Should you choose Plantation or Traditional Shutters

This is such a great question and deserves to be explored in greater detail. We offer 5 louver sizes ranging from 1-1/4” to 4-1/2”. The louver size you choose can be determined by the aesthetic you wish to achieve, the level of light control desired, and the size of your windows. Our most popular sizes are 2-1/2” and 3-1/2” louvers. Choosing one of these will allow you to have fewer louvers and therefore more light. However, if you are looking for a more traditional look, the smaller 1-1/4” or 1-7/8” size may be the best choice. We have installed shutters in 1000’s of homes over our 20 years of business here in Redmond. We have included a few photos of our shutters, comprising all of the louver sizes we offer. If you would like us to help you visualize the options in your home, contact us for a no-obligation in-home estimate. We will provide skilled advice on which louver size options would best suit your windows and your home’s aesthetic.
