Plantation Shutters In Lansing
Plantation Shutters in Lansing, KS
Plantation Shutters become part of a Lansing house, add privacy, and stay behind as a feature when you sell. A two story in Rock Creek Estates with an arched transom over the great room needs something built to that exact curve, and our Solar Shield Blinds Plantation Shutters are made to your window, whatever its shape.

Worth Knowing
Louver size, materials and the build time for shutters
A shutter is a frame built to fit inside your window frame, so the measuring matters more than with any other product. Our Design Specialist measures each opening at several points and templates any arch or angle on site, because a panel built a little off won't close cleanly. Every shutter in a room is ordered to one height, within a quarter inch, so the louvers run level across the wall. We've installed thousands of shutters, and the specialty shapes in the newer Lansing homes are where that experience shows.
Louvers come in five sizes: 1 7/8, 2 1/2, 3, 3 1/2 and 4 1/2 inch. Smaller louvers suit the modest windows in an Oakbrook ranch, and the larger ones open up a tall window or a golf course view. Invisible Tilt hides the tilt rod, and split tilt lets the bottom louvers close while the top stays open. Real wood panels run up to 42 inches wide and composite or poly up to 36, and any panel over 78 inches tall gets a divider rail. Custom paint and stain can match Benjamin Moore and Sherwin Williams colors.
Shutters tilt rather than lift, so on a patio door where you want the glass fully clear, a sliding panel or a shade may suit you better. Shutters take 8 to 10 weeks from order to install, compared with 4 to 6 for interior shades, and free paper temporary shades go up in the meantime. The consultation is free, the quote is itemized at your table and good for 180 days, and our own Install Techs fit every panel. Basehor homeowners get the same visit.

Tilt Options
Four ways to tilt Plantation Shutters in Lansing
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 Lansing homeowners
They can. Shutters are considered a built in feature, they stay with the house when you sell, and buyers see them in the listing photos. For a family that expects to move with the next set of orders, that matters.
Yes. Arches, angles, octagons and eyebrow arches are all shapes we build, and each is templated on site so the panel follows the curve. The finish matches the shutters below so the wall reads as one piece.
Yes. A 4 1/2 inch louver gives the biggest view between the slats when they're open, which is why it's a favorite on back windows facing the course in Fairway Estates. We bring samples of each size to compare at your window.
Yes. Composite and poly shutters have a waterproof option for bathrooms, laundry rooms and garages, and they're less likely to warp than real wood in a wet room.
Yes. Plan on 8 to 10 weeks from order to install for shutters, compared with 4 to 6 for interior shades, since each panel is built to the numbers we take in your home. In the meantime, free paper temporary shades go up on each window in the order.
Yes. Every shutter has a lifetime warranty, and the Carefree Guarantee layers on five years of free defect repairs plus one Life Happens fix after an accident. The coverage goes to the next owner if you sell.
