Custom Fitted Shutters Eliminate Gaps and Hazards

Standard one-size-fits-all shutters often have uneven gaps around their perimeter, posing risks like pinched fingers, impacted limbs, and loosening over time. Custom fitted shutters engineered to match windows’ precise dimensions eliminate these hazardous gaps for safer functionality.

Gaps invite problems. But professional customization tailors an exact fit between shutters and adjacent frames to optimize coverage and security. Let’s examine custom fitted shutters and the safety benefits of a flawless frame match.

Dangers of Ill-Fitting Gaps

Imperfect fits between shutters and nearby surfaces create risks:

• Narrow finger clearance gaps leading to pinching injuries
• Light leaks causing glare and reducing privacy effectiveness
• Excess space allowing moisture and air infiltration
• Poorly aligned covers enabling escapable exits
• Insufficient contact area straining mounts over time

Meticulous custom-fitting solves these gaps and associated hazards.

Precise Sizing and Shaping

Custom-made shutters match the nuances of your windows’ dimensions exactly:

• Milimeter-perfect width, height and contoured edges
• Louvers sized to fully cover glass when closed
• No extra wiggle room along perimeter edges
• Multi-panel assemblies joining seamlessly together

Smooth Operation

A flawless fit allows shutters to open, close, slide, tilt and rotate smoothly without:

• Scraping or catching on nearby window and door frames
• Bending out of shape due to tight clearances
• Wearing down louver pivot points through friction
• Hardware loosening from uneven forces over time

Enhanced Privacy and Insulation

With no light or air gaps, custom fitted shutters maximize:

• Blackout darkness when louvers fully closed
• Draft blocking through complete weather seals
• Noise buffering without sound leakage
• Climate control based on deliberate louver angles

Conclusion

Engineered custom fitted shutters eliminate uneven gaps that compromise kids’ safety, light control, insulation and mounting durability.
