Wood vs. Composite — The Right Call for Winter Park

Real wood plantation shutters are the appropriate choice for climate-controlled interior rooms in Winter Park homes — formal living rooms, dining rooms, home offices, and master bedrooms where AC runs consistently and humidity is not a variable. The natural grain, weight, and finish of real wood reads differently in a high-end interior than composite does — particularly in Olde Winter Park's historic homes where the material quality of every finish detail is visible. Wood shutters in these rooms justify the premium and hold up correctly in a controlled indoor environment.

Composite is the right call for bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, and any window with direct exposure to Florida's outdoor humidity — including lake-facing windows in lakefront homes. The daily cycle of humid outdoor air and AC-cooled indoor air causes real wood to absorb and release moisture, which leads to warping and finish stress over time. Composite polymer construction doesn't respond to moisture cycles. We recommend composite for every room where humidity is a variable and real wood for rooms where it isn't. That assessment happens per window during your 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.
