Plantation SHutters

11 years ago

Trying to decide on which mfr. of Plantation Shutters to purchase for a second home in a beach town. ANy opinions on Norman Shutters, Next Day Blinds and the Louvre Shoppe? Wood plantation shutters are not an option due to the high humidity.

Thanks.

We recently installed Norman faux wood plantation shutters for 3 windows--inside mount using my existing window trim. They took several weeks to arrive (I was forewarned at the time of the order), but fit well and look great we think, and were easy for DH to install. I'm satisfied with them.

Thanks, Sujafr! The Norman Shutters are running 8-12 weeks. Next Day Blinds are made locally so I can have them delivered and installed in two weeks. Anyone have NDB? Opinions, thoughts?

My DS used NDB and they were terrific and look wonderful. His are wood,
although I imagine the non-wood ones would be of equal quality.

We just had installed a Garber shutter from Lowes in our master bath. Took about two weeks from when they came to measure to installation. Inside mount and kept my trim. Very pleased with the product.
