Plantation Shutter Frame Options

L Frame - Recess Fit

The small L Frame can be used as a recess fit or fitted to a wall or architrave and used as a face mounted frame. The L Frame provides a clean look by allowing the slim, squared frame by only having a 25mm wide frame. With a recessed L frame, you need to consider the type of window frame the plantation shutters will be sitting inside. A lot of windows aren't square, so for an L frame recess fit shutter, caulking will be necessary.

L Frame - Face Fit

The Face Fit L Frame is a versatile option suitable for many window applications. It’s most commonly chosen when there is limited space between the front edge of the window frame and the glass. If this distance is less than 65mm, a Face Fit L Frame is the ideal solution.

This frame style is also recommended when the window frame is significantly out of square, as it allows for better alignment and coverage.

If your architrave width exceeds 70mm, a medium L Frame must be used. A small L Frame is not suitable in this case, as the louvres would come into contact with the architrave when opened.

Z Frame

Great for the out of square window frame. The Z Frame contains edges to cover gaps of up to 10mm the shutter to the space it's sitting in.

Z Framewith Sill

If your recess fit plantation shutter sits within an out of square space, though has an extended window sill, then the Z Frame with Sill is the perfect option. Gain the benefit of hiding your uneven space with the Z 'wings' of the frame and have a flat bottom edge of your shutter frame sitting on your existing sill.
