Macarthur Home Improvements I Plantation Shutters

Plantation Shutters are for internal and external use of your home or business. They are louvers (slats) that run across with a controlling arm which runs down the middle or side of the panels.

They come in a variety of materials, like Basswood, Normandy Wood, ABS, Thermopoly and Aluminium. Note: the Basswood and Normandy have Mortice and Tenon joints. The mortice and tenon comprises of two components: the mortice hole and the tenon tongue. The tenon is inserted into a mortice cut into the corresponding member. The tenon is cut to fit the mortice hole exactly and usually has shoulders that seat when the joint fully enters the mortice hole. This acts like a reinforcement and makes the style/frame stronger.

The Shutters come with a choice of 13 standard colours and 10 stain colours. The blade sizes available to choose from is either 63mm, 89mm or 115mm with either flat or elliptical (curved blade).
