This is a good time to be a consumer as shutter prices have dropped as much as 20-30% in the past couple of years. If you are prudent you might save a great deal of money. We would like to give you an honest assessment of how you might do that and fully understand your plantation shutter options before you buy.  Beyond louver size, paint color, frame styles, hardware finish etc., you will have other choices you might not have considered when you started your search.

       Ninety nine percent of all plantation shutters are made from wood, fiberboard and/or plastic, the majority of which are manufactured in China. Names such as "Polywood", "Poly", "PVC", "Faux", "Composite" and many others are used in an attempt to rename or “glamorize” these products. Frequently, salespeople will guide you towards the product(s) that are most profitable for them. We like fair and honest competition and have nothing negative to say about anyone who calls themselves our competitors. That said there are many salespeople selling plantation shutters from the back of their vehicle, but unlike a manufacturer, they have little or no investment other than buying and reselling shutters for profit. 

         Energy efficiency is a real part of what you will get from our wood shutters. Shutters made from PVC never offer the R-Value (thermal resistance) of wood. We typically offer plastic shutters in shower stalls or where running water will come in contact with the shutters. Actually, all plastic/poly/vinyl shutters contain PVC and if  ignited, PVC emits toxic fumes that can be harmful or fatal.

      The truth is that wood is superior, and plastic and fiberboard are your alternatives. All three have a place, but if price is your primary concern, then we offer a dynamic fiberboard product called the WOODMORE® plantation shutter. Manufactured exclusively by us in our facility in Palm City, it is less expensive than wood or plastic. The WOODMORE® is engineered with  ASR™ Technology (Advanced Structural Reinforcement), which eliminates warping and insures dimensional stability. We are applying for "Green" status with this product as we manufacture it from sustainable forest products and implement the same environmentally friendly processes used throughout all phases of our manufacturing.

       The key here is that we manufacture shutters from all three materials so we will not try to lead you toward one or the other. We are very competitively priced on all three. 

       We'd like to keep dollars and manufacturing jobs alive in America so we hope you will contact us when you are ready for plantation shutters.        BE AMERICAN…BUY AMERICAN
