Custom Plantation Shutters in Ypsilanti, MI

Plantation shutters for Ypsilanti’s historic windows

Plantation shutters are louvered panels on hinges, mounted in a frame made for each window. Tilt the louvers to fine-tune light and privacy, or swing the panels open to clear the glass. Because they are built for each opening, they look like part of the architecture.

That built-in quality suits Ypsilanti’s older homes. Tall Victorian windows can take shutters with a divider rail, so you can open the top louvers for light while keeping the lower half closed for privacy from the sidewalk. Bay windows get a shutter for each section, following the shape of the bay. In bungalows and foursquares, a stained wood shutter can sit comfortably beside original trim. Older openings have often settled out of square over the decades, which is exactly why custom shutters, measured carefully, fit where off-the-shelf products won’t.

We offer real wood shutters and, as a Norman Window Fashions certified partner, Norman Woodlore® composite shutters, which resist chipping, warping and fading and suit kitchens and baths. We measure every opening, and our own team installs every shutter.
