Which is Better, Interior Colonial Shutters or Plantation Style Shutters?
by Alphonso Sirtle
The alternative to the ever popular plantation style shutters, interior colonial shutters, looks very similar to plantation style, but with much smaller slats and width. Both styles of shutters were introduced around the same time to help with interior home temperature control. The interior colonial shutters were introduces in cooler northern climates, while the plantation style shutters were introduced in the more tropical climates. The biggest differences between the two styles are the width and length of the slats. The plantation style shutters having wider and longer slats to allow more air in during the warmer summer months, while the interior colonial shutters being both shorter and narrower to better seal against the harsher northern climates.

Real Wood Shutters - Provide the Look While Avoiding the High Cost
by Judith Persit
Faux wood plantation shutters have substantial advantages over real wood shutters. Since they are susceptible to hot and cold variations in temperature, and usually succumb to moisture dampness, real wood shutters can warp, stretching and contracting over time according to the heat being received. This warping can lead to the fit of the shutters becoming less exact over time, and in severe circumstances can prevent the shutters from closing fully or opening in the way they should. This, of course, can make the appearance look less than desirable, and if the shutters don't close properly, then possibly your privacy is at stake.
