Plantation Shutters In Mission
Plantation Shutters in Mission, KS
Plantation Shutters are a built in feature that stays with a Mission home and adds privacy and value. The tall windows in a Mission Hills estate and the front windows of a Fairway Cape Cod both deserve something permanent, and our Solar Shield Blinds Plantation Shutters are built to each opening, in any shape or size.
Where It Fits In Mission
Where Plantation Shutters fit in Mission and Mission Hills
Shutters suit a homeowner thinking in years, whether that's a large older home in Mission Hills, a Cape Cod in Fairway or a ranch in Mission being finished room by room.
- Tall windows in Mission HillsA panel taller than 78 inches gets a divider rail, so the louvers above and below tilt on their own. The top lets in light while the bottom stays closed.
- Arches and specialty shapesAn arch over a door or a window in an older home is templated on site, and the shutter is built to the curve.
- Fairway Cape Cod frontsShutters on the front windows of a Cape Cod give privacy with the louvers tilted and look like part of the house from the street.
- Bathrooms with a tub windowComposite and poly shutters come in a waterproof build, so the window over the tub holds up to the steam.
Worth Knowing
Louvers, panel sizes and the wait for shutters
A shutter is a frame built inside the window frame, so careful measuring decides how well it closes. An older window in Mission Hills or Countryside can be out of square by a little, and your Design Specialist measures it at several points so the panels meet cleanly. We also check for anything in the way, like a crank handle or a lock, because the louvers need a buildout there so they don't rub. Every shutter in a room is built to one height, held within a quarter inch, so the louvers run level across all the windows.
Louvers come in five widths, from 1 7/8 inch through 2 1/2, 3 and 3 1/2 up to 4 1/2 inch. The smaller sizes look right on the modest windows of a ranch or Cape Cod, and the larger ones open up the view on a tall window in a Mission Hills living room. Shutters come in real wood, composite and poly, and a real wood panel goes up to 42 inches wide, while composite and poly go to 36. Invisible Tilt hides the tilt rod, and split tilt lets the bottom close for privacy while the top stays open.
Shutters tilt instead of lifting, so a wide slider is better served by sliding panels or a shade, and we'll tell you that up front. Plan on 8 to 10 weeks from order to install, against 4 to 6 for interior shades, because each panel is built to your numbers. The consultation is free, the quote is itemized at your house and held for 180 days, and our own full time Install Techs fit every panel.

Tilt Options
Four ways to tilt Plantation Shutters in Mission
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 Mission homeowners
They can. Shutters are treated as part of the house, they stay when you sell, and they show in the listing photos, which is why they can lead to a higher property value. On a large older home they also suit the architecture.
Yes. Any panel over 78 inches tall gets a divider rail partway up, and the louvers above and below it tilt separately. That's how the tall windows in an older Mission Hills house get privacy at the bottom and light at the top.
Yes. A 2 1/2 or 3 inch louver keeps the proportions right on the smaller windows of a Fairway Cape Cod or a Mission ranch. The 3 1/2 and 4 1/2 inch sizes belong on taller glass, and we bring samples of each.
Yes. Arches, angles, octagons and eyebrow arches are all shapes we build, each one measured and templated on site. The finish matches the shutters below, so the window reads as one piece.
Yes. Composite and poly shutters come in a waterproof build made for bathrooms and laundry rooms. Real wood can warp near a shower, so that's where the waterproof build goes.
Yes. Each panel is made to your measurements, so shutters need 8 to 10 weeks from order to install, while interior shades need 4 to 6. Free paper temporary shades cover the windows while you wait.
