Should My Tampa Home Use an Inside Shutter Mount or Outside Shutter Mount?
During your shutter consultation, you’ll have a decision of how your plantation shutters are hung. You could select an inside mount, which sits inside the window recess. Or you can install an outside mount, where your shutter frame is secured outside the window ingress and is covered by decorative trim.
Oftentimes the decision of an inside mount or outside mount is dictated by your window type. But sometimes the option is yours to match your design scheme. So, when should you utilize an inside or an outside mount?
When You Should Use an Inside Mount in Your Tampa Home
If your window can handle an inside mount, the choice for this type of frame is for the most part cosmetic. However, windows that are less than square may want to stay 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 can be tilted. L-frames work best when your window currently has decorative trim or you want to have a moderate look for your window.
When You Should Install An Outside Mount in Your Tampa Home
If your windows are flat and lack a deep frame, you will have to install an outside mount. They also work well when you need additional decorative trim around the window to help it stand out more more. Many unique windows with custom window frames, like arches or ovals, will need an outside mount, as will plantation shutters for french and patio doors.
