Go to the Faux Wood Shutters | Custom Shutters | Blinds.com . Get rough measurements for your largest window. Plug them in to the page and find out. I did 9 windows of varying sizes for about $2600 self install. It took about 8 hours and I worked alone and had no experience with shutters.

All plantation shutters look the same to me. What is it that makes yours gorgeous? Just curious.

Be certain that you really want them. We moved into a house that has them…and we wish it didn’t. They block light, and you really can’t get as much fresh air as we’d like when windows are open. We would rather have had blinds we could open half way instead.

Hmmm… thank you.

We had Blinds plus Shutters do the entire house many years ago. One feature that we thought made them look better was the hidden tilt bar at the back. Another was the casing that framed the windows. A third feature was the "radiating" arch treatment on the large front window. They have held up very well.

I recommend Blinds 4 Less in Lady Lake. Nestor is the Best!

Question: Have you had them previously ? I often wonder why responders so often ignore a person's legitimate question only to give their unasked for opinion of what another should do. But I am going to take the chance of being one of those obnoxious people. P. S. are extremely popular, so my opinion is definite a minority, but we had every window in a previous home done, don't remember but added 4-5K ! I loved the look, kind of island tropical. However, the cleaning (even with a vac tool made for the purpose) took hours, ours could not be completely removed to clean (like a traditional bind), they definitely had limitations as to the degree of light that was able to enter, made cleaning the windows much more difficult (our swung out into the room), and fresh air flow was affected when not in AC months. After a few years, I was so dismayed over the dirt and dust that could not be cleaned out even with constant vacuuming; too many small areas that eventually looked slightly grey, never looked sparkling clean like when installed, so I made the difficult decision to have all of them taken out. So, definitely will not refute the many who will respond how much they love them. I know many do ! If you've had them previously, then you know you want them, if not, just make sure first because they are a large investment.
