Exterior Shutters

Plantation or Californian Shutters
Plantation shutters are Interior shutters and they normally hinge either side of a window opening, swinging inwards towards the room, allowing access to the window and allowing light into the room. Very useful on those very bright days when you want some shade from the glaring sun and also excellent at night when you want some privacy and don't want to pull down or close the blinds or close the curtains completely and block all the light out.

Traditional Interior shutters
Traditional interior shutters can use stationary louvres that do not rotate (fixed louvres), or more solid panels that can be raised, recessed or flat, fabric inserts, wooden or tinted glass. Shutters can be configured in a single tier unit that has one shutter top to bottom of a window opening as well as multiple tiers. Multiple tier units feature separate shutters on each tier which allows the top shutters to be opened independently from the bottom shutters. Cafe type shutters refer to shutters that only cover the lower portion of a window.

Exterior Shutters
The original concept for exterior shutters was that they were made for the control of light into a building as well as protection from the weather. Picture the chalets in Switzerland or the ornate Romanian and Eastern European shutters and you will get the idea. Possibly as a result of us Brits travelling the world and getting our inspiration from all over the globe, exterior shutters are an amazing design statement and, constructed correctly can add significant value to a home as well as looking great.
