Colors

Both Polywood plantation shutters and Ovation real wood shutters can be customized with in multiple colors, paints, and stains.

Louver Sizes

Plantation shutter louvers come in three main size options: 2.5”, 3.5”, and 4.5”. Even though louver size depends on your personal preference, we’ve observed from our extensive experience that larger louvers allow you to let more light in to brighten up the room – and see more of your view.

When furniture and household items are blocking a portion of your window, tilting the shutter louvers brings more light into the space. For that reason, larger louvers let you see more through your plantation shutters in Philadelphia!

Louvers come in many sizes

Frame Styles

Thanks to a hang strip or a frame, plantation shutters in Philadelphia can be attached to a window. Our design specialists will do custom mounting, – and without a frame when needed.

Tilt Rods

Our most popular tilt rod is our traditional front mount tilt rod. This type of tilt rod is the one regularly associated with plantation shutters, and is a large part of their elegant look. Because the tilt rod hangs on the front of the shutters, it’s easy to open your shutter louvers so light can come in and completely close them for extra privacy.

Another option is our rear-mounted tilt rod, which is an easy and practical way to have the look of a hidden tilt rod, but is less expensive. Using a thin metal strip on the back corner of each louver, the tilt rod orchestrates the movement of your plantation shutters.

Door Handle Cutout

Shutters for doors in Philadelphia are charming. But what if your door has a handle that covers the glass? Our designers cut the shutters around the door handle. And just like that, you have beautiful, functional doors and shutters. And you get to hold on to the door handle!

These contemporary shutters give a custom look to your doors while helping you maintain the consistent look of shutters all over your home. Some cutouts are rounded and some cutouts are square. Regardless of what option you choose, our installation specialists guide you in customizing your doors with shutter options in Philadelphia to match décor and personal taste.
