Shutters

 
Our interior shutters serve a number of purposes as window coverings; from simply blocking light from entering a room, providing privacy or simply increasing or complementing the aesthetics of a room. Interior shutters are often called plantation shutters – but there is a distinction between traditional shutters and the plantation variation. Read on and we’ll tell you all there is to know!

Varieties and Styles

Plantation Style

Plantation Shutters

The defining aspect of plantation shutters is the generous sizing of the louvers, which also allow for maximum visibility when they are raised. Plantation shutters are typically made from wood with either a solid painted finish or a stained finish to showcase the wood grain. However, there are also composite wood varieties made from wood particles fused and sealed by a polymer resin – higher end composites will feature a solid core to maximize durability.

Traditional Style

Traditional Shutters

Traditional shutters are quite similar to plantation shutters in their design and operation, but the defining difference is in the smaller louver size. The decision to go with either variety is primarily a matter of personal style and preference, but they do offer slightly more privacy when raised due to more louvers and less spacing between each. Like plantation window coverings, these shutters are typically available in wood, faux or composite materials.


Cafe Style

Cafe Shutters

Cafe shutters can resemble either plantation shutters or traditional shutters since the louver size is irrelevant to cafe styling. What makes this variety unique is that they do not span the full height of the window, rather – they leave a portion of the upper window exposed, which means they will always allow some light to pass through a window. Commonly, these shutters are used in kitchen and bathroom applications – but are certainly suitable for any room.
