Most Popular Oahu Plantation Shutters
Budget Blinds of West Oahu specializes in providing custom window coverings for homes and businesses in West Oahu. One of our most popular window covering options are Plantation Shutters. This article discusses the most popular plantation shutter options for our clients.
Louver Size
Plantation Shutters typically have 3 louver size options including 2 ½”, 3 ½”, and 4 ½”. Most customers in West Oahu choose the 3 ½” louver size. Although we do sell both the 2 ½” and 4 ½” louver sizes and well. Generally, the larger the louver size, the less louvers there will be on the shutter, and therefore you can see out slightly more through the larger louver sizes.
Tilt Rod vs. Gear Tilt
Traditional plantation shutters are made with a tilt rod which connects each of the louvers together so that they all open and close at the same time. Another popular option is a gear tilt or hidden tilt option, where there is no visible tilt rod. Both options are popular.
Frame Style
Plantation Shutters most often will include a shutter frame around the window. Our four most popular shutter frames include:
Bullnose Z-frame
Z-frame
Trim Frame
Deluxe Trim Frame
Split Tilt
Another very popular Oahu plantation shutter option is the split tilt. The louvers on a standard plantation shutter will all open and close together. With the split tilt option, the top half of the louvers open and close separately from the bottom half. This allows a room to have privacy to the outside, but still allow light and views from the top half of the window.
