I need some information about plantation shutters. I would like a guesstimate on their cost, either whole house (designer) or patio door. Tx.

You would need to ask the store for a real 'guestimate'.

Various brands, variable quality- variety of materials and style. Made in USA? Made in China?
You can choose slats in different widths, you can get curved tops, have bi- fold or one piece shutter openings, etc….. They can be mounted outside with a casing surround, or inside, without. You want to use your existing sill? Or have a casing on all 4 sides?
You want a rod down the middle for opening... or prefer not?……
You want stacking panels on the patio door? Like Shoji Screens? Or bifold?

See what I mean?

Try the search feature at the top of the forum page. Type in Plantation Shutters. That will give you some idea of where people buy and what their experiences were. Then do yourself a favor and go look at the various brands.
That way you can get a true idea of what's available, and what appeals to your taste and budget.

48 Hour Blinds did our whole house with plantation shutters 2 years ago. The still look wonderful, no problems, and the service was professional.
