Colonial & Plantation Shutters

Storm Protection:

• Especially when constructed from robust materials like reinforced aluminum, Plantation shutters provide crucial protection against high winds and flying debris during severe weather events, such as hurricanes. 

• When closed, plantation shutters provide excellent privacy, shielding the interior of your home from outside views. Even with the louvers partially open, you can maintain privacy while still allowing light to enter.  

Energy Efficiency:

• Plantation shutters can help improve energy efficiency by acting as an insulating barrier. They can reduce heat gain in the summer and heat loss in the winter, potentially lowering energy costs.  

Durability and Longevity:

• High-quality plantation shutters, especially those made from solid hardwoods or composite materials, are very durable and long-lasting. They are less prone to fading, warping, or breaking than other window treatments.

Enhanced Aesthetics:

• Plantation shutters add a classic and elegant touch to any interior design. They can enhance the curb appeal of your home and increase its resale value. Their clean lines and timeless style complement a wide range of decorating styles.  

Increased Home Value:

• Because plantation shutters are considered a permanent home fixture, they often increase the resale value of a home.  

Ease of Maintenance:

• Plantation shutters are relatively easy to clean and maintain. A simple dusting or wiping with a damp cloth is usually all that’s required.  

Noise Reduction:

• When closed, plantation shutters can help to reduce outside noise, creating a more peaceful and quiet indoor environment.
