Frequently Asked Questions
Learn more about custom shutters
Plantation shutters come in various styles and materials, each offering unique benefits and aesthetic appeal. Here are some common types:
Wooden Plantation Shutters: These are classic and timeless, providing a warm and natural look to any space. They are available in various wood types such as basswood, cedar, and hardwoods like oak or maple.
Vinyl Plantation Shutters: Known for their durability and moisture resistance, vinyl shutters are ideal for high-humidity areas like bathrooms or kitchens. They are easy to clean and maintain and come in a range of colors and finishes.
Composite Plantation Shutters: Made from a blend of wood composite materials and PVC, composite shutters offer the look of real wood with added durability and resistance to warping, cracking, and fading.
Plantation shutter louvers typically come in a range of standard sizes, though custom sizes can often be accommodated by manufacturers. The most common standard sizes for plantation shutter louvers are:
2.5 inches (63.5 mm): This size is a popular choice for plantation shutters, offering a balance between allowing in ample light and providing privacy when closed.
3.5 inches (88.9 mm): Larger louvers provide a more unobstructed view when open and allow for more light to enter the room. They also create a more contemporary look.
4.5 inches (114.3 mm): These are considered oversized louvers and are often used in larger rooms or windows to create a dramatic effect and maximize the view.
Some manufacturers may offer additional sizes or variations, but these three sizes are among the most commonly available options. The choice of louver size depends on factors such as the size of the window, the desired aesthetic, and the level of privacy and light control required.
Choosing between wood shutters and composite shutters often comes down to various factors such as budget, durability, and customization options. When custom colors are needed to match the decor and other design aspects, composite shutters may offer a more suitable solution.
Composite shutters, made from a blend of materials such as wood fibers and PVC, typically have a smoother surface than natural wood shutters. This smooth surface lends itself well to custom painting or staining, allowing for a broader range of color options to match specific decor styles or color schemes.
Additionally, composite shutters are often more resistant to moisture, humidity, and warping compared to natural wood shutters. This durability can be advantageous in environments prone to moisture, such as bathrooms or kitchens, where wood shutters might be more susceptible to damage over time.
However, if budget allows and the desired color can be achieved with standard wood finishes or stains, natural wood shutters can offer a timeless and luxurious look. Wood shutters also have a natural warmth and texture that some homeowners prefer over the smoother surface of composite shutters.
Ultimately, the decision between wood and composite shutters depends on individual preferences, budget constraints, and the specific requirements of the space where the shutters will be installed. If custom colors are a priority and durability in high-moisture environments is a concern, composite shutters may be the preferable choice.
