Why Shutters Cost More Than Blinds:

Blinds are mass-produced; typically using lower quality materials.


Every plantation shutter from Carolina Custom Shutters is custom made for each window by hand in the USA. They are professionally installed by the owner of the company; not a hired installer. They are a higher-quality, long-term solution.

Are plantation shutters more expensive than roller/ roman / cellular shades?

The answer to that question might surprise you.


Depending on the supplier you use and the fabrics and features chosen, roller shades can be just as expensive as plantation shutters. When shades are motorized, they're almost guaranteed to cost more than shutters.


Sometimes shades are the right choice. When they are, we'll work with you to make your vision a reality. We represent some of the best suppliers of roller / cellular shades in the US.


But... no window treatment option offers the durability, flexibility and versatility of plantation shutters.

The short answer is - YES.

They:

  • Provide light control and privacy solutions no other window treatment can offer

  • Allow you to create a warm; "golden hour" feeling any time of the day

  • Improve curb appeal

  • Significantly Increase resale value
