It started back in the 90′s and hasn’t lost any steam. Folks still love plantation shutters here in Atlanta. It seems everyone is in the game. Home Depot, Lowes, even hardware stores. People just can’t get enough of them.

What started as a practical solution to hurricanes and such in the low-country and the keys has become via cross-pollination with “cafe’ shutters”, what we now refer to as plantation shutters. They are popular all across the country now and all the major players are “all-in.” Honestly, I don’t care for them. While they are excellent insulators they are major window destroyers. Blocking 40% of a windows view at best, the plantation shutter has robbed Atlanta of its views.

Don’t get me wrong. We sell them. We sell a lot of them. So does every out of work cabinet maker and carpenter from here to Savannah. So called “manufacturer direct” outfits. Since 1994 we have watched them come and go. Riding the waves of the housing market. Obviously a lot of them are gone now. However, once housing starts to tick up, we’ll start getting the calls from the new manufacturers who used to work for so and so and now have their own facility. It’s like clockwork.
We carry two local fabricators. One has been around since the early 90′s and the other about ten years. Both are quite good at what they do and very reliable. We will stick with these guys until they stop being good or go out of business. We, of course also carry Hunter Douglas’ full line of wood, faux wood and PVC shutters. Heritance, New Style, and Palm Beach brands respectively. Our local brands are more affordable, however; our Hunter Douglas brands are backed by well … Hunter Douglas and it’s almost 100 year history.
