What is an L Frame Plantation Shutter?

An L frame has a clean, right-angle profile that surrounds and supports the shutter panels. Depending on the window, it can be installed within the reveal or used as part of a face-fit installation.

L frames are commonly considered when:

  • The window opening is reasonably square
  • Existing architraves should remain visible
  • A minimal frame profile is preferred
  • The reveal has limited available space
  • A face-fit solution is required
  • Corner or bay window sections need careful framing

The correct frame depth and position depend on the window hardware, reveal and panel clearance.

Why Choose an L Frame?

L frame shutters provide:

  • A clean and understated appearance
  • Flexible fitting options
  • Easy access to adjustable louvres
  • Custom panel configurations
  • Controlled privacy, light and airflow
  • A made-to-measure finish

Our team will also check whether the selected frame allows the panels to open without contacting handles, winders, walls or furniture.
