Materials for Plantation Shutters

Description:

Not all window treatments are made of study plastic or flimsy cloth and some are actually made of heavy, dark woods that often require quite a bit of muscle to raise and lower. A popular method of covering windows in today's homes is using plantation shutters which have a tendency to match almost any type of decor from modern to classic country. Hard woods like Aldar and Cedar are quite popular for plantation shutters as are some softer woods like basswood. Sometimes plantation shutters can be made of a faux wood like composite wood or may even be made of vinyl.
