Should I opt for wooden interior shutters or “faux wood” options?

This question comes up often, and the response differs from person to person. In Boston, the predominant type of Plantation shutters we provide is made from genuine wood. This preference exists because shutters made from quality materials and premium hardwood can last a lifetime. However, genuine wood does have its drawbacks. Wood is a natural material, so it has tiny holes. Because of this, it should not be used in wet places like showers or certain bathrooms. This is where synthetic alternatives like vinyl and vinyl composites truly excel. Some composite shutter brands resemble their wooden counterparts so closely that they are nearly the same. With some brands, we can match paint colors and frame choices. This creates a smooth transition from one room to another.

In Tampa, Florida, the humid subtropical weather presents unique challenges. Real wooden shutters, made from high-quality hardwoods, offer lasting beauty and can last a long time with good care. However, wood may not be good for areas with high humidity or moisture, like places near water. In these instances, faux wood options come into their own. Made from synthetic materials like vinyl or composite, these shutters resist humidity, moisture, and temperature changes. These are common problems in our Florida climate. Many of the faux wood brands we offer look just like real wood. They provide the same charm but are more durable. To create a consistent look in your home, we can match paint colors and frame designs. This applies to both wooden and faux wooden options. This helps choose the best material for each room. It also keeps a smooth flow throughout the home.

What options do I have when designing my Custom Interior Window Shutters?

Color – Let’s start by discussing color! When selecting colors, Plantation shutters offer a tailored appearance suitable for any home design. Our color selection includes shades ranging from white and off-white to vibrant solid hues. Additionally, we provide both light and dark wood stains, along with custom color matching services. If that’s not sufficient, we also feature Knotty and Distressed Finishes for added variety.

Louvers Size – The next thing people often notice is the size of the louvers on your stylish interior shutters. In the Boston region, you’ll find homes that range from historic Colonial to contemporary designs. The size of the louvers plays a big role in how Plantation Shutters look.

For more traditional shutter designs, you might want louvers that are either 1.5 inches or 2.5 inches. On the other hand, modern styles typically go for louvers of 3.5 inches or 4.5 inches. If you’re aiming for a wide view with minimal obstruction, consider choosing shutters with 4.5-inch louvers!

Frame profiles and sizes – Among the primary choices you’ll need to make when designing your Plantation shutters is the type of frame to use! We provide an array of frame profiles and sizes to suit virtually any style you’re looking to achieve. If you prefer to forego a frame altogether, we can accommodate that preference, too!

Additional Window Shutter Options Include:

Tilt Bar – Choose between a classic tilt bar or an Invisible Tilt System that allows for an unobstructed view.

Hinges – Select painted hinges to blend in with the shutter color or opt for striking colored hinges that contrast with your shutters. Some of our specialty hinge colors include brushed nickel, stainless steel, black, and brushed oil-rubbed bronze.

Specialty Shapes and Applications – Our Plantation shutters can be custom-made to fit many window shapes. These include rectangles, arches, angled tops, triangles, ovals, sidelights, sliding doors, French doors, and skylights.

Motorization – Wait… Did you hear that? YES, we did! If you’re familiar with us, you know that we believe every window treatment can be enhanced with motorization! Our Plantation shutters are no exception. We offer motorized plantation shutters for hard-to-reach windows. These include tall windows in a foyer or windows above a bathtub!
