Portsmouth Shutters

The classic look of plantation shutters is perfect for the period homes of our older seacoast towns like Portsmouth, Newburyport, Salem and Portland. The architectural detail and the ability to match any paint color or wood specie, truly makes these window treatments a permanent part of the home.

Stained shutters look wonderful inside white painted openings

We are often asked if shutters need to match the color of the moldings. The answer is a definite no! We have installed stained panels inside white openings many times, and have always been very happy with the outcome. We have also installed white shutters against stained moldings for the same effect.

These shutters are solid mahogany with a rich stain that matches the antique table and chairs in this dining room. We have sample shutter panels in a whole host of woods including maple, cherry, walnut, mahogany, alder, straight grain fir, curly maple, knotty pine and even wormy chestnut.

We met some new clients in a beautiful home in Duxbury, MA yesterday. This is a beautiful home with marsh and river views. Having recently installed new windows, the clients were in need of new window treatments to assure privacy and to control sunlight.

After reviewing the available options, we quickly settled on plantation shutters as the most viable product. 3 1/2″ louver shutters fit the proportions of the window and will allow the client to control the heavy sunlight while maintaining the gorgeous views. Link

These shutters were installed over a standard six foot slider in Hyannis, MA some time ago. We installed the track in such a way, that the sliders could slide to the sides and expose the entire glass door. We finished the valance that covered the track with crown molding and a plate groove so that decorative pieces could be placed on top. Link
