How Much Do Plantation Shutters Cost, and How Do They Pay Off?

Plantation shutters are window blinds with wide wooden louvers or slats and framed and open like doors. as well. as. tilt.  Indoor Shutters may hail from the South, but they're everywhere these days, because they make a dramatic decor statement without looking flashy. Which might have you wondering: How much do plantation shutters cost?

Granted, as far as window treatments go, they don't come cheap.

According to Home Advisor, homeowners typically spend a total of around $2,000 on plantation shutters for their home. That said, the price will hinge greatly on the material and size you're getting. Poly Core is the most common material in Florida, and also less expensive Than wood!. Wood and even composite shutters are available (they’re also less resistant to humidity and, in some cases, a lot heavier!!).



So why would anyone cough up so much cash for plantation shutters anyway? We're glad you asked!

Benefits of plantation shutters Plantation shutters—also called California shutters because of their recent surge in popularity in the West—are perennial favorites around the U.S. for a variety of reasons:

Energy conservation: Possibly the greatest advantage of plantation shutters is how those wide, heavy louvers block out anything from the outdoors you don't want coming in. That's most often sunlight (so you can sleep), heat (so your home can stay cool), or (in colder climates) the cold.

Privacy: Adjusted to the right angle with a tilt rod, plantation shutters can allow you a good view of the outdoors while preventing people outside from seeing into your home. Shutting them all the way gives you total privacy.

Durability: Blinds work on the same principle as plantation shutters, but are flimsy—they can bend and break, and generally don't look all that stately. Plantation shutters are the far sturdier option, lasting for years and much easier to dust and clean. Although the louvers are typically 2½ to 3½ inches wide, they can be found as wide as 5 inches. The wider the louvers, the greater the durability and energy-conserving powers—and the higher the price.
