Plantation Shutters

Plantation shutters are for interior use and are louvered, they also cover the whole window. These shutters are made from wood, although you can get them made of vinyl or pvc. These shutters are not like your normal shutters, these have hinges on them and can be opened and closed.

The louvers are a very important part of your shutters. This controls whether or not you will have sunlight in your home. You can get louvers that open and close, or you can get louvers that don’t move. If you are using your shutters for privacy only, then you really don’t need to have louvers that move. If you want to be able to control the sunlight in your home, then you can get louvers that open and close.

You can get panels and louvers in different sizes. You can get the panels anywhere from 15 to 36 inches in width. You can get the louvers anywhere from 1 3/4 to 4 1/2 inches wide. If you have a wider louver then you can get more sunlight and air flow.  It all depends on what you consider to be the best plantation shutters for your home.

You can put these shutters on any kind of window, they look really good on big picture windows. The main type of wood that is used to make these shutters is pine.
