Create a clean, professionally finished window with custom Z frame plantation shutters. The overlapping frame edge helps cover small gaps around the window reveal while giving your shutters a neat, built-in appearance.
A Z frame is installed inside a suitable window reveal. Its front lip overlaps the edge of the opening, helping conceal small gaps and minor variations in the window.

We then recommend a Z frame, L frame or face-fit solution based on how your window is built.
A Z frame is a recess-fit shutter frame with a front lip that overlaps the edge of the window opening. It provides a defined finish and can help conceal small gaps around the reveal.

Yes. The frame and shutter panels can be designed in PVC or timber, subject to the dimensions and requirements of the window.
No. We supply PVC and timber plantation shutters, not aluminium shutters. Our PVC shutters may contain concealed aluminium reinforcement for stability.
The timeframe depends on the material, finish and configuration. Eligible locally made white PVC options may be installed in approximately two weeks after specifications are confirmed, subject to conditions.
