Indoor shutters for windows
A shutter stays at the window when you tilt the louvres. To reach the glass behind a hinged shutter, the whole panel needs room to open.
Plantation shutters
Framed louvres with a clean, fitted finish.
Walk through one morning at the window
When you let the light in
Think about the view from your usual seat with the louvres tilted. The frame and the rails between rows of louvres remain in view.
When you open the window
Trace the path your hand takes to the latch or winder. Then look for anything on the room side, such as a tap or desk, that could get in the way of a hinged panel.
