Louver Sizes

Plantation shutter louvers are manufactured in three different sizes: 2.5”, 3.5”, and 4.5”. Even though louver size depends on your personal preference, we’ve seen over decades of experience that with larger louvers you can let more light in to brighten up the room – and have a larger view to look out from.

If fixtures and furniture are in front of your window, moving the shutter louvers brings more light into the space. In this instance, larger louvers let you see more through your plantation shutters in Southern California! 

Frame Styles

Utilizing a frame or hang strip, plantation shutters in Southern California can be attached to a window. Our design specialists will do custom mounting, – and without a frame when needed. Take a look at the frame shutter styles we offer. The Craftsman frame is only offered for Polywood® shutters. Ask a design expert for more options.

Tilt Rods

Our most requested tilt rod is our traditional front mount tilt rod. This tilt rod style is the one most often associated with plantation shutters, and is a large part of their elegant style. Since the tilt rod is on the front of the shutters, it’s easy to open your shutters to let in light and completely close them for more privacy. 

You can also choose our rear-mounted tilt rod, which is an easy and practical way to enjoy the feel 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 

Doors covered with shutters in Southern California are elegant. But what happens with a door that has a handle that reaches over the glass? Our designers build the shutters around the door handle. This way, your shutters look beautiful and are functional. And you are able to save the door handle!

These stylish shutters bring a custom look to your doors while letting you maintain the unifying look of shutters throughout your house. While some cutouts are rounded, others are square. No matter what style you choose, our installation specialists show you how to customize your doors with shutter options in Southern California to complement décor and personal taste.
