Plantation shutters: the profitable window covering

 Save money with plantation shutters

 Plantation shutters (also called colonial shutters or louvered shutters) are a modern and attractive window covering; They have ties to the traditional blinds of the past. They are made from a variety of woods and can have slats to control light levels, or they can be solid. They are flush with the window, making the wall space appear larger and less cluttered.
