Plantation Shutters - Mounting Options
If you are considering having custom plantation shutters installed in your home, one of the options you’ll want to consider is how the shutters will be mounted to your windows. Most plantation shutters are custom made and can be mounted to your window a number of ways. Generally, though, there are two choices: Inside mount on hanging strips and outside mount to frames. Shutter panels are typically not attached directly to a window with hinges but are instead attached to either hanging strips or frames. Both provide a surface for the shutter panels to mount to and both block light gaps, preventing direct sunlight from escaping around the edges of panels. However, frame mounting usually provides a more finished appearance. Frames have become the most popular option for mounting shutters.
