Made-to-measure shutters involve production and scheduling
Following the final measuring appointment, the design and specifications are confirmed. Production, quality control, transport and installation planning then follow.
Complexity affects the lead time
Special shapes, non-standard colours, large projects and made-to-measure profiles may require more preparation than a standard window.
Scheduling is agreed in advance
The expected lead time is discussed when preparing the quote, and installation is scheduled once the order is ready.
Short answer
The essentials at a glance
A well-organised ordering process confirms every choice before production: dimensions, collection, colour, louvre size, operation, panel layout, price, schedule and installation.
Practical: Before production, have all choices recorded in writing: dimensions, collection, colour, operation, panel layout, price, schedule and installation.
The choices that make the difference
Four points to assess before requesting a quotation
Orientation and advice
Start with how the shutters will be used, the window type and the desired look before choosing a specification.
Professional measuring
Every window is checked individually and technically specified.
Clear confirmation
The quotation, options, payment, lead time and exceptions are agreed in advance.
Installation and handover
Following quality control, the shutters are installed, adjusted and explained.
Avoid disappointment
Common mistakes when buying shutters
- Ordering based on approximate measurements
- Not confirming options in writing
- Confusing the lead time with a guaranteed fixed date
From idea to installation
How a carefully managed made-to-measure process works
- Collect photos and approximate measurements of the windows.
- Compare material, colour, louvre size and operation.
- Have every window professionally measured at multiple points.
- Confirm the panel layout, technical details, price and schedule.
- Have your shutters installed, adjusted and explained to you.

Frequently asked questions
Is the same solution suitable for every window or room?
No. Production, scheduling and factors that affect lead times. The window type, dimensions, installation position, material load and daily use are assessed for each situation.
What does DeVo check during the professional site survey?
We take measurements at multiple points and check the frame, reveal, handles, opening direction, windowsill, available panel clearance, and the desired louvre and panel configuration, among other details.
How do louvre size and panel configuration affect the result?
They determine how many lines you see, how open the view through is and how practically the panels can open. The proportions in relation to the window matter more than one standard size.
Can I compare materials, colours and operating options first?
Yes. During your consultation and in the Oud-Turnhout showroom, you can compare current collections, colour samples, louvre sizes and operating options side by side.
Are measuring and installation included in the process?
Yes. DeVo guides the project from advice and technical measuring through to made-to-measure production, installation, adjustment and guidance on use and care.
