Plantation shutters make a bold statement in any living
area. They provide light, ventilation, and privacy. They are made with frames
and slats for an elegant style. There are several considerations to make when
deciding to buy plantation shutters.
1. Choose where you will buy your plantation shutters. Try to find a company
that has been in business for several years, and has a good track record.
Compare features offered by different companies. Ask what service areas the
company covers. Check out product reviews online. Compare prices.
2. Decide who will install your plantation shutters. It is best to make this
choice before you go on to other questions because it can affect how you think
about the project. Most people do install them without professional help, but a
good carpenter will charge about $3 per square foot. You have to figure this
into the budget.
3. Decide whether you want custom made plantation shutters or shutters that have
been put together at the factory. With many companies, you have the option of
custom fitting your own windows with shutters. The choices may be more limited
for custom made shutters, however.
4. Choose a louver size. This is determined partly by where you will put the
plantation shutters. Large windows are best with 3 ½, 4 ½, or 5 ½ inch louvers.
This allows for a great view when the louvers are opened. For smaller windows, 2
½ or 3 ½ inch louvers are more appropriate.
