for an outside-mounted L-frame shutter on a bullnose-edged drywall window. Position a sample frame past the curved edge so its base sits flat, mark the outside edges, then measure mark-to-mark for width and height. Factory tolerance is ±1/16" and you'll order it as a four-sided frame with no sill.

In this video we'll be discussing how to measure for an L frame shutter application outside mount on a drywall wrapped window that has bull nosed edging as a best practice measuring technique, we recommend you take a sample piece of L frame and place it on the wall beyond the curved edging so that the base of the L frame rests fully on flat wall. Make a mark on the outside of the frame as your measure reference point. Do the same on the other side of the window. Your order width will be your mark to mark measurement. Do the same to determine the order height. These measurements are essentially outside of frame on one side to outside of frame on the other side. This is referred to as a frame to frame measurement. When specifying L frame, the factory makes no deductions off your frame to frame order size. Your final assembled unit will measure exactly to your frame to frame measurement plus or minus a sixteenth of an inch. As a final note, this application would be ordered as a four sided frame configuration. Since this window has no windowsill.
