We have used plantation shutters in several homes and always been pleased. But pick the material carefully.

In TV we used 48 Hour Blinds and have been very happy since they were installed 3.5 years ago. For plantation shutters it will take about a month, not 48 hours for delivery and installation.

Things to keep in mind: all wood shutters will warp in the heat/sun, as will vinyl and some plastics. . We decided on a coated aluminium that is more forgiving in this climate.
