What are Plantation Shutters?
Plantation shutters are a type of window covering featuring a solid and stable frame, usually composed of vertical stiles and horizontal rails (top, centre, and bottom). Set within this frame are operable louvers—typically horizontal—that can be adjusted to control light and airflow. They can also feature solid panels, glass inserts, or other materials for a customised look.
Plantation shutters are not only functional but also add a classic, elegant touch to any interior or exterior window.
