Louver Clearance for Your French Door Shutter

The french door shutter is a beautiful way to enhance your space. French doors come with or without molding. If molding is present the shutter may need to be built around it to ensure error free operation. It is usually necessary to provide a build out strip for shutters on French doors, so the louvers will not come into contact with the glass.

Study the diagrams below to find the application that is right for you. We recommend the L-frame as the best frame for french doors because of its appearance, mounting type, and ease of adding build out.

We would love to help you with your shutter project.  Also, check out our online shutter cost calculator for a rough idea of what new shutters might cost.

Good idea to keep the louver away from the glass. That could look a little tacky in my opinion. But worse would be if the louvers broke the glass somehow.
