Plantation Shutters are among the most popular form of window treatments available today. When quality wood shutters are installed properly, they become an extension to the architecture, adding a timeless beauty that cannot be matched by any other form of window covering. The ease of light and privacy control, low maintenance and investment value are several other reasons for the strong interest in shutters.

Shutters are available in a number of different materials, styles and louver sizes. Shutters can be found in solid vinyl, vinyl coated wood, and various wood species. Traditional or colonial shutters are available with 1 1/4″ louvers to accent historically accurate homes.

Plantation style shutters are the most popular with louvers available in 1 7/8″, 2 1/2″, 3 1/2″, 4 1/2″ and 5 1/2″. The larger louver sizes allow more light to shine through the opening when the louvers are open, giving an almost unobstructed view of the outside.
