Wood vs. Composite — Honest Guidance for Lake Nona Homes
When real wood is the right specification
Natural grain, warm finish, the premium material for formal living rooms, dining rooms, and primary bedrooms in climate-controlled spaces. Real wood performs correctly in rooms with consistent AC and no direct humidity exposure. The right choice when the finish quality of the material matters as much as the function.
When composite is the right specification
Engineered to resist moisture, humidity cycling, and UV without warping or fading. Right for kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and any window in an open-plan space where the kitchen and living area share the same window wall. Lake Nona's open floor plans frequently put kitchen windows and living room windows on the same wall — composite handles that exposure correctly.
The practical answer for most Lake Nona homes
Most Lake Nona homes end up with a mix — composite in the wet rooms and open-concept spaces, real wood in the formal or primary rooms where climate is consistent. We make that recommendation per window at your consultation, not as a blanket rule. Samples of both materials in all louver sizes are brought to every free in-home consultation.
Plantation Shutter Styles We Install
Not all plantation shutters are the same — know this first.
Standard Louver — 3.5 Inch
The most common louver size. Clean, classic look that works in virtually any room. Provides good light control and a traditional plantation shutter appearance. Most affordable option.
Best for: bedrooms, living rooms, most standard windows.
Wide Louver — 4.5 Inch
Larger slats that let in more light when open and offer a broader, more contemporary look. Increasingly popular in newer Central Florida homes with larger windows and open floor plans.
Best for: large windows, modern interiors, rooms where the view matters.
Café Style — Lower Half Only
Shutters covering only the bottom half of the window. Gives you privacy at eye level while keeping the top of the window fully open for natural light. A popular choice for street-facing rooms in Orlando neighborhoods.
Best for: dining rooms, street-facing windows, rooms where privacy and light both matter.
Full Height
Shutters covering the full window from top to bottom. The most popular option for Florida homes — complete light control, complete privacy, clean appearance from both inside and outside.
Best for: bedrooms, bathrooms, any room where full coverage is the priority.
Bypass & Bi-Fold for Sliding Doors
Standard shutter panels don't work on sliding glass doors. We install bypass and bi-fold configurations specifically designed for sliders and large openings — a common need throughout Central Florida homes with rear lanais and pool access doors.
Best for: sliding glass doors, wide openings, lanai access points.
