Wood Plantation Shutters

Wood plantation shutters can be made from hardwood and softwood materials, depending on the desired characteristics of the shutters.

Many high-quality plantation shutters are made from hardwood, known for their durability and natural beauty. Hardwood for shutters includes basswood, oak, maple, cherry, and poplar. Hardwood shutters are often preferred for their strength and resistance to warping or cracking.

While less common, some plantation shutters can be made from softwood materials. Softwood shutters are typically crafted from pine, cedar, or spruce. Softwood shutters may be more affordable than hardwood options but might be less resistant to wear and tear over time.
