Plantation Shutters In Lenexa

Where It Fits In Lenexa
Where Plantation Shutters fit in Lenexa
Shutters belong on the houses people stay in, and Lenexa has plenty of those, from Whispering Hills to Canyon Creek.
- Picture windowsA wide front window is the face of a ranch or split level. A shutter with wide louvers finishes it from the street, and split tilt keeps the living room private.
- Golf course views in Falcon RidgeA 4 1/2 inch louver gives you the biggest view out when the louvers are open, which suits a home that backs up to the fairway.
- Steamy bathroomsComposite and poly shutters with the waterproof option handle the moisture that warps real wood, and the louvers close tight for privacy.
- Sidelights and French doorsShutters are the most functional option we have for a narrow sidelight by the front door, and French doors take a cutout built around the handle.
Worth Knowing
Materials, frames, tilt options, and the build time
We're proud to be Kansas City's leading Plantation Shutter expert, having installed thousands of shutters, and our team is skilled in planning the specialty shapes that other companies pass on. Arches, angles, octagons, circles and eyebrow arches are all built to the opening. Every panel is made to the measurements we take in your Lenexa home, with engineered stiles and mortise and tenon joints that keep the frame square for years.
Our shutters come in real wood, composite and poly. Real wood is the lightest, can be painted or stained, and matches existing stained trim, and we can match Benjamin Moore and Sherwin Williams colors. Composite and poly are painted only, slightly heavier, less likely to warp, and easy to clean, with a waterproof option for wet rooms. If your casing has depth, a hang strip or direct mount keeps your trim as the focal point. L frames, Deco frames and Z frames are there for windows that need one.
Tilt options include a standard tilt rod, an offset rod, a true Invisible Tilt with a gear driven system in the stile, and split tilt with a divider rail. Shutters tilt rather than lift, so they aren't the pick for a window you want fully bare every morning. They take 8 to 10 weeks from order to install, because every panel is built to your measurements, and free paper temporary shades cover your Lenexa windows in the meantime. The consultation is free and your quote holds for 180 days.

Tilt Options
Four ways to tilt Plantation Shutters in Lenexa
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 Lenexa homeowners
They're one of the best investments for a house you plan to stay in. Shutters are a built in feature that stays with the home, add real curb appeal, and can raise its value when you sell. Our Carefree Guarantee also transfers to the next owner.
Yes. Your Design Specialist measures every opening on site, and each frame is built to those numbers. Where a crank handle or a lock sits in the way, the louvers get a buildout so they don't rub, and we check cranks, locks and screens before we order.
Yes. Wood and composite shutters have a high insulation value, and closed tight they block a lot of light, so the room holds its temperature better against a cold window in winter and a hot one in summer.
Yes. A real wood panel runs up to 42 inches wide, and a composite or poly panel up to 36, so a wider opening gets two or more panels. Any panel over 78 inches tall needs a divider rail, which also lets the louvers above and below it tilt separately.
Yes. Doors get shutters three ways: bi-fold panels, sliding panels, or a French door cutout built around the handle. Bi-fold panels top out at 26 inches wide in real wood and 24 in composite and poly, so a wide slider in a Lenexa home is a sliding panel job.
Yes. Shutters run 8 to 10 weeks from order to install, compared with 4 to 6 weeks for our interior blinds and shades. Every panel in the same room is ordered at the same height so the louvers line up, and most Lenexa installs are done in less than a day.
