PLANTATION SHUTTERS

The larger louvers give the shutters an elegant look, which works well in dining rooms and bedrooms. But these versatile window treatments also translate to casual rooms like dens and kitchens. The most popular color is white, but stained shutters have their followers, too.
Plantation blinds come in three types of material, PVC, Aluminium and wood. Here’s a breakdown of each, to help you determine which is best for your home.

PVC Plantation Shutters

PVC shutters are the least expensive of the plantation blinds, but the low-end ones can have structural issues, if the shutters are large. PVC shutters contain no wood, but they can have aluminum supports for stability. Their main advantage is cost. They’re also weather resistant and good in high-moisture areas. PVC plantation shutters come in the following types:

• Hollow PVC – These shutters are exactly what they sound like: hollow frames. They have the benefits of PVC but have size limitations because the hollow frame can’t support the weight of larger frames. While these are the least expensive of the options, they can sag over time.
• Structured hollow PVC – This next step up includes a PVC skeleton within the shutters to support the shutter’s weight, reducing the amount of sag in the vinyl. Still considered hollow, these have better structural integrity.
• Solid PVC – Next up the shutter food chain is solid PVC, which is a frame that has been filled with blown PVC. These are more stable than hollow shutters, and still on the low-end cost-wise.
• Solid PVC with an aluminum insert – These offer the support of metal with a lighter profile.
