Occasionally, we find situations where an interior designer would like to use the "double hung" shutter as a functional statement of old world charm.  However, there are some realities to consider as relates to double hung shutters.  These include:
  • Double hung shutters offer the maximum in shutter adjustability, but without the proper design double
  • hung shutters will sag and perform improperly.  
  • Double hung bi-fold shutters must be designed so that the panel height is greater than the panel width due to leverage factor.
  • Shutters ordered with a width dimension more than the height will sag. 
  • Always order double hung shutter with a four sided frame.
  • Three sided frames will not have a frame on the bottom to attach magnets and will need a light block so that there is a mounting place for the magnet.
  • There is a surcharge for double hung shutters.

With any luck the image below will help you visualize how double hung shutter look and function.
