What is the difference 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?

Drapes can be paired with blackout liners for better light-blocking capabilities.

Shutters offer a classic look with a clean and structured appearance to windows.
