Plantation Shutters
Classic design, meet coastal durability. Plantation shutters from Seaside Window Treatment bring timeless elegance to Charleston and Beaufort homes while standing up to Lowcountry humidity, salt air, and intense sunlight.
We serve coastal South Carolina with in-home consultations, professional measuring, and expert installation. Our team helps you choose the right material, louver size, and configuration for your windows and your needs.
What Makes Plantation Shutters Different
Interior plantation shutters are permanent window treatments mounted directly to window frames or openings. Unlike temporary shades or blinds, these are actual architectural elements that add tangible value to your home.
Custom plantation shutters are built to your exact window measurements, which is important for older Charleston homes where window sizes vary room to room and for new Beaufort construction, where large glass expanses need coverage. Their adjustable louvers give you precise control over light and privacy, offering a level of control that goes beyond what fabric treatments can deliver.
Hunter Douglas Plantation Shutters
Hunter Douglas offers three distinct shutter collections, each engineered for different priorities.
Heritance® Hardwood Shutters
Heritance® wood plantation shutters are made from genuine hardwood with dovetail construction for maximum strength.
Available in over 35 standard colors (plus unlimited custom options), Heritance® shutters suit both traditional and modern homes. Artisan techniques like glazing, burnishing, distressing, and rustic finishes create unique, handcrafted appearances.
The high-luster Finetech® finish protects against scratches while providing 99% UV protection to prevent fading. These shutters work well for formal living rooms, dining rooms, and bedrooms where the rich wood aesthetic elevates the space.

NewStyle® Hybrid Shutters
NewStyle® shutters combine real wood components with composite materials for added durability. The hybrid construction resists warping from humidity better than hardwood alone, which is important for coastal South Carolina homes.
Composite plantation shutters work well in high-traffic family areas where durability is just as important as beauty. The composite materials handle Lowcountry temperature and moisture fluctuations without the expansion and contraction concerns pure wood presents.
Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters
Palm Beach™ shutters are built from UV-resistant Polysatin™ compound, guaranteed never to warp, crack, fade, chip, peel, or discolor—it’s the Hunter Douglas Palm Beach Promise™ backed by a lifetime warranty.
Aluminum bracing inside the louvers and posts adds strength while keeping weight manageable. The DuraLux™ finish resists scratches and dents while remaining easy to clean with soap and water.
These interior plantation shutters work best in bathrooms, kitchens, and other rooms where moisture is a concern. They’re also the best choice for windows that get relentless sun exposure, such as south- and west-facing glass in coastal homes.

Alta Custom Plantation Shutters
Alta fabricates custom plantation shutters in premium composite or hardwood materials, custom-built to your exact window dimensions.
Material Options for Alta Plantation Shutters
Composite shutters from Alta combine durability with the appearance of painted wood. They are less affected by moisture and changing temperatures than solid wood, making them the best option for bathrooms and other humid environments.
Hardwood shutters feature natural grain patterns and the authentic character of real wood. Alta uses rapidly renewable hardwoods and finishes each piece to enhance unique textures.
Eclipse® Polyresin shutters offer maximum durability with a guarantee against chipping, discoloring, warping, peeling, or cracking, regardless of heat or moisture.
Alta shutters come primarily in clean white and off-white paint finishes, with neutral tones also available. Custom color matching is possible for design-specific projects.
Professional Measuring and Installation of Plantation Shutters
Because interior plantation shutters are custom-fabricated to your window’s exact specifications, professional measuring is a key step during an in-home consultation. Unlike some window treatments that can be adjusted during installation, shutters either fit perfectly — or they don’t. Our team measures precisely to ensure a proper fit every time.
Our installation process includes mounting, leveling, and testing the operation of your plantation shutters so everything functions smoothly from day one. Our team handles specialty shapes, angled windows, and the unique challenges that older homes sometimes present.
