Plantation Shutters In Morton
Plantation Shutters in Morton, IL
Shutters are the product people pick for a house they plan to stay in, from the older homes near Main Street to the custom builds on the big lots of Wolf Crossing. Our Solar Shield Blinds Plantation Shutters are built to the exact measurements we take at each Morton window, so they fit the opening you have.
Where It Fits In Morton
Where Plantation Shutters Make Sense In Morton
Shutters count as a built in feature of the house, and they cover front windows, sidelights, patio doors and odd shapes.
- Older Frames Near DowntownA house that has settled for decades can have openings that aren't square, so we measure on site and pick the frame that fits best, from a hang strip to an L, Deco or Z frame.
- Crank WindowsCasement cranks and locks need room behind the louvers, and we check each one and add a buildout where it's needed.
- Patio DoorsA slider takes sliding shutter panels, and a door can also take bi-fold panels or a French door cutout.
- BathroomsReal wood can warp in steam, so composite or poly with the waterproof option goes in baths and laundry rooms.
Planning Your Shutters
Measured to each opening and planned so the louvers line up
Every panel is built to the numbers we take in your home, and every shutter in a room is ordered to one height within a quarter inch, so the louver lines run level from window to window. Panels taller than 78 inches get a divider rail, which lets you close the bottom louvers for privacy and open the top ones for light.
Real wood is the lightest material, goes up to 42 inches per panel, and is the one to choose for a stain. Composite and poly go up to 36 inches per panel in painted finishes and resist warping. Louvers come in five sizes, from 1 7/8 inch to 4 1/2 inch, and tilt by a standard rod, an offset rod, a split tilt or our Invisible Tilt.
Plan on 8 to 10 weeks from order to install, with Free Temporary Shades on every window you've ordered for in the meantime. Because the Carefree Guarantee transfers, the coverage goes with the house if you sell, and financing through Synchrony offers up to 18 months at 0% interest.

Tilt Options
Four ways to tilt Plantation Shutters in Morton
Shutters tilt rather than lift. Your Design Specialist brings a sample of each tilt style so you can work it at your own window.
Standard tilt
A center rod down the panel. The traditional look.
Offset tilt
Rod moved to the side so it does not divide the view.
Invisible tilt
Linkage hidden inside the stile. The cleanest option.
Split tilt
Top and bottom halves operate independently.

Straight Answers
Plantation Shutters questions from Morton homeowners
Yes. We measure every opening on site, and on a window that's out of square we choose the mount and frame that give the cleanest fit. A direct mount shows the difference most, and your Design Specialist points out any window where that applies.
Yes. Open louvers give a view out with privacy from the street, and from the curb a row of shutters gives a ranch a finished, consistent look.
Yes. Our Invisible Tilt runs on gears inside the side of the panel, so the front stays clean with no rod at all.
No. Closed tight, a shutter dims a room well, but some light shows between the louvers. For a bedroom that has to be dark, your Design Specialist shows you a room darkening or blackout shade.
Very little. Clear the sills and leave the old blinds where they are, because our Install Techs take them down and haul them off with the packaging.
Yes. Tall panels get a divider rail so the top and bottom work separately, and a wide window is split into several panels sized for the material, up to 42 inches in real wood or 36 in composite and poly.
