The Z Deco Frame

What is a Z Frame?

A Z-Frame is named after the Z-shaped structure of the frame and is specifically designed for an inside mount. It is only available in the Painted Wood and Stained Wood shutters.

“Inside Mount” means the shutter is mounted within the window frame, as opposed to outside it, creating a streamlined look.

Not all windows are suitable for the Z Deco Frame. Due to the nature of the frame, there must be no obstruction surrounding the window edges. This “obstruction” is typically molding/trim, tile, a door or another window (a window sill is okay). There must also be sufficient window depth for the frame to be mounted. 

The minimum depth requirements for a hidden tilt shutter are found below:
