Not sure which configuration suits your space? Here’s a quick guide to help.
Bi-fold panels fold concertina-style to one or both sides of the opening, making them ideal for wider windows, sliding doors and room dividers. They allow you to completely open the space when you want an unobstructed view or access.
Hinged panels are the most popular option and work beautifully on most windows. Panels are hinged to a frame and swing open like a door, giving you full flexibility to open them wide or angle the louvres for partial light and privacy.
Sliding panels glide along a track system and are particularly well-suited to large sliding door openings. They’re effortless to operate and create less intrusion into the room than bi-fold panels when open.
Fixed panels are mounted in position – the louvres open and close, but the panels themselves don’t move. A great option for feature windows where ventilation is needed but movement isn’t.
Shaped shutters can be manufactured to fit arched, raked, angled and other non-rectangular openings, a beautiful custom option for feature windows and unique architectural details.
Choosing the right frame helps ensure your plantation shutters look great and operate smoothly. The best option will depend on your window style, the opening and whether your shutters are installed inside or outside the reveal.
L-Frames are the most common choice for most reveal (in-recess) and face-fit installations. They provide a neat, clean finish and are particularly effective when window openings are slightly uneven, helping create a square and professional-looking result.
Z-Frames are designed to sit neatly around the edge of the window opening. They are often used where there is no architrave or where the reveal is noticeably out of square. Z-Frames also help minimise light gaps around the edges, creating a more streamlined appearance and improved light control.
