Measuring your windows correctly is the first step to perfectly fitting shutters.
Each of our shutter types — LuxFit™, LuxCore™, and LuxWood™ — has its own measurement requirements. Follow the correct guide below for accurate, stress-free ordering.
For a perfect fit, we measure from bead to bead — this ensures your LuxFit™ shutters fit seamlessly without drilling. Follow these simple but important steps:
LuxFit™ Shutters (Easy-Fit No-Drill) can only be installed on windows with PVC frames. They are not compatible with aluminium or timber window frames.
To get precise measurements, prepare the following:
Measure the inside width of the window frame, from bead to bead.
Take three measurements: top, middle, and bottom.
Record the smallest measurement to the nearest millimetre.
Measure the inside height from bead to bead.
Take three measurements: left, middle, and right.
Again, record the smallest value.
This helps determine the right bracket size.
Place a credit card flat against the glass and measure from the glass to the edge of the bead.
Record the bead depth in millimetres.
If your window has a handle, measure from the left bead to the pivot point of the handle.
This ensures we create an accurate rebate.
- Repeat the same measurements for any upper or secondary sections of the window.
- Always use the smallest width and height from your measurements.
- Double-check all figures before placing your order.
Handles, vents, or locks inside the recess can affect installation.
Be sure to include their positioning in your measurements.
LuxCore™ shutters are designed for DIY inside mount installation. For best results, measure the internal recess of your rectangular window carefully.
LuxCore™ is only suitable for standard rectangular windows — not for bay, bow, or shaped openings.
Have these ready before measuring:
Measure the inside recess at the top, middle, and bottom.
Record the smallest width in millimetres.
Measure the inside height at the left, middle, and right.
Record the smallest height.
Use a credit card to measure from the glass to the front edge of the recess.
A minimum of 35-40mm is required.
- Always use the smallest width and height.
- Double-check your measurements before ordering.
- If your window has handles or obstructions, include their position.
LuxWood™ shutters combine real wood with ABS durability. They are installed inside the window recess. Follow these simplified steps for accurate measuring.
Inside mount only — not suitable for bay, bow, or shaped windows.
Gather these before measuring:

Record the smallest height.
Measure from the glass to the front edge using a credit card.
Minimum depth: 35–40mm.
- Use smallest width/height.
