I'm hearing good feedback from friends who have used Village Blinds and Shutters located next to Bargains and Treasures (close to CR 466/301 intersection). Rhonda works there on Mondays and Fridays and she is very helpful. Check it out!

The advantages of the plantation shutters are they help in improving the locks of the doors. These plantation shutters are attractive and we does not need curtains as well. A part from that, these plantation shutters are long lasting.

Call Rick at 48 hour blinds for best price and service, glad I did, beautiful job and love the shutters. I was even able to get the color to match my bisque kitchen cabinets, since kitchen is open, wanted all the wood to match.
352-330-7310. Rick does the measuring, installing and is the owner. He has a good reputation on TOTV and in TV and you will not be sorry.

Firstly congrats for the new house, it is a good decision you have taken. Plantation shutters are really a good option to decorate the interiors of your house. I would suggest you to search online for good plantation shutters, make sure that to select the best one.

We got shutters for every window in our Whispering Pine in June - love, love, love 'em and Rick from 48 Hour Blinds was right on the money and timely. Absolutely no regrets and worth every single penny. His number is 352-330-7310.

We had 38 windows installed with white composite shutters installed in our new home in 2004.

The rods are attached by what looks like a small staple and it was suggested to open and close using the actual shuuter and not the rod. Good idea.

We also tinted the glass; we are in Orlando not TV.

Is tinted glass approved for use in TV?

If you are planning on putting the shutters across the glass doors and glass panels to the lanai as we were, you may want to check to determine how much sun light you will be blocking while the shutters are in the folded 'open' position. Rick at 48 Hr Blind Factory demonstrated to us that we would lose considerable day light because the plantation shutters would block the glass panels on either side when folded open to access the sliding glass doors. This may or may not be a problem for you, but Rick can demonstrate this much better than I can explain it here. He saved us considerable money and grief, because we probably would not have been happy with the results had we proceeded with purchasing and installing plantation shutters.

All our windows on our Bridgeport have shutters. Carl Siegel did a wonderful job. Our sliders to the Lanai also have shutters but they slide just like the glass doors. If you have an eyebrow window, make sure they tell you how they will cover that because most times that is left open. I love mine and they are easy to clean. Carl does a few things differently from all the other quote we had.

Plantation shutters come in a vast array of sizes, styles, and materials. Most of them are made up of hardwoods such as poplar or bass and can a have a number of finishes to add attractive look to residential and commercial properties. Plantation shutters made of rich woods are exceptionally attractive.

Plantation shutters give a magnificent look to your house, and there are lots of advantages from plantation shutters, they are fully adaptable to allow for more or less light, offer solitude, and can even have insulation benefits.

I don't like Plantation shutters because even when fully open they block light. I like to open the shades in the morning and walk around and smile at the sunshine flooding in.

I also hate vertical shades,we do have them in our bedroom slider but with translucent drapes over them and both are fully opened during the day. On our big slider, we put draperies on traverse rods.

EVERYONE is different.

I like the look of plantation shutters...but never considered they might block the Florida sun...and that may be enough for me not to use them! I often wonder if they are a lot of maintainence as far as dusting goes. I am not the most domestic hawk in the nest when it comes to dusting!
