These tend to go by many names; interior window shutters, window shutters indoor, wood interior shutters, inside window shutters, custom plantation shutters, interior shutters, custom shutters, window shutters, you get the drift...  Let's just start with plantation shutters.  

​

Window shutters are the most durable and sturdy window treatment. They can cover not only
the windows inside of your house, but cover and decorate the windows around the outside of
your house.

Shutters have evolved over time, but not by much. Exterior shutters have since then added
color and an individual slat that looks nailed together to others, and often don’t even match the
size of the windows they are near. Indoor shutters are an easy treatment for interior windows,
but often come at a price point many are trying to avoid. In this guide, we will be giving you all
the information you need to make an educated decision with the shutters or window treatments
you choose for your home.

There are only two different types of materials used for shutters, and those are the Faux Wood
Plantation Shutters and the Wood Plantation Shutters. Although it may seem simple to know
how to pick between the two, you are going to need some guidance, and it isn’t as easy as it
seems.

Faux Wood Plantation Shutters

​

Faux wood shutters or polywood shutters are mainly used in high humidity areas.  This way they won't warp over the years.  They come in a variety of colors just like regular shutters.  The biggest difference is the price point.  Because we reinforce them with metal inside of the slats it makes them last longer in kitchens and bathrooms where the humidity is higher from time to time.

Wood Plantation Shutters

Real wood is the way to go when shopping for shutters in or out of your home. The real wood is
going to be able to stand the test of time, and they won’t have a limited lifetime. You will likely
have the shutters you pick now as the shutters you have when you one day sell your home. If
you go with a louvers window shutter inside of your home, and the hinges are good, you will
also see these shutters live a whole lifetime.

If you are unfamiliar with louvered shutters, they are the kind of window shutters that have
hinges on each slat, making little doors in the window for the light to come in. Louvers shutters
the most popular shutter for the inside of a home, as they are covering the window and not next
to the window like most traditional shutters.

Louvers that are made with real wood are the best you can get for the interior of your home.
Shades don’t give you the durability that shutters offer you, and blinds are shutters are too
different to categorize them as the same. The width across the window and the frame the
louvers shutters possess are second to none. If you are looking for something to cover the
inside windows, this is it.
Louvers can block out bright white light, keep your house cool from the sun, and they can even
be made with custom wood.
