When we talk about window shutters, it can often be confusing because you can actually have them on the inside, such as plantation shutters, as well as the outside of your home. We are here to take all the confusion out of the various types of shutters including hurricane shutters along with wood and vinyl ones. If you live in a part of the world that is subject to tropical storms, we highly recommend installing good hurricane shutters to protect both the inside and outside of your home. A storm can do serious damage to your home's interior structure if the windows blow out. The best time to have them installed is when you are building your home so that your contractor can tie them into the exterior décor. Great interior decorating window treatments are plantation shutters.
Custom made plantation shutters can add style, warmth and beauty to any room in your home. Louver sizes often range from 2 1/2" to 4 1/28" depending on the size and shape of your windows and the room. They come in a variety of colors as well as wood and faux wood. Faux wood is a synthetic material that will not fade, warp or chip over time. If you live in a humid climate, these may be the perfect choice for you. Real wood shutters also come in a variety of finishes so that you can match them to the room's trim color if you like. Hurricane shutters also come in a variety of finishes and are most often custom made to ensure a perfect fit.
Many people wonder about the difference in shutter styles. The main difference with plantation shutters is that they tend to be thicker and the louvers are often wider. They provide a distinguishing look and feel to the room and are often used with traditional décors versus contemporary settings. That doesn't mean you can't use them in a modern home because you can. You can choose whatever window coverings you like that suit your needs and your style.
