Are polyresin plantation shutters fade resistant?
Yes—polyresin plantation shutters are highly fade resistant, built to handle strong sunlight, UV exposure, and humidity without yellowing, cracking, or peeling. For coastal homes in Myrtle Beach and Conway, this makes them one of the most reliable long-term options.
What is the difference between shutters and plantation shutters?
Plantation shutters have wide louvers (2.5 to 4.5 inches), a clean modern look, and better light control. Traditional shutters have smaller slats and a more dated colonial appearance. Today, most homeowners mean plantation shutters when they say shutters.
Can plantation shutters be installed outside mount?
Yes. Outside mount means the frame installs on the wall outside the window opening. This works when window depth is too shallow, you want a larger appearance, or you are covering irregular openings. Professional measuring determines the best approach.
How are plantation shutter measurements taken?
Accurate measurements account for frame type, mount type, window depth, squareness of the opening, and obstructions like handles or trim. Even small mistakes cause light gaps and misalignment. Professional measuring prevents costly errors.

What are bi-fold plantation shutters?
Bi-fold shutters fold in sections for wider openings. We typically do not recommend shutters for sliding glass doors because they look bulky and get in the way. For doors, cellular shades are a better choice—they move easily, take up less space, and provide insulation.
Are plantation shutters good for coastal homes?
Yes. Plantation shutters perform well in high humidity, strong sun exposure, and salt air conditions. They provide excellent light control, long-term durability, and a timeless coastal look.
Do plantation shutters add value to your home?
Yes. Shutters are considered a permanent upgrade that can increase perceived home value, improve energy efficiency, enhance curb appeal, and appeal to future buyers.
