Should My New York Home Use an Inside Shutter Mount or Outside Shutter Mount?
During your free shutter consultation, you’ll have a decision of how your plantation shutters are put in. You could opt for an inside mount, which sits inside the window recess. Or you can use an outside mount, where your shutter frame is affixed outside the window ingress and is obscured by decorative trim.
Oftentimes the decision of an inside mount or outside mount is controlled by your window type. But sometimes the choice is yours to match your design palatte. So, when should you install an inside or an outside mount?
When You Should Use an Inside Mount in Your New York Home
If your window can take an inside mount, the decision for this frame style is mainly cosmetic. However, windows that are less than square may want to stay with with a Z-frame. The overhang on a Z-frame will mask the imperfections of the windows. The Z-frame is also great 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 New York 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 a piece of decorative trim around the window to make it pop a little more. Many unique windows with uncommon window frames, like arches or ovals, will call for an outside mount, as will plantation shutters for patio and french doors.
