Are you looking for a window treatment that goes well with any decor, is sophisticated, and has timeless appeal? Then you’re looking for shutters. Plantation shutters are one of the most popular window coverings for a wide variety of reasons. At Harmony Blinds and Shutters, we carry the top brands, including Hunter Douglas, Norman®, and Alta, and we’re ready to show you why shutters are an excellent choice for your home.
Star of the Window Treatments World
Why are window shutters so popular? Where should we start? The most obvious reason is their aesthetic appeal. Shutters have timeless allure and a classic look that’s never out of style. You can choose from several sizes, materials, and finishes, as well as inside or outside mounts.
- If you live in a busy neighborhood, you know that privacy is at a premium, and this window treatment provides maximum coverage. Regardless of what material you choose, shutters are always opaque which means no unwanted eyes can see through into your home. You can also enjoy sunlight without sacrificing your privacy. Did we mention the awesome ventilation provided by window shutters? Simply adjust the louvers to your desired angle and you’re good to go.
- Are you familiar with the annoying rattling some window treatments make when your windows are open and there’s a breeze? Of course you are. With shutters, that’s never a problem. Since they are constructed of solid material they don’t move in the wind, saving you from bothersome noises.
- When you invest in custom window fashions you expect your investment to last for several years. Shutters are incredibly durable, especially those from high-end brands. And since they never go off-trend you can keep them for decades.
- Another great reason to choose shutters is that they’re easy to clean, especially if you opt for wider louvers. A quick wipe with a soft, dry cloth is all it takes for regular cleaning. Shutters are also cordless, so they are much safer than corded window coverings. If you have young children or pets in your home, you realize the value in having the safest products you can.
Wood Shutters
Hardwood shutters are the most purchased variety by far because they add rich character and warmth to your rooms. Natural wood is an excellent insulator and will help keep your home at a comfortable temperature all year long. The wood used to create shutters today is also rapidly renewable, so your purchase isn’t harming our environment.

Hunter Douglas Heritance® Hardwood Shutters

Norman® Ultra Shutters
Norman® Ultra Shutters
For more robust wood shutters, consider Norman® Ultra Shutters. These shutters are made with 30% more wood for added strength. Both styles are made using mortise and tenon joints that create a tighter fit without the use of additional screws or fasteners.
Faux Wood Shutters
Hardwood looks fantastic in any room but certain spaces, like kitchens and bathrooms, are not hardwood friendly. High amounts of moisture and humidity can cause your wood shutters to warp and bend. A spot near the kitchen stove or sink can also cause your plantation shutters to be splashed with food or grease which will require more frequent cleaning. In these spaces you can enjoy the appearance of authentic wood paired with the durability of manufactured products.
Alta® Eclipse Polyresin Shutters
Eclipse Polyresin Shutters from Alta are Greenguard® certified so you can breathe easier inside. They are also guaranteed to never crack, chip, peel, or warp from exposure to heat and humidity. You can also rest easy knowing that your home’s interior is protected from 99% of damaging UV rays when the louvers are fully closed. When your interior shutters need cleaning it’s quick and easy using a damp cloth and a mild dish soap.

Norman® Woodlore Plus Alternative Shutters
Woodlore® Plus Shutters from Norman® take strength and durability to the next level by using ABS for its louvers.

The louvers are reinforced with an internal support system that mirrors wing spars of aircraft for extreme stability and strength.
