Should My Bakersfield Home Use an Inside Shutter Mount or Outside Shutter Mount?
During your in-home shutter consultation, you’ll need to decide how your plantation shutters are installed. You could select an inside mount, which sits just inside the window recess. Or you can use an outside mount, where your shutter frame is secured outside the window ingress and is obscured by decorative trim.
Oftentimes the decision of an inside mount or outside mount is determined by your window type. But sometimes the decision is yours to match your design scheme. So, when should you use an inside or an outside mount?
When You Should Use an Inside Mount in Your Bakersfield Home
If your window can handle an inside mount, the decision for this type of frame is mainly cosmetic. However, windows that don’t have fairly square corners 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 great for windows that can be tilted. L-frames work best when your window has decorative trim or you want to keep a moderate look for your window.
When You Should Utilize An Outside Mount in Your Bakersfield Home
If your windows are flat and lack a deep frame, you will have to use an outside mount. They also when you need some decorative trim around the window to help it stand out more more. Many unique windows with custom window frames, like ovals or arches, will need an outside mount, as will shutter treatments for patio and french doors.
