Stylize Your Shutters with Options like Craftsman Shutter Frames in Cincinnati

June 26, 2017

It doesn’t happen often, but we’ve heard a Cincinnati homeowner or two claim that “all shutters look the same.” Let’s eliminate any misconception – those claims couldn’t be further from reality.

Many people aren’t aware of the number of options you have when it comes to choosing plantation shutters in Cincinnati, and the impact those options can have. Possibly chief among those options is the style of shutter frame you pick.

Cincinnati Custom Shutter Frames

Your options for shutter frames will depend a few different things:

  • How your window opens and shuts.

  • The depth of the window sill.

  • Whether you need to have an inside or outside mount.

  • Your own personal taste.

A few of our shutter frames are offered only in certain materials, such as our Polywood® faux wood shutters, a few are exclusive to an inside or outside mount of a window, and some will be a better match for your existing trim, like our Craftsman frame shutters, built for Craftsman style homes and only offered by Sunburst.

Here are some of our most popular shutter frames among Cincinnati homeowners.

Craftsman Frame Shutters - You can’t watch House Hunters for more than 5 minutes without seeing Craftsman design. This Sunburst-exclusive frame was built especially for Craftsman style houses and homes that utilize Craftsman elements. A Craftsman frame offers a clean and simple look, so no part of your home looks out of place compared to the rest. If getting back to your Craftsman roots is your desire, this is the frame for you. Currently offered in Polywood and reclaimed wood shutters only.

L-Frame Shutters - An L-frame is possibly the simplest and most functional frame we offer. They have a smooth, contemporary look, and tend to be the easiest to work around for specialty windows. The L-frame can function as both an outside and inside mount, in case you want to keep your existing window trim, and is offered in every single one of our shutters.

Z-Frame Shutters - Z-frames are a widely-chosen style because they give you a stylish, sophisticated look on your window, much like bass or crown molding. The name “Z-frame” comes from the shape of its exterior, which is installed on an inside mount of a window jamb, but hugs the jamb and extends to the outside creating a “Z” figure. That wraparound shape makes it so you don’t even need window trim around the window. Z-frames are available in every single one of our shutters.

Decorative Frame Shutters - A decorative frame is all about style. With lots of texture and an eye-catching shape, this frame works best for windows without any trim, or if you want to cover your existing trim. Decorative frames are offered in Ovation and Polywood shutters only.
