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 into a window sill. For fuss-free options with minimal installation work required, you can opt for Perfect-Fit shutters.
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.
Our shutters work with all kinds of windows and setups. Go for bay window shutters for a bright, open feel or tier-on-tier for flexible light control. Whatever your preference or need, there’s a perfect match waiting for you.
Pop by our showrooms in Leeds or Wakefield for more advice and guidance on the shutter selection!
