Description
The 12" wide raised panel transom top is a great addition to either louvered or raised panel exterior vinyl shutters. Putting this top on your shutters gives them the appearance of an additional mid rail that optionally can line up with a 9 or 10 inch transom window.
Made from the same fade-resistant vinyl material as Mid-America's exterior shutters, these transom shutter tops are made to last and covered by Mid-America's 40-year transferable product warranty. They are also color-coordinated to match Mid-America exterior vinyl shutters.
This transom top works well with 12" wide vinyl shutters in both custom and standard sizes.
Package Contents
- 2 shutter transom tops
- 4 Shutter-Loks
- 4 joining clips

Important Measurement Information
To obtain the window measurement for rectangular windows, measure from the top of the window to the bottom of the window including the window trim.
When using the 12" raised panel transom top, subtracting 12" from this measurement will give you the size of exterior vinyl shutter to order.
For example, if your window measurement is 60" in height, you will need to order 12" x 48" vinyl exterior shutters to match up with your window.
Remember - measure twice and order once!

This raised panel transom top is only compatible with the following Mid-America products when they are ordered in 12" widths. Use of this product with any other exterior window shutters is not recommended.

Available Colors
NOTE: Please do not rely on the colors that
are displayed on the screen. To get an exact color match, we strongly recommend
ordering a
color sample before placing your
order for external shutter transom tops.
If you would like to paint the shutters, order color #030 Paintable. None of the other Mid-America
colored vinyl shutters are paintable and attempting to do so will void the product warranty.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I remove the Shutter-Loks from the vinyl shutters once they are in place?
Slide a chisel behind the shutter until it comes in contact with the Shutter-Lok. Make sure to keep the sharp edge of the chisel away from the wall. Give the chisel a sharp tap with a hammer and it will cut through the Shutter-Lok. After the shutter is removed, shear the remaining part of the Shutter-Lok flush with the surface and bore out the shank with a drill. Fill the hole with silicone to weatherproof. See our Vinyl Shutter Removal Instructions for additional information. - My exterior wall is uneven. How do I install my exterior vinyl shutters?
You can use ferrules (a short cylindrical pipe) as standoffs to keep your vinyl shutters stable. Simply paint them, trim to size, and mount them behind your exterior shutters. Do not to put wood blocks behind the vinyl exterior shutters because they will rot fairly quickly.
