Plantation shutters can be installed in a variety of ways depending on the type of window, the materials of the shutters, and your personal preference. Here are some common installation techniques for plantation shutters:
1. Inside mount:
With an inside mount installation, the shutters are mounted inside the window frame. This technique is popular because it allows for a clean and streamlined look, as the shutters blend in seamlessly with the window. However, the inside mount requires precise measurements to ensure a proper fit, and caulking is always last step to fill gaps and give you nice and clean finish.
2. Outside mount:
With an outside mount installation, the shutters are mounted outside the window frame. This technique is popular because it allows for a clean and streamlined look, as the shutters blend in seamlessly with the window. However, the inside mount requires precise measurements to ensure a proper fit, and caulking is always last step to fill gaps and give you nice and clean finish.
Z-frame
The Z-frame installation is a type of inside mount that uses a frame to cover the gap between the window frame and the shutters. This installation technique is popular because it provides a finished look and conceals the gaps between the window frame and shutters. No caulking is required with any Z frame installation.
L frame
The L-frame installation is similar to the Z-frame, but instead of a frame that covers the gaps between the window frame and shutters, the L-frame is installed around the outside edges of the shutters. This technique is ideal for a clean and minimalist look, but caulking is always required to fill the tiny gaps between shutters frame and window recess areas.
