Everything You Need to Know About Perfect Fit Shutters | 247 Blog

Perfect Fit© Shutters offer a great alternative to classic plantation style shutters, with a speedy installation process and more flexibility in the types of windows they're suitable for. No drills, screws, or tools are required to fit these stylish shutters, they simply clip into small brackets which fit between the glass and rubber beading of your uPVC windows, for a flawless finish.

Our Perfect Fit© Shutters are made for use with uPVC windows and doors. This is because they require rubber beading to secure the brackets into place, making the installation process drill-free! 

The easiest way to find out if your windows are suitable for Perfect Fit© Shutters is by sliding a butter knife into the rubber gasket surrounding your uPVC windows as far as it will go, and marking the distance the blade travels under the gasket. If this distance is at least 16mm, your window beading is suitable to hold the brackets.

You'll also want to measure your window frame depth (also known as bead depth), this is the distance between the glass and the edge of the window frame; if the distance is between 20-24mm, you're good to go! An in-depth measuring guide for Perfect Fit© Shutters is available here.

One of the main benefits of opting for a Perfect Fit© Shutter over a regular shutter is that you don't need any power tools or specialist equipment to fit and install them. This makes them fab for rental properties, as they won't leave unsightly holes around the window recess once removed.

Perfect Fit© Shutters are compatible with most uPVC windows, providing they have compatible beading to support them. They're an ideal solution for French doors and patio doors due to their design making it easy to open and close your doors whilst still maintaining coverage of the glass.

Perfect Fit© Shutters don't require drills or screws to fit, instead they use your window beading as an anchor. This means they won't damage the wall, unlike traditional blinds and fitting methods.

Do keep in mind that as Perfect Fit© Shutters utilise your window's beading, it's important your window is suitable with sufficient beading to support the shutters to avoid any damage. The best way to check is by using our measuring guide!

Perfect Fit© Shutters are made of waterproof PolySilk Vinyl, making them a great alternative to traditional wooden shutters which may warp or crack in wet environments. Out of all our Perfect Fit© blind types, Perfect Fit© Shutters are the best drill-free option for use in moisture-rich environments.

Perfect Fit© Shutters come pre-assembled with a tilt rod installed on the side of your choosing. To open the slats of the shutters, simply raise or lower the tilt rod to the required location for your desired light and privacy level!

Because of their durable and waterproof material, Perfect Fit© Shutters are a breeze to clean compared to traditional shutters or soft cloth blinds. Using a warm damp cloth, wipe away any marks or stains. For a deeper clean, a wet toothbrush can be used to gently scrub away any stubborn marks. To clean your windows after installing Perfect Fit© Shutters, simply unclip the blinds then clip back into place when done, it's that simple!
