Benefits of 3½" Plantation Shutters

Plantation shutters with louvers of 3½" wide are the perfect choice for windows that open to a beautiful view, but some privacy is also desired.
They also work well for doors and room dividers. Their medium width louvers allow for increased visibility and a much clearer view than the smaller traditional shutters, though not as open a view as the wider 4½" shutters provide. When the louvers are in the closed position, complete privacy can be attained.
