I love knowing that plantation shutters have all that history surrounding them.

The History and Romance

The ideal way to control light and privacy in your home.

Plantation shutters are louvred panels fixed to the inside of windows and doors. They originated in America and the West Indies on the large farms or estates in tropical or semi-tropical regions – hence the need to block out intense heat and light. You can just imagine how hot and bright it must have been! Plantations were of course associated with laborers who helped cultivate crops such as cotton, tobacco, coffee, sugar cane and the like. So you can choose the most modern design and colours for your shutters knowing that there is so much history is attached to the plantation shutter.

Remember that just as they did when they were invented centuries ago, plantation shutters are the ideal way to control light and privacy in your home. But not only that, plantation shutters are proven to increase property values (critical in today’s marketplace) as they make your house look so attractive from the outside but at the same time they enhance security as it is more difficult to peer through them.

Shutters are also good for the environment as they increase insulation and they will redirect harmful UV rays that might damage your paintings and furniture.
