Plantation Shutters

Plantation shutters have wide louvers. This premium window treatment mounts on your window frame. They’re often seen in white, off-white or natural stain colors. Or produced in the color of your choosing.

Blinds

Blinds have slim slats created from metal, wood, fabric or comparable materials. This economical window treatment comes in a variety of colors and materials.

Window blinds are usually operated by a pull cord, although some types are cordless.

They’re made in styles like vertical blinds or horizontal blinds.
