Plantation Shutters

Plantation Shutters are purchased in the number of panels you need, so they have a wide range of prices.
The most economical shutters are called slats or louvers, which are created from wooden slats that span vertically and horizontally. The second option is fabric roller or verticals, which allow adaption for window width while still giving the appearance of plantation style shutters. Lastly there is bay and bow windows coverage where information should be provided on your specific questions about pricing to describe this offer in detail.

While plantation shutters do not cut the amount of light coming into a room completely, they can significantly reduce glare and keep it cool. This is because their natural material is made from louvers that allow air to flow through, keeping unwanted heat out. They also hold up to strong winds and they don’t collect dust as most window coverings do. The shape of the slats also plays a major role in blocking water damage due to sunlight penetrating your windows edge-to-edge! Some people worry about the safety of having these shutters considering children may play near them and whatnot; but unlike blinds with cords that pose as hang-ups for little hands and feet, plantation blinds are backed by cordless design.

Yes, they darken the room. Plantation shutters capture light through many layers of thin material (1-2mm) instead of blocking it via one spacious curtain (ranging 1-5 inches). This delicate filtering process filters out high-energy spectrum waves while allowing low-energy wavelengths to pass through. The rich complemental colors created by the shutter’s screen mesh are key to the advantages of plantation shutters for home decorating.

One of the great things about plantation shutters is that while they can be hard to keep clean, there are many simple steps you can take to extend the lifespan of your windows while also making them easier to clean.

If you don’t already have specialized manilla cleaning solution, then get yourself some window cleaner that has ammonia in it. You’ll notice that this cleans up easily and leaves no marks afterward (this includes fingerprints). For extra protection against dirt buildup, if possible spray down your plantation shutters every night after rain or before the rain. This helps prevent any substances from sticking near the blades of the shutter or clinging to any edges if anything did get through.

Yes! They provide natural light, reduce the need for cooling and heating, don’t require excessive cleaning, are durable, can be opened up completely or halfway for ventilation without fear of bugs coming in.

They are typically made from pine boards on the interior with slats that get doubled so they have a thick construction – meaning there are two boards thick bordering the slat. These shutters also have an air seal which prevents air leakage. The exterior of these shutters is available in either plantation stiles (rectangular) or louvered panels- single-panel windows called “toggle cliker” generally have louvered shutter panels on them too.
