Stylize Your Shutters with Options like Craftsman Shutter Frames in New York

June 26, 2017

It doesn’t happen often, but we’ve heard a New York homeowner or two claim that “all shutters look the same.” Let’s get rid of any confusion – those claims couldn’t be further from reality.

Many people don’t realize the number of options there are when it comes to shopping for plantation shutters in New York, and what kind of impact those options can have. One of the most important of those options is the frame style you choose for your shutters.

New York Custom Shutter Frames

The options available to you for shutter frames will depend on four things primarily:

  • How your window operates.

  • The depth of the window sill.

  • Whether you need to have an inside or outside mount.

  • Your own personal style.

Some of our shutter frames are offered only in certain materials, like our Polywood® faux wood shutters, a few are only available with an inside or outside mount of a window, and some might just look better than others with your existing trim, like our Craftsman frame shutters, built for Craftsman style homes and only offered by Sunburst.

Here are some of our most popular shutter frames among New York homeowners.

 
Craftsman frame  Outside mounted L frame  Z frame for shutters  Decorative casing frame

Craftsman Frame Shutters - You can’t open a Better Homes and Gardens without seeing Craftsman style. This Sunburst-exclusive frame was created specifically for Craftsman style homes and homes that utilize Craftsman elements. A Craftsman frame gives you a clean and simple look, so no part of your home looks “overdesigned” compared to the rest. If utilizing Craftsman fashion is your desire, this is the frame for you. Currently available in Polywood and reclaimed wood shutters only.

L-Frame Shutters - An L-frame is possibly the least complex and most functional frame style. They have a smooth, modern look, and are usually the easiest to work around if your window has a peculiar size or shape. The L-frame can be used as either an inside or outside mount, in case you want to keep your existing window trim, and is available in Polywood® faux wood shutters, Ovation® hardwood shutters, reclaimed wood shutters and Studio™ shutters.

Z-Frame Shutters - Z-frames are a widely-chosen style because they offer a stylish, classy look on your window, similar to bass or crown molding. It gets the name “Z-frame” due to the shape of its exterior, which is mounted on the inside of the window jamb, but hugs the jamb and extends to the outside creating a “Z” figure. That extended shape makes it so you don’t even need window trim around the window. Z-frames are available in for all of our shutter products.

Decorative Frame Shutters - A decorative frame definitely lives up to its name. With extensive texturing and an elegant shape, this frame is best used when you have no existing window trim, or if you want to cover your existing trim. Decorative frames are offered in Ovation and Polywood shutters only.
