By Ericka Marsh


When entering a home normally one would find that the windows are dressed with curtains that match the room's decoration as well as the personality of the people living inside. More and more prefer to use plantation shutters in Atlanta as it gives a much more open feel about the room while at the same time brightening it up as well. Plantation shutters Atlanta experts offer only the best and the craftsmanship and skills that their personnel have will guarantee perfect results each time.

When one is interested in this service they will send out a qualified consultant to visit in one's own home and this could take about an hour. This is the time for the consumer to ask many questions and also get to know the company that they could potentially be working with. They have been in business for over seventeen years and have had good feedback.

The original make was put together with fixed slates but overtime has now changed to movable louvers, allowing the air and light inside or closed out. They were also only made for the exterior of the home. Over the years this has also changed and is now acceptable and more widely used indoors.

All interior shutters are connected by a hinge on both sides of the window opening and can swing inside letting in the sun. Many working louvers can either rotate which will control the airflow as well as the visibility from both inside and outside the home. These kinds seem to be more popular in the warmer parts of the world.

Washing of shutters is so much easier as a quick wipe with a damp cloth is all it takes or a quick flick of the duster. When they get dusty it is easily noticeable whereas curtains are more difficult to see and this is where allergies could spring from. Shutters are also able to be adjusted whereas curtains can either be open or closed.

For those living on or around the coastal areas the more commonly used are the Bahama and Bermuda shutters. They are hand crafted with high quality materials and can be made either out of wood or aluminum. In some cases they are also available in fibreglass which is the more popular ones as no upkeep is needed at all. They are made for both safety and endurance and come in a wide variety of colors.

The advantage of this kind is that they are not very expensive but they do have that plastic look to them and when in sunlight will eventually turn to a yellow color and become brittle. Once they have aged it is very difficult to clean them and they are unable to be stained. Never try to burn them as the fumes are very toxic.

The foamed synthetic ones do not cost very much and they are water resistant as well as fire resistant. They will provided insulation and are not toxic. Some of the designs especially those made from polycore are reinforced with aluminium which makes them much stronger.
