Where Should Shutters Be Placed on a House?

Plantation shutters have been around for centuries. And they’re still one of the most popular window furnishings. There’s a perception that they are expensive but when compared to other window treatment solutions, the added benefits more than justify the added cost. 

Plantation shutters, while easy to install is a job best left to the professionals. Especially if you don’t have any experience. Shutters can be installed inside or outside the window frame. However, the closer to the window, the better insulation it will offer. 

In addition to being able to mount shutters outside the window opening, you can also mount them inside. To determine which option is best for you, consider whether there is moulding around your window opening. When shutters are mounted inside, they are attached directly to the window frame with hinges or wooden shutter frames. This is sometimes known as an “L” frame. It is recommended that you mount your shutters outside if you don’t have decorative moulding around your window.
