What is a Plantation Shutter?
The term Plantation Shutters usually refers to the size of the louvers or slats of the shutter.
Traditionally much larger than Colonial Shutters, the louver sizes range from 2 ½” to 4 ½” in width.
Another characteristic is the thickness and width of the stiles and rails of the panel. The stiles, or vertical sides of the panel, are constructed to be more rigid. Depending on the manufacturer, the stile widths range from 2 to 2 ½ inches and the standard thickness is 1 1/8 inch.

CONCEPT
The concept is simple, the larger construction allows for less obstruction to your view and more light in the room.
The thick rigid qualities of the Plantation Shutter gives the advantage of less panels, cleaner lines, and instead of having to move furniture every time you want to see outside, you have the ability to get all of your light and view by just tilting the large louvers up and down.
