Specialty Shutters for Florida Homes

Not every window is a standard rectangle.

Florida homes can include arches, curves, transoms, large openings, French doors, sidelights and other architectural features that require a custom window-treatment solution.

Plantation Shutters Florida Inc. designs custom plantation shutters for standard and specialty windows throughout Florida.

Custom Shutters for Unique Windows

Specialty plantation shutters are designed around the shape and dimensions of the individual opening.

Custom applications can include:

Arched windows
Curved windows
Circle windows
Half-moon windows
Transom windows
Corner windows
Sidelights
French doors
Large windows
Floor-to-ceiling openings

The goal is to create a shutter that fits the architecture rather than trying to adapt a standard product to an unusual opening.

Arched and Curved Windows

Arched and curved windows can become a focal point of a room, but they can also be challenging to cover.

Custom shutters can be designed around the shape of the opening while maintaining the appearance of the rest of the home's window treatments.

Depending on the design, the shutter may incorporate a fixed or specialty-shaped section combined with an operable panel.

French Doors and Sidelights

Windows in and around doors require careful consideration because the shutter must work with the door's operation and hardware.

Custom plantation shutters can be designed for:

French doors
Door sidelights
Entry doors with glass
Interior doors
Large door openings

Clearance around handles, hinges and other hardware is considered during the design and measuring process.

Sliding Glass Doors

Large sliding glass doors require a different approach from standard windows.

Depending on the opening, options can include:

Tracked shutters
Bypass shutters
Bifold shutters
Custom shades

The right system depends on the available space, how frequently the door is used and the desired appearance.

Wood Specialty Shutters

Hardwood plantation shutters can be customized for many specialty applications.

The natural appearance of wood can complement custom architectural details, flooring, cabinetry and interior trim.

Painted or stained finishes can be selected to coordinate with the room.

Ultra-Poly Specialty Shutters

Ultra-Poly shutters provide another option for custom applications where durability and moisture resistance are important.

They can be considered for kitchens, bathrooms, coastal properties and other areas where humidity may be a concern.

The appropriate material depends on the specific window and environment.

Custom Louver and Tilt Options

Specialty shutters can also be customized with different operating features.

Depending on the application, options may include:

Different louver sizes
Hidden tilt rods
Front tilt rods
Clear-view configurations
Offset tilt systems
Split rods
Custom frames

These details allow the finished shutter to match both the appearance and function of the window.

Why Accurate Measuring Matters

Specialty windows require careful measuring because the shape and dimensions of the opening directly affect the finished shutter.

Measurements may need to account for:

Window width
Window height
Window depth
Angles and curves
Trim
Hardware
Door clearance
Panel operation

Professional measuring helps ensure that the final product is designed for the actual opening.

Specialty Shutters for Florida Homes

Custom shutters can be used in many Florida properties, including:

Coastal homes
Waterfront residences
Golf communities
New construction
Luxury homes
Condominiums
Traditional homes
Contemporary residences

A specialty window does not have to mean giving up a coordinated window-treatment design.

More Than Standard Window Coverings

When a home contains unusual windows or large openings, the best solution may combine several products.

For example, a home could use hardwood plantation shutters throughout the main living areas, Ultra-Poly shutters in moisture-prone rooms, and motorized shades for large or difficult-to-reach windows.

This approach allows each window to have a solution appropriate to its function.
