When fitting DIY plantation shutters on a double glazed UPVC window you need to space the shutter frame away from the handles.
This is done by fitting wooden battens around the window first. These battens act as spacers. This video shows you how to fit the battens before fitting your plantation shutter kit.

I am using 4 x 50mm screws. Sam
