An Exterior Plantation Shutter are also known as storm shutters used to protect windows and doors against a strong hurricane. That includes protection from very strong winds, rainstorms and flying objects. It prevents the interior of the window such as glass from breaking. Floridians are very familiar with these kinds of shutters.
The French however has made an art form out of Plantation shutters, as these are part of the architecture of old French buildings and homes.
Exterior Plantation Shutters are made from fiberglass, aluminum, iron, PVC and full-ranged resistant plastics. Exterior Shutters can be mounted on tracks that can easily swing open or swing shut. Motorized controls can also be installed.
