Should My Phoenix Home Use an Inside Shutter Mount or Outside Shutter Mount?
During your in-home shutter consultation, you’ll have a decision of how your plantation shutters are put in. You could select an inside mount, which sits inside the window recess. Or you can utilize an outside mount, where your shutter frame is attached outside the window ingress and is covered by decorative trim.
Sometimes 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 plan. So, when should you install an inside or an outside mount?
When You Should Install an Inside Mount in Your Phoenix 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 imperfections of the windows. The Z-frame is also great for windows that can be tilted. L-frames perform best if your window already has decorative trim or you want to maintain a moderate look for your window.
When You Should Use An Outside Mount in Your Phoenix Home
If your windows are shallow and lack a deep frame, you will have to utilize an outside mount. They also are nice when you need a piece of decorative trim around the window to make it stand out more more. Many specialty windows with unusual window frames, like arches or ovals, will require an outside mount, as will plantation shutters for french and patio doors.
