Plantation Shutters | Custom Florida Shutters
Plantation shutters are custom interior window shutters designed to provide light control, privacy and a finished architectural appearance.
Unlike temporary window coverings, plantation shutters are built into the window or door opening and can be custom-made to fit the dimensions and shape of the property.
For Florida homeowners, plantation shutters are available in several materials and configurations, including hardwood, Basswood and moisture-resistant Ultra-Poly® options.
Plantation Shutters Florida Inc. manufactures custom plantation shutters in Florida for homeowners, builders, designers, contractors and commercial projects.
What Are Plantation Shutters?
Plantation shutters are interior shutters with adjustable horizontal louvers. The louvers can be tilted to control incoming light and privacy while still allowing the homeowner to maintain a view when positioned appropriately.
Their wide-louver design gives plantation shutters a clean, architectural appearance that works with traditional, transitional and contemporary interiors.
Because they are custom manufactured, plantation shutters can be designed around individual windows and doors instead of requiring the homeowner to adapt the opening to a standard-size product.
Custom Plantation Shutters for Florida Homes
Every Florida home has different windows, doors and architectural details.
Custom plantation shutters can be designed for:
Standard windows
Large windows
Tall windows
Bay windows
Arched windows
Specialty-shaped windows
French doors
Sliding glass doors
Patio doors
Sidelights
Transom windows
Floor-to-ceiling openings
This is especially important when a home has unusual architectural features. Plantation Shutters Florida Inc. offers custom shutter designs for arches, curves, doors, floor-to-ceiling openings and other unique sizes and shapes.
Hardwood Plantation Shutters
Hardwood plantation shutters are a popular choice for homeowners who want the natural appearance of real wood.
The wood can be painted or stained to coordinate with interior doors, flooring, cabinetry, trim and furniture.
Hardwood shutters are often selected for living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms and other areas where the appearance of natural wood is an important part of the interior design.
Plantation Shutters Florida Inc. offers hardwood shutter options along with Ultra-Poly products, allowing the material to be selected according to the room and project requirements.
Ultra-Poly® Plantation Shutters
Ultra-Poly® plantation shutters provide a moisture-resistant alternative to traditional wood shutters.
This can make them particularly useful for areas where humidity or moisture is a consideration, such as:
Bathrooms
Kitchens
Laundry rooms
Coastal properties
High-humidity areas
Commercial spaces
Choosing between hardwood and Ultra-Poly does not have to mean using the same material throughout an entire house.
A homeowner may select hardwood for bedrooms and living areas while choosing Ultra-Poly for bathrooms or other moisture-prone rooms.
Hidden Tilt Plantation Shutters
The tilt mechanism is another design decision when ordering custom plantation shutters.
Traditional tilt rods provide the familiar plantation-shutter appearance. Hidden-tilt configurations place the operating mechanism behind or within the shutter design for a cleaner appearance.
Hidden tilt can be especially attractive when the homeowner wants the louvers to be the primary visual feature of the shutter.
The existing Plantation Shutters Florida content has specifically featured hidden-tilt plantation shutters as one of its custom options.
Plantation Shutters for Sliding Glass Doors
Large glass doors require a different approach from ordinary windows.
Custom plantation shutters can be designed for sliding glass doors, patio doors and other large openings.
Depending on the opening, the shutter system may use larger panels, tracks or other configurations designed for door operation.
This allows homeowners to maintain the appearance of plantation shutters across both windows and doors instead of using completely different window treatments throughout the room.
Plantation Shutters for French Doors
French doors can also be fitted with custom plantation shutters.
Because doors open and close frequently, the shutter configuration must account for the door's operation, available clearance and hardware.
Custom measurements are particularly important for French doors, sidelights and other narrow or specialty openings.
The result can be a consistent window-treatment design across the entire room.
Plantation Shutters for Bay and Specialty Windows
Not every Florida window is a standard rectangle.
Bay windows, arches, transoms, curved windows and other architectural openings require careful measurement and custom design.
Plantation shutters can be manufactured around these shapes rather than forcing a standard rectangular covering into an unusual opening.
This is one of the advantages of working with a company that specializes in custom shutter manufacturing.
Made in the USA Plantation Shutters
If buying American-made products is important to your project, ask where the shutters are manufactured and who is responsible for the manufacturing process.
Plantation Shutters Florida Inc. is a Florida-based manufacturer of custom plantation shutters. The company offers hardwood and Ultra-Poly shutters and serves residential, commercial and trade customers.
The company's current website describes its shutters as handcrafted wood or poly products that are measured, crafted and professionally installed.
Factory-Direct Custom Shutters
The company you purchase from can make a significant difference in the buying process.
With a factory-direct approach, customers can communicate directly with the manufacturer about materials, measurements, custom shapes, colors, hardware and installation.
This can be especially useful for builders, designers and homeowners working on projects with specialty windows or large openings.
Plantation Shutters Florida Inc. also serves builders, designers and other trade customers with custom shutter projects.
Professional Measurement and Installation
Custom plantation shutters begin with accurate measurements.
The window opening, depth, trim, sill, door operation and surrounding architecture can all affect the final design.
Professional installation is also important because the shutter needs to operate correctly and sit properly within the opening.
Plantation Shutters Florida Inc. currently states that its handcrafted wood and poly shutters can be measured, crafted and installed in as little as seven days, depending on the project.
Plantation Shutters for Florida's Climate
Florida homes experience humidity, strong sunlight and temperature changes throughout the year.
That makes material selection important.
Hardwood can provide the natural appearance many homeowners want, while Ultra-Poly can be considered where moisture resistance is a higher priority.
The best material depends on the location of the window, the room, the home's design and the homeowner's requirements.
Plantation Shutters for Homeowners, Builders and Designers
Custom plantation shutters are not limited to individual residential projects.
They can also be specified for:
New construction
Home remodeling
Interior design projects
Builder projects
Rental properties
Commercial buildings
Hospitality projects
Large residential developments
Designers and builders can work with a manufacturer to coordinate shutter materials, colors, measurements and installation across multiple rooms or properties.
