If you want to create a completely new and elegant face for your home, consider installing plantation exterior window shutters. These will not only beautify and revive the outside appearance of your property, they will also bring a tranquil and private ambience to the interior. Custom made plantation exterior window shutters will remain good looking for years if you take good care of them.

While these are the perfect match for more traditional architecture styles, the right finish can also be coordinated with contemporary designs. Interior window shutters are often in vinyl and do not come with warping challenges. This material can also be used outside, but in the end hardwood has a pull of its own and remains a popular decor choice. As for wood grain, the list is virtually endless and can include maple, cherry, oak, poplar or teak.

A warp-resistant wood that is often seen, is basswood. The grain patterning is shown in its full glory with the right stain choice. One popular basswood range for interior use is the Ovation Sunburst Shutter sold in Las Vegas and other areas. The Shutter Classic range often utilizes Alder wood. If you have a rustic decor theme, you will fall in love with the Knotty Alder option with 3 1/2″ louvers.

The color palette as far as stains are concerned are endless. You can also often choose to have the wood plantation shutters painted in a color or brand of your choice.

Right down to hinge colors and materials, you are in charge.

Even wider windows and sliding doors can get the plantation exterior window shutter treatment. By using an overhead track, size is no longer a problem. In general these window coverings don’t require that much maintenance.
