Should My Miami Home Utilize an Inside Shutter Mount or Outside Shutter Mount?
At your free shutter consultation, you’ll have to decide how your plantation shutters are hung. You could select an inside mount, which sits right inside the window recess. Or you can utilize an outside mount, where your shutter frame is attached outside the window ingress and is hidden by decorative trim.
Many times the option of an inside mount or outside mount is controlled by your window type. But sometimes the option is yours to match your design palatte. So, when should you utilize an inside or an outside mount?
When You Should Use an Inside Mount in Your Miami Home
If your window can handle an inside mount, the choice for this frame style is for the most part cosmetic. However, windows that are less than square may want to stick with with a Z-frame. The overhang on a Z-frame will cover the window’s imperfections. The Z-frame is also nice for windows that have a tilt functionality. L-frames function best when your window currently has decorative trim or you want to keep a conservative look for your window.
When You Should Utilize An Outside Mount in Your Miami Home
If your windows are flat and lack a thick frame, you will have to utilize an outside mount. They also are helpful when you need additional decorative trim surrounding the window to help it pop a little more. Many specialty windows with unusual window frames, like arches or ovals, will need an outside mount, as will shutter treatments for patio and french doors.
