The evolution of Plantation Shutters

The origin of plantation shutters is possibly in the Mediterranean. Shutter construction materials may have varied over the years and some shutters may have been made from marble or glass. Wood became the preferred plantation shutter construction material mainly due to cost .

Plantation shutters were originally used because they were very practical, low cost and robust. The flexibility of being able to open the shutter to let sunlight in while still offering some security made them very practical. The plantation shutters ability to control airflow into the room also contributed to their popularity.

The term plantation shutter came about when the Spanish started to colonize the Americas. Plantation shutters came with them and became common place in the large mansions prevalent on the sugar and cotton plantations.
