What Are Plantation Shutters?

Created in the American South to combat humid weather, plantation shutters are large, wooden slats that sit within their frame – which are typically drilled to a window sill.

Despite their permanent fixture, you can control how much light they let in. Thanks to their tilt rod, they can be fully closed, open, or anywhere in between.

Made to Measure: Solaire Blinds’ Bespoke Service

Our plantation shutters are custom-made to your window by City and Guilds qualified joiners, who have the expertise to fit your shutters with the utmost care and precision. Even if your frame is arched or triangular, your shutter will fit perfectly because it’s bespoke.

No matter the shape or size of your window or door frame, you can rest assured knowing that the plantation shutters you choose will fit perfectly. Not to mention, we’ll install your blinds in one simple fitting. So, you can get an up-market, stylish room aesthetic – without the hassle.

Solaire Blinds’ Tilt Option Offers Versatility at Your Fingertips

With Plantation Shutters from Solaire Blinds, you have the option of opening and closing your slats with or without tilt rods. Your tilt rods either run down the centre of the shutter panel, or they can be off-set to to give a sleeker look.

You can even choose our Easy Tilt option. This allows you to open and close the slats with your fingertip – it’s that simple!
