Should My Sacramento Home Install an Inside Shutter Mount or Outside Shutter Mount?
At your in-home shutter consultation, you’ll have to decide how your plantation shutters are put in. You could opt for 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 determined by your window type. But sometimes the option is yours to match your design plan. So, when should you use an inside or an outside mount?
When You Should Use an Inside Mount in Your Sacramento Home
If your window can handle an inside mount, the option for this frame option is for the most part cosmetic. However, windows that don’t have fairly square corners may want to use with a Z-frame. The overhang on a Z-frame will hide the window’s imperfections. The Z-frame is also nice for windows that can be tilted. L-frames perform best when your window currently has decorative trim or you want to keep a moderate look for your window.
When You Should Utilize An Outside Mount in Your Sacramento Home
If your windows are hollow and lack a firm frame, you will have to utilize an outside mount. They also are nice when you need additional decorative trim surrounding the window to make it stand out more more. Many unique windows with uncommon window frames, like arches or ovals, will require an outside mount, as will plantation shutters for french and patio doors.
