Should My Dallas Home Utilize an Inside Shutter Mount or Outside Shutter Mount?
During your in-home shutter consultation, you’ll need 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 use an outside mount, where your shutter frame is secured outside the window ingress and is covered by decorative trim.
Many times the choice of an inside mount or outside mount is dictated by your window type. But sometimes the choice is yours to match your design palatte. So, when should you use an inside or an outside mount?
When You Should Utilize an Inside Mount in Your Dallas Home
If your window can take an inside mount, the decision for this frame option is mostly 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 cover the window’s imperfections. The Z-frame is also wonderful for windows that can be tilted. L-frames function best if your window has decorative trim or you want to maintain a conservative look for your window.
When You Should Install An Outside Mount in Your Dallas Home
If your windows are hollow and lack a firm frame, you will have to use an outside mount. They also work well when you need some decorative trim surrounding the window to make it stand out more more. Many unique windows with unusual window frames, like arches or ovals, will call for an outside mount, as will shutter treatments for patio and french doors.
