BEADED L FRAME
The Beaded L frame is shaped like an ‘L’ and has a rounded bead running around the outer edge. This makes it perfect to use with a shadow gap as the bead softens the look of the frame within your recess drawing your eye into the shadow. This is the frame we use for our easyfit shutter kit. We use the 60mm frame as it’s stronger and the fixings are set in more from the front and back of the frame. This allows the shadow tape to be inserted further and ensures the fixings are not seen from the outside through the window.
The frame is available in three different sizes, small, medium and large, the most popular size is the medium 60mm frame. The size and type you order will depend on the window style, louvre size, protruding handles and fitting style.
MEASURING – Beaded L frames are measured to edge of the outer frame, everything within this outer frame dimension is calculated by the factory
FIXING – Beaded L Frames do not have any pre-drilled holes, so how you install the frame is up to you. Typically you would fix the frame through the light stop either into the window frame or sideways into the recess. This frame is mainly used for the D1 fixings and shadow gap.
FRAME MITRES – Frames are connected at the corners using interlocking Hoffman keys, we always recommend screwing the mitres on wooden and ABS frames and glueing the mitres on MDF frames. When ordering the easyfit frame kit, the mitres will come pre-drilled for you.
FITTING CLEARANCE – Typically we deduct 12mm from your recess sizes when using the D1 fixings and shadow gap, the final deduction will depend on how square or level the window is.
