Innovative Technologies for Interior Shutters

Plantation interior shutters are a classic choice for residential window treatments; both their construction and their aesthetic have a traditional feel, though both also have a valuable place in the modern world. And interior shutters are also a favorite with designers because though they carrier a classic sense of beauty they are also extremely adaptable and can suit a range of interior design styles thanks to a large number of customizable options available. Hunter Douglas has three types of plantation-style interior shutters: Heritance® Hardwood Shutters, Palm Beach™ Shutters, and NewStyle® Hybrid Shutters. All three types of interior shutters come in a variety of colors, both stains, and paints, and can be fabricated with different louver sizes from 2.5 inches to 4.5 inches wide. But beyond aesthetic customizations, Hunter Douglas shutters house a range of state-of-the-art upgrades that make their interior shutters more user-friendly and stylish.
