Shutters Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between plantation shutters and regular shutters?

There are a few key differences between plantation shutters and regular shutters. Design: plantation shutters have wider louvers (or slats) that can be tilted or adjusted for light control and privacy. Regular shutters have narrower slats and usually have a solid panel construction. Louver Size: the louvers on plantation shutters range from 2.5 to 4.5 inches in width while regular shutters measure around 1.25 to 2.5 inches. Installation: plantation shutters are usually mounted inside the window frame covering the entire window opening. Regular shutters can be installed both inside and outside the window frame.

How do plantation shutters differ from other types of window treatments?

Plantation shutters differ in several ways! Design: plantation shutters have a distinct design characterized by wide louvers bringing a classic look to any room. In comparison, window treatments like blinds, shades, or curtains have narrower slats, fabric panels, or a completely different style. Construction: plantation shutters are manufactured using high-quality wood materials with the ability to withstand regular use and exposure to sunlight. Blinds and shades often are made of fabric or thin materials and are prone to wear and tear. Maintenance: Plantation shutters require minimal maintenance unlike fabric curtains or shades that require regular washing or replacement. Shutters can cleaned with a damp cloth or a duster. .

Which is better drapes or shutters?

The choice between drapes and shutters depends on personal preferences and the specific needs of the space. Each option has its own advantages and considerations. Light Control: shutters provide excellent light control; the adjustable slats allow you to easily regulate the amount of light that will enter a room. Drapes can be paired with blackout liners for better light-blocking capabilities. Style: drapes are known for their softness and ability to add “sophistication” to a room but can also create a heavy feeling. Shutters offer a classic look with a clean and structured appearance to windows. Maintenance: shutters are easier to clean than drapes and can be wiped down with a cloth or duster, while drapes require washing or dry cleaning. Again, it depends on the personal style of your home and own preferences which window treatment option to go with.
