Stylize Your Shutters with Options like Craftsman Shutter Frames in Houston

June 26, 2017

A misconception we hear occasionally from Houston homeowners is that “all shutters look the same.” Let’s get rid of any confusion – that couldn’t be further from the truth.

Most people don’t know the number of options you have when it comes to custom plantation shutters in Houston, and the impact those options may have. Possibly chief among those options is the frame style you choose for your shutters.

Houston Custom Shutter Frames

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

  • How your window opens and shuts.

  • The depth of the window jamb.

  • Whether you’ll have an outside mount or inside mount.

  • Your own personal style.

A few of our shutter frames are only available in certain materials, such as our Polywood® faux wood shutters, some are only able to work on 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, ideal for Craftsman style homes and offered exclusively by Sunburst.

Let’s take a look at some of our most popular shutter frames among Houston homeowners.

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

Craftsman Frame Shutters - You can’t watch House Hunters for more than 5 minutes without seeing Craftsman design. This Sunburst-exclusive frame was created specifically for Craftsman style houses and similar designs. A Craftsman frame offers 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 simplest and most practical type of shutter frame. They have a sleek, modern look, and are typically the easiest to work around for specialty windows. The L-frame can work as both an outside and inside mount, if you’d like to keep your existing window trim, and is available in every single one of our shutters.

Z-Frame Shutters - Z-frames are a widely-chosen style because they offer a stylish, sophisticated look on your window, not unlike crown or bass 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 in a “Z” figure. That wraparound shape allows it to substitute for window trim if your windows don’t have any existing trim. Z-frames are available in for all of our shutter products.

Decorative Frame Shutters - A decorative frame definitely lives up to its name. With stylish texture and an attention-grabbing shape, this frame looks fantastic for windows that don’t have any trim, or if you want to cover your existing trim. Decorative frames are offered in Ovation and Polywood shutters only.
