We will drill then drive four Tapcon masonry screws; two in the lower and two on the upper style section of each shutter on brick or stonewalls.

To complete the installation we follow by nailing on the top and lower rails with finish nails, following with paint touch up.

Add Touch-Up Paint. Louvered window shutters are constructed with overlapping uniform slats of wood set into a frame. They remain popular for many styles of architecture. Choose an eye-popping paint color to set them off against a white saltbox-style home, or simply stain them if you prefer a natural look.
In most cases, the height of decorative shutter that is most appropriate is from the top to the bottom of the window trim. The 64mm and 76mm slats are perfect for reducing the flow of light. Choosing one of the smaller sizes means that there will be more shutter slats within the panels, which in turn, will allow slightly less light into a room. A good rule of thumb that we advise to customers is that if you install shutters in one window within a room, you should consider using them in every window of THAT room.
Building Board and Batten Shutters Go ahead and cut all of your boards to length on a miter saw, and then make any rips that you need to accommodate the width of your window. Each batten will run diagonally across the boards and should be just shy of the width of your shutter.
