Plantation Shutters solve the window treatment scavenger hunt for home show visitors. Visitors attending the recently held Greater Charleston Home Show looking for a premium window treatment to accent their homes décor, were overwhelmed with the plantation shutters on display in the Show-Case Shutters booth. Homeowners were amazed at the many options available with the plantation shutters. This allows them to customize the window treatment to fit their home or rooms’ décor. Options in the Construction, Finish and Functionality of plantation shutters from Show-Case Shutters make it the perfect choice to enhance the appearance of their home. In addition to the quality and options available, attendees stated it was a bonus to find the shutters were American Made. Show-Case Shutters craftsmen proudly manufacture the company’s product in Christiansburg, Virginia with plantation shutters available in a wide array of styles, shapes, and sizes to fit your unique budget considerations. CEO Shan Carroll was on hand to work with show participants to demonstrate the many options and benefits the company’s product has to offer which include, but are not limited to, style, color, energy savings, increased privacy, and controlling natural light. Carroll also talked about things to be considered when looking at plantation shutters as your window treatment of choice. Items such as material used for construction–it all starts with the wood. “A shutter is only as good as the integrity of the materials from which it’s made. That is why we only start with the solid Basswood species. The reason that we use Basswood is due to its strength, woodworking characteristics, and its ability to accept various stains and finishes. What about the construction? We use doweled joinery to make the strongest panels possible, which is topped with our catalyzed lacquer finish. Our ends are sealed unlike other shutter manufacturers’; all exposed cut ends are sealed not just painted. This makes for a much better finished appearance as well as it prevents any moisture from penetrating the wood that could cause warping. Shutter Design–our flush top rail design on our shutters, is an example of how our shutters are better than our competition’s. Our flush top rail is a full 1 1/16” that fits flush with the stiles (the sides). Most of our competition has a ¾” drop rail that does NOT fit in a flush manner to the stiles. Why is this important? The thicker top rail provides for a more substantial, better built plantation shutter in addition to giving a cleaner look and it prevents light from showing through around the edges when you want more privacy.”

The Traditional Classic Plantation Shutters Are Always A Show Favorite

The traditional classic plantation shutter is always a show pleaser, but some of the most popular options show participants expressed excitement in were the plantation shutters with a unique “Distressed” finish. Unmatched in the industry, this unique finish adds a very authentic antique styling that is truly an eye catcher. Another designer looking product is the Rustic Plantation Shutters. Crafted with hand selected basswood with knots and aggressive graining fit the log home architecture. These two products alone set Show-Case Shutters apart from other window treatment vendors, but the offerings did not stop there. Plantation shutters for Sliding Glass Doors, French Doors and Patio Doors were on display providing the same styling and functionality as the plantation shutters for windows. These offerings allow you to complete the entire room with the same quality of décor.

Show-Case Shutters introduces a new design of Plantation Shutters that enhances the interior of a rustic log home appeal. Attention to detail as seen with the wood peg design was very popular with attendees of the recent Roanoke, Virginia Log Home Show. In talking with the Operations Manager, David Hodges, he was very pleased with the comments and reaction to the newly unveiled plantation shutters style. “We use a Bass wood with the natural knots left in as part of the rustic feel; the shutter itself blends in very well with that cabin feel.” The new rustic wood shutter provides an option for the log home builder or owner to add functionality to their window treatments without losing that natural warm wood feel.

“We make top quality premium plantation shutters and we wanted out logo, brand and website to match that quality,” said Shan Carroll, President of Show-Case Shutters. “Our old logo and website looked out-dated and simply didn’t reflect the image of what we truly are.”

Duvall Media was brought in to create the new logo, color scheme and website for Show-Case Shutters. Brian Duvall, owner of Duvall Media also teaches internet marketing in the region.  “I was originally asked to submit a proposal for creating a new website for my client,” said Brian Duvall. “But once we met and discovered the entire scope of what they wanted to accomplish, it became evident that a new website was only one aspect of what they actually needed.”

These photos were taken by our installers immediately after they finished installing the plantation shutters for the client.
