Plantation shutters

Many owners and companies are discovering why plantation shutters are a great way to add functionality, value and beauty to their homes and offices. Planting blinds are a relatively inexpensive way to make a big change in the appearance and value of your home. Unlike the most common obturators that most people know, plantation shutters are found inside the window and are fully operational.

The traditional plantation shutters have a fairly simple design. Usually, they consist of a pair of vertical panels. Sometimes plantation shutters can be found with more than two panels, instead of using a greater number of panels to obtain a more exclusive appearance.

Panels
The horizontal slats on the top and bottom of the shutter are called "rails". Some seeding flaps may also contain one or more horizontal rails in the center of the obturator, dividing the plantation flap into different levels. Located on the sides of the obturator, they are vertical "uprights".

Louvers
The "blinds" are the parallel slats located between the uprights, which can be tilted and adjusted to allow more or less light, as well as the air flow when the opening is open. The blinds can be made in different sizes and shapes, and are usually the most personalized part of these blinds.

The blinds can vary considerably in size, allowing more options. It is important to bear in mind that the wider the shutter, the more light and air will be allowed in the room when it is opened. In addition, in terms of appearance, the larger windows are more aesthetic with plantation shutters that include wider blinds. This is also true for large rooms. The "tilt rod" is the mechanism that controls the movement of the blinds. These also come in a variety of styles. Some of these tilt rods are actually designed in the obdurate, hiding the stalk of sight. These are properly called hidden tilt bars.

Materials
Planting shutters are available in many different materials. PVC faux wood shutters and PVC shutters are increasingly popular, but they do not compare to real wood blinds in terms of beauty and style. The wooden shutters of the plantations can be made from all types of wood, including rich woods such as pine, cherry, mahogany and walnut. The type of wood used is the second after the quality of construction, including cutting, sanding and finishing the product.
