Plantation shutters come with a wide range, many different raw materials, different sizes and many colours. It eventually means that your search for the best treatment for your windows might effectively end here. The utility, elegance and the aesthetics they offer are simply unmatched and they also have great durability. These shutters often come in standard sizes for a low cost. As most of the time our windows are standard sized, it can cut the cost significantly.

Let us discuss the different types of plantation shutters here.

Wooden plantation shutters can come in many different forms. The designer version is often made from western red Alder which is a popular raw material for plantations. This wood is also popular for making furnitures. It is favoured for the grain and the texture it offers. Those who look for premium finish of plantation shutters will obviously favour this version. The different shades and perfect latex finish make these shutters the best your money can buy.

Another variation, the premium hard wood shutters, come in different shapes and sizes and are available to adorn your windows.

If you are a do-it-yourself kind of bloke, then these shutter are not for you as they need professionals to look after them. You should go for unfinished shutters which you can order to size. Most of these shutters are varnish or paint compatible. If you care about the value of money, you can go for hardwood shutters. If you are finicky about the cost, you can also go for stock sized shutters, made from box wood.

The other main category of plantation shutters is the composite material shutters which are often called polydesign shutters. They are made from Celuka and it gives you a great surface hardness. This surface is also resistant to fading. They have a high durability factor as well. You can go for the very economical MDF shutters in this category as well. In fact, for cost conscious people, it is best to use MDF shutters in London.

Under fake wood shutters, you can buy stock shutters and custom shutters. These are made from Vinyl but the drawback is they come in limited shades only. Only white shutters can be painted to other colours. However, they handle the natural elements of the weather well. 

While there are other shutters, one should know the budget first as all of these shutters come in different price ranges.
