Plantation Shutters – History and Features 

Custom Plantation shutters are one of Aero Shade’s specialties. Plantation shutters share a rich history with southern living arrangements. The beautiful plantations of the Deep South were known for their extravagance. The large open windows were often covered externally with shutters that were able to be opened when desired. The openness of the plantation windows allowed for airflow and a scenic view of the land.California experienced a significant increase in population during the 1950’s. During this time, homes became a major focus of growing families. It was during this change that California manufacturers brought back the idea of the historical plantation shutters. Modern versions of plantation shutters have been conformed to reside inside the home as opposed to the outdoor versions of the past. The main differences between plantation shutters and standard shutters falls in the size of the louvres. They are much wider on plantation shutters. Standard shutters fall between 1 ¼” and ¾” thick, are made for small windows, and used mostly in the northeastern part of the country. Plantation shutters are a viable option from Aero Shade, and will add a traditional touch to your home while effectively allowing for open view of outdoor scenery.While the outdoor plantation shutters of the Old South effectively shut out the elements, the new indoor versions seemed to be most coveted for their aesthetic qualities at first. However, it did not take long for clients to realize the energy efficient qualities of plantation blinds, especially in the Sunbelt of the United States. The wide louvres are extremely efficient at repelling sun-induced heat in the home. In the cooler months, wide louvres open up to allow airflow from outdoors when windows are open. This natural approach can be a very appealing alternative for both city and country dwelling. Outdoor air can efficiently cool a home with large windows some parts of the year.While this approach to cooling a home is certainly budget-friendly, it also conforms to a more natural environment  that has disappeared somewhat from urban lifestyles. Southern natives may never give up their big beautiful windows, so Aero Shade is ready to compensate household needs with custom plantation shutters. A home can be beautiful, traditional, and energy efficient with our custom shutters.

Although plantation shutters may not be right for every home, they are a viable option for those with large windows and long term sun exposure throughout the day. Aero Shade will visit your home and help you find the appropriate window covering for your particular situation. Energy efficiency is a main concern with today’s rising electric costs. Yet, as a homeowner, part of the fun is designing your home to look the way you have always dreamed about. Our custom plantation shutters tend to evoke a kind of nostalgia in our modern homes. Even with energy saving windows and modern home design, some individuals choose plantation shutters simply for the look it brings.
