Uses of Custom Plantation Shutters

1. Shutters for Windows

There are different ways to use plantation shutters in the home.  They can be used for all types of windows including bow or bay windows.  Regardless of where they are used, interior shutters will allow a beautiful view and privacy at the same time.

Louvers are available in sizes from 2 1/2 inches to 4 1/2 inches.  Most people prefer the wider louver because it makes the shutter view look more open.

2.  Shutters for Doors

Shutters can be used on closet doors and on French doors.  For closet doors, it is best to use a smaller louver in order to block the contents of what is inside the closet.  For French door shutters, a specific design can be utilized where the shutters slide behind each other, or they open outward and hug the adjacent wall.

Advantages of Interior Shutters

Indoor window shutters allow for optimal viewing and air flow control.  Wooden shutters are harder to care for and a bit more expensive than faux shutters or vinyl shutters. With faux or vinyl shutters, they can easily be wiped off.

Plantation shutters also have significant energy benefits.  They allow you to stay cool in the summer months, warm in the winter months, and help to reduce your energy bill all year long.
