Plantation Shutter Installation

Composite shutters are a type of faux wood made from a midweight wood fiberboard wrapped in vinyl or PVC. The main advantages of these composite materials are their sturdiness, affordability, and resistance to high humidity and warping.

Color options for composite plantation shutters include warm overtones like white, pearl, crisp linen, gray, and many more. When considering composite plantation shutters, pay attention to the louver (slat) size. Smaller slats will give you a more traditional look, while larger louvers (3.5 inches and up) give open shutters a cleaner, contemporary look.

Composite shutters can be paired with drapery or other window treatments to fit in with your home decor. When deciding on a composite plantation shutter style, consider your sun exposure and privacy needs for the room where they'll be installed. A Home Depot authorized service provider can install your custom composite wood shutters for a precision fit on any sized windows!

Faux wood plantation shutters are a window treatment made with a wood-like look and feel in mind. Simply adjust the louvers (slats) with a tilt rod usually found in the center. Although they resemble real wood shutters, they're energy-efficient, require less upkeep and are easier to install. They complement many types of decor and often have a limited lifetime warranty against the paint finish fading, warping or cracking. Faux wood plantation shutters are typically more affordable than other materials.

The size of the louvers will either give your windows a traditional appearance with more light control, or a more open, contemporary view with less light control. The larger the louvers, the more open your view will be.

If durability, affordability, and easy maintenance are your window treatment priorities, then vinyl plantation shutters may be your best choice. Vinyl shutters resist warping from humidity or moisture and will hold their appearance in extreme climates. Vinyl window shutters work for any high traffic area: dining room, living room, kitchen or bathroom. The louvers (slats) of vinyl dampen outdoor noise and provide energy efficiency from outdoor temperatures or drafts.

Vinyl interior shutters provide easy light control using a tilt bar on the shutter panels. Vinyl shutters can be installed on any window size—just make sure the louver size makes sense for the space. Bigger windows might look better with wider louvers to open up the view.
