Plantation shutters are a type of shutter and they are made from wood slats mounted in a frame. They first emerged in early European homes and the colonists were brought to the United States and the Caribbean where they can be seen in many historical, stately plantation homes in the southern States and in South America; hence the name plantation shutters.

Their traditional and historical heritage makes them an elegant appendage to the decor of your home.

Orlando plantation shutters help to keep rooms cool, without completely excluding all light and therefore are a welcome option in warmer humid climates, such as Orlando. They provide relief from the glare of the sun, but still allow enough natural light for you to work and write. They also provide a barrier against winds which is more effective than material curtains.
