A plantation shutter is a window covering built from a solid structure that is manually adjustable. Unlike blinds or shades, plantation shutters offer better structure and durability.
Built from a solid frame that includes adjustable louvers, the quality is sturdy compared to the lightweight materials that blinds and shades use.
Typically, plantation shutters are built from polyvinyl, wood, composite, or PolyCel, which is a specially designed material created by Best Buy Shutters, specifically for Las Vegas homes.
A plantation shutter is also better at controlling light, airflow, and personal privacy. Blinds use cords or wands, which are worn down over time. Shades have a more cohesive build but are limited in protecting UV rays and controlling airflow. Plantation shutters offer better versatility in both areas and often have a more polished aesthetic appeal.
Each part of the shutter plays a role that contributes to the higher quality compared to other types of window coverings.
Plantation shutters are an investment that can last years if properly installed. Using a professional installation service, like Best Buy Shutters, ensures your shutters withstand daily use.
Essentially, a window shutter has three main sections that all work together.
The frame anchors everything together and keeps it attached to your window. The frame includes the rails and the stiles. These pieces are sturdier than the louvers or tilt bar.
The louvers are the individual slats that run horizontally and are the parts that control your light and airflow. They are controlled by adjusting the tilt bar up or down.
Hardware allows movement and adjustment to happen by including adjustable hinges. These hinges move when you adjust the tilt bar.
Most high-quality Las Vegas shutters are made from either wood, composite materials, or high-performance polymers. The environment plays a big role in what works best for each home.
Wood shutters have a classic look, but the material struggles in intense heat or dry climates. Composite materials improve durability but will wear over time, due to the sun’s strong UV rays.
Las Vegas homes are better suited for materials like the high-tech PolyCel shutters. They are built with a solid cellular structure that helps block heat, resists UV damage, and improves energy efficiency. Your home stays cooler during the hot months, and the shutters keep their aesthetic over time.
After 40 years of servicing the Las Vegas area, Best Buy Shutters understands how window treatments hold up to extreme temperatures. We’ve developed PolyCel shutters that resist warping, cracking, and fading caused by UV exposure.
