Frame installation options.

L Frame vs Z frame or hinged into the reveal you already have - choosing what's best for your DIY shutter installation.
Once the decision is made for blade/louvre size, the colour and how you want your shutters to function, there is also the choice of installation method.
Fitting frames are a great way to install your shutters into your window reveal or if you have no window reveal depth.
L frames can fit into the reveal you already have and sit flush with your architraves (the moulding around a doorway or window). They can also be face fitted to form a "box" on the front of your window to accommodate the shutters when there is no reveal depth at all.
Z frame works a treat for windows that have no architraves as such that are square set and they help create architraves or if extra depth is required to accomodate the shutters they can be fitted with existing architraves.
Both frame types are a great way to hide any discrepancy in your window if it's slightly out of square.
Prefer not to have a frame – no problem. Simply hinging your shutters into the reveal you already have is also a great choice.
