Plantation Shutters Enhancing Lake Home Use

Shutters in Lake Communities

Lake homeowners pay special attention to detail as lake living provides beautiful panoramic views.  So it is no surprise to know lake homeowners want window treatments that add both beauty and value.  Shutters in lake communities do just that.

Window treatments that have the functionality to take advantage of those views while maintaining privacy.  It is all about controlling the natural light to enhance the use of any room in their home.

This is a lot to ask for any one window treatment idea, unless you are looking at Show-Case Shutters.

Plantation Shutters an Architectural Elegance in Window Treatments

Our interior plantation shutters provide a beautiful architectural elegance.  Window treatments that meet all of the requirements listed above.

Plantation Shutters, with the functionality to adjust the angle of louvers, control natural light, UV rays from the sun, views, and privacy.

Controlling the natural light allows you to create a warming glow to you room without having to deal with the annoying glare.

With a slight upper angle to the louvers, shutters allow you to filter the sun’s harmful UV rays that fade or discolor your home décor.

Plantation Shutters with a mid-rail or split tilt rod design allow you to adjust your louvers separately.  The lower half louvers control visibility from the exterior of your home while allowing light to filter in the top half of the shutters. Full views, with the louvers in a horizontal position, allow you to enjoy those beautiful panoramic views.

Custom Oak Shutters

Stained oak shutters is an expensive route to go; but worth it in the end.

When it comes to the best of the best – in regards to plantation shutters, oak shutters are hard to beat.

Typically, quality plantation shutters are manufactured using two types of wood:  Basswood and American Poplar.  The poplar is typically used for a paint finish.  Basswood is reserved for stain finishes.

That doesn’t mean that is your only route.  Other popular woods used are alder wood, for it’s red finish, as well as oak and cherry – for their obvious respective finishes.

Solid Oak Shutters

Of course when you start dabbling into more expensive hardwoods it is not so you can paint them.  Stain, usually highlighting the natural color of the wood, is the way to go.

The client above used a clear finish to perfectly match the oak trim.  This is the most common route when using these types of wood.

Keep in mind, however, there is a reason why plantation shutter lovers use the standards – which always revolve around cost and weight.

Oak, while gorgeous beyond belief, is extremely heavy and very expensive.  These two factors alone should make any potential buyer take a second look to ensure these more exotic hardwoods are, in fact, the direction you want to go.
