  • What exactly are plantation shutters?

    Plantation shutters are louvered panels fixed either inside or outside windows and doors. They are custom-built to fit your window, providing versatility, insulation, light control, and privacy.

    Yes, as well as French doors and patio sliding doors. Now plantation shutters are available in circles, arcs, and triangles to fit just about any window shape and size.

  • Do you have sales agents outside the United States?

    No, we do not have sales agents outside of the United States, but we will sell and ship our blinds and shutters all over the world.

  • Why should I consider outdoor shutters?

    Exterior shutters add to your home’s overall appearance, giving your house a more homey look and boosting your property value. If you use your exterior shutters for their intended function, they can add security from the elements and potential intruders. They also improve your home’s energy efficiency. 

  • Should I get interior or exterior shutters?

    It depends on what you are looking for. Exterior shutters tend to be more durable, provide more privacy, and can contribute to your curb appeal; however, they also tend to be used purely for decorative purposes. Interior shutters are more customizable and easier to maintain; they can also be more functional. 

  • What are the benefits of custom shutters, blinds, or shades?

    Every home deserves to look its best; with custom window treatments, your home will have a touch of elegance everywhere you look. Custom shutters, shades, or blinds are built to fit perfectly in whichever window they are meant for, ensuring that they work perfectly, reflect your tastes, and last for years to come. 

  • Which type of window treatment should I choose?

    The style of your space and your unique tastes will determine the type of custom blinds, shades, or shutters you choose. All options offer excellent light control and privacy, but they have some differences. Shutters are more durable and most effective at helping to streamline energy efficiency, while shades let in a little more light and function almost as decor in their own right. Blinds are easy to install and maintain; they also offer the option to layer different treatments for even more versatility.
