Choosing the Right Material
Plantation shutters come in various materials. PVC/faux wood shutters are moisture-resistant, making them ideal for bathrooms and kitchens. Basswood shutters offer premium natural timber beauty for living areas and bedrooms.
Blade Sizes
Common blade widths are 63mm, 89mm, and 114mm. Smaller blades suit smaller windows and traditional homes. Larger blades create a modern look and allow more light when open.
Frame Options
Choose from L-frame for standard windows, Z-frame for deeper reveals, or specialty frames for arches and unique shapes. The right frame ensures proper fit and operation.
Colour and Finish
White remains the most popular choice, but timber shutters can be stained in various wood tones. PVC shutters come in white and cream options with durable painted finishes.
Installation Considerations
Professional installation ensures proper fit and operation. Consider full-height, café-style (covering lower half only), or tier-on-tier configurations for different windows.
