Plantation Shutters In Washington
Plantation Shutters in Washington, IL
Plantation Shutters are made for a house you plan to stay in, and once they're up they become part of the home itself. Our Solar Shield Blinds Plantation Shutters are built to the exact measurements we take at each window, whether that's an older opening near the Square in Washington, Illinois or a newer one in Cypress Ridge or Metamora.
Where It Fits In Washington
Where Plantation Shutters Make Sense In Washington
Shutters are built in, so each one is planned around the window's shape, depth and hardware.
- Older Windows Near The SquareAn opening that's out of square gets a frame chosen to fit it, from a hang strip to an L, Deco or Z frame, after we measure it on site.
- Front WindowsOpen louvers let light in and keep a clean, even look from the street, which makes shutters our first choice for a window facing the sidewalk.
- Arches And Specialty ShapesArched tops and other shapes in newer homes can be shuttered to match the rectangular windows beside them.
- Sliding Patio DoorsBi-fold panels top out at 26 inches wide in real wood, so a wide slider gets sliding panels that glide across the door.
Planning Your Shutters
Real wood, composite or poly, built to every opening
Real wood is the lightest material and the one that takes a stain, with panels up to 42 inches wide. Composite and poly run up to 36 inches per panel, come in painted finishes, resist warping, and offer a waterproof option for bathrooms and laundry rooms. We can also match custom paint and stain colors from Benjamin Moore and Sherwin Williams.
Every shutter in a room is planned together so the louver lines stay level from window to window. Any panel over 78 inches tall gets a divider rail, which lets the top and bottom louvers tilt on their own, so you can keep the bottom closed for privacy and the top open for light.
From order to install, shutters run 8 to 10 weeks, since each panel is made to the numbers we take in your Washington home. Free paper temporary shades cover the glass in the meantime, and the Carefree Guarantee stays with the house if you ever sell.

Tilt Options
Four ways to tilt Plantation Shutters in Washington
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 Washington homeowners
Yes. We measure every opening at your house, and on an opening that's out of square we choose the frame and mount that hide it best. Your Design Specialist will point out any window where a direct mount would show the gap.
No, as long as it's planned for. We check every crank and lock before ordering, and where the louvers would hit one, we add a buildout to give them room.
Yes. Composite or poly with the waterproof option is made for a bathroom, a laundry room or anywhere with steam, where real wood can warp.
Yes. Invisible Tilt uses a gear inside the side of the panel, so there's no rod on the louvers. A standard rod, an offset rod, or a split tilt for the top and bottom are also available.
No. They dim a room well when closed, but a thin line of light comes through between the louvers. For a dark bedroom, your Design Specialist will show you a blackout shade for that window.
Yes. Synchrony financing is available with up to 18 months at 0% interest. Your quote is itemized window by window first, so you know the full cost before you apply.
