Window shutters in Grapevine

Shutters made to fit the windows in Grapevine's homes: how old they are, how to measure them, and whether to mount inside or outside the opening.

The windows in Grapevine's homes

By age, 1% of Grapevine's homes went up before 1950, 15% between 1950 and 1979, 50% between 1980 and 1999 and 35% in 2000 or later.

Half of them are older than 1993, which is the age of window you're most likely measuring here.

In Euless, 6 miles away, 32% of homes are built before 1980, 16 points more than here.

Wide windows split into sections

42% 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.

Cranks, handles and shallow frames

In the 35% of homes built in 2000 or later, windows are often set close to the room side of the wall, with crank or lever handles. Measure from the glass, or the handle if it sticks out further, to the face of the trim: that depth decides whether you mount inside, outside or on a frame.

How to install

Sun almost overhead in summer

At midday in June the sun stands 81° high here, nearly overhead, so south windows take little direct sun at noon; east and west windows take the most, early and late. Choose louver sizes for those first.
