Louvers: Different louver sizes are no-cost options for our Classic Line Plantation Shutters. In general, the larger the louver, the less obstructed the views. The flat louver profile is great for both traditional and contemporary settings.

Embossed Finish: One other great no-cost option with Classic Line Plantation Shutters is that they can be ordered with either a smooth or an embossed finish. The embossed finish is a way of revealing the wood texture in your shutters. It is achieved by taking normal plantation shutter parts and running them through a machine that removes a slight bit of the softer wood between the wood grains. Although noticeable in both painted and stained, the embossed finish is most noticeable when used on painted plantation shutters.


Quality:


Classic Line Plantation Shutters are made from solid cottonwood. Cottonwood takes paint very well, producing a fine, hard finish. Even more, stained cottonwood produces a beautiful wood grain finish. Take a look at the stain samples and you will see what we mean.



Classic Line Plantation Shutters have a metal reinforced tilt rod. This prevents tilt rod staples from bending over time and thus scratching the louvers. It also prevents staples from pulling out of the tilt rod altogether.



All Classic Line Plantation Shutters louvers, rails, and stiles are constructed of multiple pieces of wood to make bowing and warping almost impossible. Because of cottonwood’s heavier grain pattern, you have to look closely to ever notice the wood seam which only runs lengthwise the grain (never crosswise). Many times the same piece of wood will be used for a single shutter component. The wood is simply cut in half lengthwise, then one half of it is flipped over and is glued to itself. In this manner, if one piece of the shutter part wants to bend one way, the exact opposite force is in play in the other piece. This is a more expensive way to make plantation shutters, but also the mark of high quality millwork.



This is probably more detail than most of you want, but it should be sufficient to say that we take many extra steps to ensure that our Classic Line Plantation Shutters are truly versatile while being manufactured in the highest quality manner. You will be hard pressed to find more unique or versatile plantation shutters than our Classic Line Plantation Shutters.
