Plantation shutters offer many benefits that make them the best choice for window treatments. Based on our years of experience and customer feedback, here are some of the top reasons to choose plantation shutters.
Aesthetic Benefits
Adding beauty and style to your home, plantation shutters are stunning from inside and out. Turn heads and set trends in your neighborhood.
Custom interior shutters are made to your specifications and their timeless look will match anything from modern to antique style décor.
Custom tier-on-tier style shutters are the perfect combination of form and function!
Custom plantation shutters can be tailor-made to any size or shape window.
Functional Benefits
Our shutter slats close flat in the upwards direction for maximum privacy, preventing anyone outside the home from being able to see in. You can even partly open the slats to let in some light while maintaining a high level of privacy.
Darken a room so you can sleep better through the night, or fully open your slats to let the light flood in! The upwards closure of our slats also helps to maximize light blockage.
Shutters offer more control over light and privacy than other window treatments.
No vacuuming, chemical cleaners or flying dust to worry about! Wipe your shutters down with a microfiber cloth occasionally to keep clean. Your shutters will also keep dust from entering the room, for the added bonus of less dusting throughout the house.
Keep your window open and your shutter panels closed. Adjust the slats as desired to control air flow into the room, while keeping your privacy maintained.
Shutters’ insulative properties will reduce outside noise when your shutters and slats are closed. Our solid polyvinyl shutters featuring an aluminum core, or our full solid wooden panels will offer the most noise reduction.

Family Friendly
Above, we mentioned less dust for low maintenance window coverings. Shutters give a protective barrier to your windows reducing dust, pollen, dander and other allergens in the room.
Besides the added benefit of reduced dust and allergens, shutters are a great option for a child’s room for safety! No hanging fabric, strings or cords means your child is safer. Our 100% solid material shutters are durable and easy to repair or maintain.
Some of our customers will use shutters as a room divider to block off an opening to prevent children from climbing or peeking through.

Because our shutters are strong and durable, they hold up well to your furry family members!
Many customers love that they can keep the lower portion of their shutters closed to keep their pets from seeing out the window and barking at passers-by, but can keep the top of their shutters open separately.
We have seen special projects where our customers use shutters to block off an open cabinet or closet or used as a divider to keep pets out of a certain area in the home.
Half solid shutters are another great option to keep pets from peeking out the window while letting in light at the same time.
You will love the privacy, and your pets will love a sunny spot to relax in!
Budget Friendly
Save money on heating and cooling costs since your shutters will insulate against harsh hot and cold outdoor temperatures.
Increase property value and curb appeal, making your home able to sell faster and for a higher list price.
Repeat customers have told us the buyers of their previous home commented on how their custom plantation shutters were a big selling point!
Impressive from inside and out, shutters are a great investment in your property.
Protect your home from harsh UV rays that can cause your paint, furniture and carpets etc. to fade over time. Yet another long-term money-saving benefit to shutters!
Built to last with 100% solid hardwood or solid polyvinyl with aluminum core, your shutters will last much longer than curtains, blinds, or shades.
