Many people don’t know that Traditional Shutters are no the same as plantation shutters. Often the Traditional Shutters will have the smaller, narrower louvers and usually they’re found in New England. Because trends have changed Traditional Shutters have gone out of style, Plantation Shutters let more light in and preserve the view to the outside much better. People may also be surprised to learn that the Spanish introduced shutters when they colonized the America’s. The large homes on the plantations in the South of the America’s would often use the wide louvered type of shutter, hence the name of the shutters we use today.
