Plantation Shutters In Blue Springs
Plantation Shutters in Blue Springs, MO
Plantation Shutters are built to the window, any shape or size, and they stay with a Blue Springs house as a built in feature. An arch over the entry of a 1990s two story is the window most treatments can't cover, and our Solar Shield Blinds Plantation Shutters follow that curve, add privacy, and can raise the value of the house when you sell.
Where It Fits In Blue Springs
Where Plantation Shutters fit in Blue Springs
Shutters suit the two stories in Waterfield, Plaza Estates and Stonecreek with their arches and transoms, and the new builds going up off MO 7, where every window still needs a treatment.
- Arches and transomsHalf rounds, eyebrows and angled tops over a front door get a shutter built to the shape and matched to the panels below it, so the entry reads as one piece.
- Raised ranch front windowsShutter panels give the wide upstairs window of a Kingsridge raised ranch real presence from the street, and the louvers tilt for privacy without closing off the light.
- New builds at Chapman FarmsA new house with bare windows is the easiest time to plan shutters across the whole front, so every window looks the same from the street.
- BathroomsComposite and poly shutters come with a waterproof option, so the window over the tub gets a shutter that handles steam and still looks like painted woodwork.
Worth Knowing
Shutters built to the window you have, from arches to raised ranch glass
Solar Shield Blinds has installed thousands of shutters as Kansas City's leading Plantation Shutter expert, and Blue Springs houses give us plenty of reasons to build them. The two stories in Waterfield, Plaza Estates and Stonecreek have the arches and transoms a stock blind can't follow, and the newer homes at Chapman Farms and Eagles Ridge have bare windows waiting for a treatment that lasts. Each panel is made to the numbers we take at your windows, whatever the shape or size.
Louver size changes the look more than people expect. We build 1 7/8, 2 1/2, 3, 3 1/2 and 4 1/2 inch louvers, and a larger louver gives you more view when it's open. With Invisible Tilt there's no tilt rod at all, and split tilt closes the bottom louvers for privacy and leaves the top ones open to the light. Real wood is the lightest and takes a stain, composite and poly are painted finishes with a waterproof option, and we can match Benjamin Moore and Sherwin Williams paints and stains.
Because every panel is built to your window, shutters take 8 to 10 weeks from order to install instead of the 4 to 6 weeks for shades. Until the shutters arrive, free paper temporary shades cover each window on the order. We measure every opening on site, write an itemized quote before we leave and hold that price for 180 days. Our full time Install Techs fit the shutters, haul off the old blinds and walk every room with you.

Tilt Options
Four ways to tilt Plantation Shutters in Blue Springs
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.

Yes. A 3 1/2 or 4 1/2 inch louver gives the most view when it's open, which suits a family room looking out at the back yard or a lake at Chapman Farms. Smaller louvers suit smaller windows, and your Design Specialist brings samples of each size.
