As you consider your plantation shutter project, it is helpful to be able to visualize what panels might look like - per specification parameters.  If you can see this in your minds eye, you are well on your way to knowing if plantation shutters are right for you.

So with that said, standard rectangular shutters can consist of one or more panels hinged in a variety of configurations. Single panels can be individually hinged, or two panels may be hinged together in a bi-fold design. All bi-fold panels are butted together and have a butterflied butt hinge attached on the back of the stiles. Maximum width for 2ea panels bi-fold poly shutters, 2L or 2R is 42” and 48” for basswood shutters.

Remember, when thinking about your panel height we recommend that panels over 96” in height have a divider rail, so that louvers will not need to be hand pressed to close.  Additionally, panels over 96” in height require a divider rail to ensure structural integrity.

One last thing , bi-fold panels (2L 2R) without a track system can only span 96” for basswood shutters and 84” for poly shutters.

We would love to help you with your shutter project.
