Window or Opening Inside Measurements
|
Measuring your opening as follows:
For full height shutters: Measure A (width) at the top, middle and bottom of the opening Measure B (Height) at the left, middle and right side of the opening For Cafe Style height shutters: Measure A as above and C as above For Tier over Tier style measure: Measure A as above, C as above and D as above For Wall mounted Shutters with L- or Z trim at the perimeter: Measure the outside of the casing (if present) or the opening dimensions if no casing present. And Measurement B to the top of the sill if present. |
Calculating the "cost per square foot" price for shutters !
A-I = Height dimension on an inside measurement
A-O = Height dimension on an outside measurement
B-I = Width dimension on an inside measurement
B-O = Width dimension on an outside measurement
Note: The heavy frame represents a window or opening casing or trim.
Calculating an approximate cost per square foot!

Formula for Pricing Length x width x 144=Square foot area (30 x 48=1440 sq.inch) Sq. foot area x Cost / Sq. foot = Approximate cost of the shutter panels (1440 sq. in divided by 144 = 10 x $15.00= $150.00) Pricing does not include perimeter trim if required or shipping to your door. When ordering or requesting a quote, include the opening dimensions, the quantities of opening. Also, if inside dimensions or outside requiring a wall mounted perimeter trim (L-molding or Z-molding). Always include your Zip Code for shipping costs. |
Example is as follows:
You have an opening or window that you have the width and length dimensions of 30" wide x 48" high and you are installing shutter panels directly to the surface of the opening jamb or inside wall. To achieve a square foot area, just take the width in inches and multiply by the length (30" x 48" =1440 square inches. Every square foot has 144 square inches. Take the total square inches divided by the 144 will equal the actual total square foot. (1440 / 144=10 sq. ft.) If fractional, round up to the next 1/2 square foot for price estimating. (Cost per sq. ft. is $15.00, there are 10 sq. ft. of area in the opening so: $15.00 x 10 = $150.00 for the shutters for that opening.
