Shutter Options And Parts In Detroit

When purchasing plantation shutters in Detroit, there are plenty of shutter options to choose from.

Louver Sizes

Plantation shutter louvers come in three different sizes: 2.5”, 3.5”, and 4.5”. Even though louver size depends on your personal preference, we know from decades of experience that the larger the louver size, the more light you can let in to illuminate the room – and have a larger view to look out from.

If furniture and fixtures are in the way, moving the shutter louvers lets in more light and more of the view of your neighborhood. For that reason, the larger the louver, the more you can see through your plantation shutters in Detroit! 

Frame Styles

Using either a frame or hang strip, your plantation shutters in Detroit can be attached to a window. Our design specialists provide custom mounting, even without a frame if needed. Take a look at the available frame shutter styles. The Craftsman frame is only installed with Polywood® shutters. Ask a design expert for more options.

Tilt Rods

Our traditional front mount tilt rod is our most popular tilt rod. This style of tilt rod is the one typically associated with plantation shutters, giving them their elegance. Because the tilt rod is on the front of the shutters, adjusting your shutter louvers to let sunlight in and completely closing them for more privacy takes a quick second. 

You can also choose our rear-mounted tilt rod, which is a functional way to get the appearance of a hidden tilt rod, but is less expensive than an internally mounted gear mechanism. Using a thin metal strip on the back corner of each louver, the tilt rod orchestrates the movement of your plantation shutters.
