Custom Real-Wood Plantation Shutters in Westlake, FL
Architectural Plantation Shutters builds and installs handcrafted, real-basswood plantation shutters for the brand-new homes of Westlake — Palm Beach County's newest city. Engineered for big modern windows, intense Florida light, and the wide-open floor plans of every Minto neighborhood.
Shutters built for Florida's newest city
Incorporated in 2016 and opened by Minto Communities in 2017, Westlake is purpose-built from the ground up on 3,800 acres in central Palm Beach County — Florida's newest city, with no CDD fees, its own town center taking shape, and a $22 million Adventure Park with a lagoon pool, tower slide, and BMX pump park at its heart.
From the contemporary and modern-farmhouse elevations in The Oaks, to the luxury Atlantic Collection estates in The Woodlands, every Minto floor plan at Westlake is designed around big, light-filled windows, tall sliders to the lanai, and open great rooms. That's exactly what real-wood plantation shutters were made for — and exactly the kind of finishing detail that turns a new build into a finished home.
Architectural Plantation Shutters has been the Treasure Coast's real-wood shutter maker since 1991. We don't sell vinyl, poly, or composite, and we don't import or resell. The same family-owned team that measures your Westlake windows mills the wood, builds your shutters by hand in our Palm City factory, and installs with our own crew — then stands behind the wood and finish for life.
Why we refuse to use vinyl, poly, or composite
Many companies pushing shutters into new Palm Beach County communities ship in synthetic product because it's cheap to import. We've built exclusively with real, solid North American basswood since 1991 because — for modern Florida homes with big windows — it's simply the right material.
- Lighter & stronger: Basswood spans wider panels without sagging — critical for Westlake's oversized openings.
- Better insulator: Thick, tight-fitting wood blocks the harsh western sun and eases the load on your AC.
- Flawless finish: Real wood takes paint and stain beautifully — plastics yellow and look cheap up close.
- Specialty shapes: We mill in-house, so arched transoms, angled gables, and 12-ft sliders all fit perfectly.
From the Adventure Park to your front door
Wide louvers. Clean lines. No builder-grade compromise.
Westlake's Minto floor plans — the Cypress, Indigo, Atlantic, and Courtyard Collections — lean modern and modern-farmhouse: tall ceilings, oversized sliders, big rear-yard light, crisp white trim. The wrong window covering kills that look in a week.
We build custom 3½" and 4½" wide-louver shutters in furniture-grade basswood, finished in zero-VOC waterborne paint to match your trim exactly — so they read as architecture, not an add-on. Hidden tilt rods and divider rails keep the sightlines clean from your great room to the lanai.

We've been part of South Florida since 1991, and we know what new construction in central Palm Beach County actually looks like: 10-foot sliders to the lanai, transoms above the front entry, and bright western light pouring through Westlake's lakes and conservation areas in the afternoon.
The same local team measures your windows, builds your shutters by hand here in Palm City, and installs them — then stands behind the wood and finish for life. No middleman, no imported parts, no out-of-town subcontractors.
