Choices of Styles
The beauty of custom-made window treatments is that you can choose from many different styles in plantation shutters. Full height shutters cover the entire window from top to bottom. Cafe style is very popular and it covers the bottom portion of your window for privacy, but leaves the top of the window uncovered to allow light into your home. Tier on tier shutters cover your entire window from top to bottom with two sets of shutters. One set of shutters is at the top, the other is at the bottom of your window and they open independently for even more light control.
Choices of Opening
You can also have many choices of how your plantation shutters will open. The double panel style has hinges on both sides and the two vertical halves open outward like a double door opens. You can choose the quadruple panel style in which you have four panels horizontally that open in the fashion of a bi-fold door.
Great Lighting Control
All indoor shutters have great lighting control. You can tilt the louvers to any angle to allow more light into your home or close them entirely to keep the heat and sun outside. In addition, you can simple swing open the shutters and have full sunlight and a full view to the outside world. There are also different mounting procedures that can block the sunlight from coming in on the sides of your shutters with light strips or installing the shutters in your window with the hinges in grooves to block the additional sunlight.
A Stand Alone Window Treatment
Plantation shutters are a stand alone window treatment that doesn’t need the help from any other window treatments to add style and beauty to your home. You also have a wide range of colors to choose from to match your decor seamlessly.
