Everyone likes to save money -- and for homeowners today it is critical to keep their household expenses in line. That's why we have done some research and have come up with some great options for those of you who would like to install discount plantation shutters on the windows of your home --
A solid and reliable manufacturer of discount plantation shutters is Hunter Douglas. One of the products that they manufacture are Satin Wood Plantation Shutters. The set that I am looking at right now are 46" x 46". I believe that these are available for around $300. These are really nice looking shutters which are designed to be very quick and easy to install -- as well as easy to care for.
According to the manufacturer these discount plantation shutters are made from a special formulation poly-satin compound which is designed to resist the effects of ultraviolet light. The manufacturer warranties that these discount plantation shutters will never chip or peel, warp or fade in color. They can be mounted inside or outside of your window frames, and will be delivered to you completely assembled, with all of the mounting hardware and instructions included.
Another great product comes to us from Blinds.com. I am thinking about their Wood Plantation Shutters, sized 36" x 60". These are unfinished discount plantation shutters, so you will need to paint/stain them yourself. They are priced somewhere in the neighborhood of $350 or more. You can purchase these discount plantation shutters for mounting inside or outside of your wall. You can order them with white or polished brass hinges. You can also order them in two shades of white or a golden oak color. The manufacturer also offers free shipping on most products within the United States.
But what about for those of you who would really like to save money on the purchase of your plantation shutters -- by making your own? Well, I have a couple of product recommendations for you, as well. First of all, I would recommend the Woodline USA WL-2055 5-Piece Plantation Shutter Set. This is not a set of premade shutters, rather this is a set of industrial carbide-tipped bits that you can use in your own router at home. They are high quality bits, and come with a lifetime warranty from Woodline. This kit includes a set of five bits that are mounted on a 1/2" shank.
Finally, let me recommend this item to those of you who want to learn how to make your own plantation shutters: a how to do it video from The New Yankee Workshop. It is in a DVD format, and discusses all aspects of the construction of discount plantation shutters. If you can get your hands on one of these videos and watch it, you'll be given a host of information which will help you to do the job properly, minimizing waste and expense.
