Deep sills and wide casings
36% of homes are older still (in 1960 or earlier), and older walls are often thicker. A deep opening lets an inside-mounted shutter sit flush with the wall and take the widest 4½ in louvers.
Wide windows split into sections
48% of homes are apartments or condos, where windows are often wide. A wide opening is split into several panels joined by T-posts at the window's own mullions, so the shutter lines up with the glass behind it.
Measure each side three times
With 70% of homes built in 1980 or earlier, openings that have shifted over the years are common. Measure the width at the top, middle and bottom and the height at the left, centre and right, then check both diagonals. If the diagonals differ by more than about ¼ in, a mounting frame covers the difference.

| Needs depth for the louvers | Yes | No | Some |
| Hides an uneven opening | No | Yes | Yes |
| Look | Built in | Framed, like trim | Finished edge all round |
