Should My Honolulu Home Utilize an Inside Shutter Mount or Outside Shutter Mount?
During your free shutter consultation, you’ll have a decision of how your plantation shutters are put in. You could choose an inside mount, which sits right inside the window recess. Or you can install an outside mount, where your shutter frame is secured outside the window ingress and is obscured by decorative trim.
Oftentimes the option of an inside mount or outside mount is dictated by your window type. But sometimes the option is yours to match your design palatte. So, when should you install an inside or an outside mount?
When You Should Install an Inside Mount in Your Honolulu Home
If your window can use an inside mount, the option for this frame style is mostly cosmetic. However, windows that are less than square may want to use 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 have a tilt functionality. L-frames work best when your window already has decorative trim or you want to maintain a moderate look for your window.
When You Should Install An Outside Mount in Your Honolulu Home
If your windows are shallow and lack a thick frame, you will have to use an outside mount. They also are nice when you need some decorative trim around the window to make it pop a little more. Many specialty windows with unusual window frames, like arches or ovals, will require an outside mount, and also shutter treatments for french and patio doors.
