All about Plantation Shutters

Shutters serve a variety of functions for your windows, including light control, privacy, and aesthetics, to name a few. There are many shutter types in the market today, but plantation shutters are among the most desirable. This is because they are versatile and inexpensive, and can even increase the value of your home.

Wholesale Shutter Co. is the top company when it comes to discount shutters in Southern California. To help you make an informed decision, we discuss all you need to know about plantation shutters.

Brief History

People living in the South first used these types of shutters in large plantation homes, which is how the name came about. These became a great alternative to traditional shutters with smaller louvers. With these shutters, you can regulate light and outdoor views much better.

Design

This usually depends on the style of your windows, as well as your personal taste. Either way, you can count on us to provide you with a custom solution for your needs. We manufacture each custom order, for homes and offices. You get to choose your own paint and stain color, louver size, and hinges -basically letting you design the look yourself.

Material

Our plantation shutters come in two major materials – basswood and poly components. Not only are these durable and easy to clean, but you can also enjoy better insulation in your home. Our wood shutters in San Diego do not peel, warp, or fade. They are manufactured using solid basswood components, not finger-jointed or edge-glued. Our poly shutters are energy-efficient since these are 7/16-inch thicker than vinyl options, and are solid, not hollow. Additionally, the poly material is water resistant, so they work very well in high moisture areas.

Plantation shutters also offer great curb appeal. These provide your windows with a uniform look and can create a cohesive focal point for the façade of your home, and they go with any décor. Choose from various styles and louver sizes for the ones that complement your home perfectly.

Wholesale Shutter Co. also offers window treatments, like shades and blinds for the interior of your home. With our wide range of products, we are confident that you’ll find everything you need for your windows.
