Plantation shutters are one of the most coveted interior window coverings
Plantation shutters are one of the most coveted interior window coverings on the market today. They are a classic choice that exudes a sense of durability and elegance every time they are observed.
Orange Beach, AL (August 22nd, 2011) – Plantation shutters are one of the most coveted interior window coverings on the market today. They are a classic choice that exudes a sense of durability and elegance every time they are observed. With their powerful charm, plantation shutters enhance the décor of any contemporary setting or the most traditional home. They provide excellent insulation and light control. Furthermore, plantation shutters can be custom made to fit the size of any window opening, including arch tops and many different geometric shapes.
Since the Middle Ages plantation shutters have been incorporated within the framework of home decor. Even during that archaic time these excellent window coverings were installed in structures that had window spaces, but no glass. When the European colonists and explorers developed their settlements in the Caribbean and Americas, they realized how well plantation shutters were suited for these climates. Many owners of the old plantation homes had these distinctive interior shutters installed. Hence, the name “plantation shutters.”
The plantation shutter is made from wide slats of material, typically 2”, 3” and 4”, attached to the inside of panels that are mounted into a solid frame. The slats are horizontal and are movable with the utilization of a tilt rod. The panels are hinged to the solid frame and thereby can open with a full range of motion at a 180° angle.
Although wood is the classic material for plantation shutters, it is also possible to find shutters made from polymers and various composites. The non-wooden shutters are referred to as “faux wood plantation shutters." The advantages of the faux wood shutter are some maybe water proof and normally cost less. There are limitations to the faux wood shutter; they are heavier than real wood, have greater restrictions concerning color scheme and custom-design. The wood shutters come in a greater color variety in both paints and stains, have no restriction on specialty shapes, are lighter than faux wood plantation shutters and can be made in larger sizes.

Window Décor Announces Ideas for Buying Door Blinds
Choosing the right window treatment for your glass doors
Orange Beach, AL (July 19th, 2011) – Window Décor & More announces tips for buying door blinds. Doors can sometimes be tricky to buy window treatments for because of their unusual size and shape. Not only that, door blinds shouldn’t interfere with your ability to easily open and close the door. Some window treatments ‘fly away,’ meaning they swing out the door when it opens and get caught in it when it closes, often damaging blinds or window treatments. Window Decor Announces Tips for Buying Door Blinds: 1. Window Décor makes custom shades and blinds to exact specifications. This is critical. One-size-fits-all blinds will most likely need to be trimmed or adjusted, making the blinds look cheap or awkward. Be sure to consult WD&M, as some measurements need to account for an extra space over the doorway for the valance to sit. 2. Decide what functionality you need in the window treatment. Are you looking for insulating blinds, UV blocking blinds, room darkening blinds or light filtering blinds? Does the room generally run cool, or does it heat up in the afternoon? Find a company that will help you choose the appropriate window treatments for your room. Window Décor offers a free in home consultation to assist in this decision. Mistakes can be costly but with WD&M they will back your purchase with their guarantee. 3. Consider the current design of the room and look for a product that will best match it. As for doorway window treatments, there are several options to choose from.a. Solar Screen Window Shades and Roller Shades. These window treatments work well in warmer climates or for rooms with a lot of south-facing windows. They cut glare, cut UV rays and help insulate the home.
b. Roller Shades and Solar Shades. These window treatments help keep a room cool. In an office environment, they provide a professional look. In a home, they help finish a room. As well, most can be installed inside or outside, however, pricing may vary when exterior components are added in.
c. Light Filtering Insulating Blinds. These cell shades are perfect for those who live in winter climates that involve a lot of below freezing days. Installed over a door, they help block drafts from entering a home, while filtering light, so the room remains bright.
d. Room Darkening Insulating blinds. These cell shades offer the same insulating properties as the Light Filtering Insulating Blinds, however, they help block light, making these a great match for bedrooms and home theater rooms, dens, offices and more.
e. Wood blinds. Wood blinds can help pick up wood accents in a room, creating a finished look that flows throughout the room. Wood blinds help insulate as well as offering light control.
f. Vertical blinds. These window treatments are the most standard for rooms with large sliding glass doors. They are generally available in faux wood and vinyl. Most people shopping for window treatments know what’s available and what they want. With doors, it’s different. Generally, consumers don’t even know what their options are. Hopefully these tips will help answer some of those questions.
