Plantation shutters, for example, are a timeless and elegant window treatment solution. They provide superior light control, privacy, energy efficiency, and enduring beauty to any interior—but only when they’re installed the right way. Professional installation helps you maximize the benefits of your investment in plantation shutters. A well-executed installation guarantees smooth operation, a perfect fit, and long-lasting performance.

Pre-Installation Preparation

  • Measuring Your Windows: We measure the width of the window opening at the top, middle, and bottom, and record the narrowest measurement. We also measure the height of the window opening on the left, middle, and right sides, and record the shortest measurement. If your windows are uneven or out-of-square, special adjustments may be necessary during the installation process. Our expert installers can address these.
  • Choosing the Right Plantation Shutters: Choosing the ideal shutters for your home involves understanding your needs and the space's characteristics. Our consultants will guide you in selecting the correct size, style, and material for your plantation shutters. For best results, we recommend custom shutters, which offer unmatched precision and a seamless fit compared to standard, store-bought options. They are crafted to the exact measurements of your windows for superior light control, energy efficiency, and aesthetic integration.

Installation Steps

  • Frame Assembly: We begin by assembling the shutter frame components carefully, then ensure the assembled frame is level and square, adjusting as necessary.
  • Mounting the Frame: The assembled frame is securely attached to the window enclosure. We then verify that the frame is properly anchored and firmly in place.
  • Hanging the Shutters: The shutter panels are hinged to the frame. Additionally, the hinge tension is adjusted to ensure smooth and effortless shutter operation.
  • Finishing Touches: If needed, we apply sealant or paint to the installed shutters. Finally, we clean up the work area, removing any debris and disposing of packaging materials.

Post-Installation

  • Final Adjustments: We double-check the shutters' smooth operation after installation. As the shutters settle, we make sure to be on-call should minor adjustments be necessary.
  • Maintenance Tips: To make your new shutters last, regularly clean them with a soft cloth or duster to maintain their appearance. Specific care instructions vary depending on the material of your shutters (wood, composite, vinyl). Don’t worry, our team will provide clear instructions to guide you.
