Abstract

A shutter assembly is provided which includes a body portion and separate top and bottom caps. The length of the shutter is adjusted by sliding the caps so they cover more or less of the shutter body. The caps and body portion are then screwed to a building wall. The inside surfaces of the caps include grooves which mate with the outside surface of the sides of the shutter body. This keeps the caps aligned with the shutter body as the length is adjusted.
