What Are Plantation Shutters?

Plantation shutters are among the most popular types of shutters in the United States currently. They are increasingly being used to replace traditional blinds and curtains in all areas of the home. The identifying feature of plantation shutters is their tilted wooden louvers. Their name comes from the southern states where these shutters were commonplace because of their ability to help keep a home cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

They mimic the look of blinds but instead of operating with a pull-string, they open and close like doors. Shutters are also fitted to the window frame, providing maximum coverage. Plantation shutters are typically made from wood but can be crafted from plastic and insulite. Having custom shutters created for your windows means that they will fit your windows precisely, be the color you want, and help regulate the temperature of your home.
