Plantation Shutters, please be aware that Vinylbilt
Plantation Shutters are
custom made
to fit your windows. These are not "off-the-shelf" products that are
altered or otherwise made to "sort-of" fit.
Our ship-direct pricing is very competitive with others on the
Internet. Our low advertising costs and overhead are passed
along to you. Locally, we also beat Home Depot and Lowes when
installing comparable products. Below is a price chart
with examples from some other sources for a typical
order.
Note: we offer all the
mounting frames, colors, louver sizes, and configurations available for Vinylbilt Shutters.
Most of our competitors have limited their selections.

Find
Some Really Cheap Shutters Out There On The Internet?
Sound too good to be true?
There are web sites
that advertise "Fauxwood" Plantation Shutters for less than $13 per
square foot. What these companies do not tell you is that these are not
full dimension shutters! The panels on these shutters are only about
5/8" thick, compared to the standard of a full 1-1/4" thick panels that
you would expect on a quality Plantation shutter. Most are Chinese
imports and made of a "foam vinyl" material, not stronger solid vinyl
extrusions.
Also, some companies are advertising faux wood or polypropylene
shutters near the cost of vinyl. These shutters are made from MDF
(Medium Density Fiberboard) and are quite heavy. It is not noted on
their web sites, but most of these products are actually
made in
China
(yes, even though they are custom made), and can
take 5 to 8 weeks to be delivered.
Our vinyl shutters are made here in
the USA in 10 business days or less
. MDF shutters have
a coating that is subject to chipping, peeling, or cracking.
The color of a true vinyl shutter is throughout the material. They will
never need paint. Check our
Features
Page
for
more information.
When comparing shutter prices, note that many dealers charge extra for
various mounting frame styles, cafe style arrangements,
hidden tilt bars (if offered at all), some hinge finishes, and other
options. We have very few upgrade or option charges, which are detailed
on our
Pricing
Page
.
Most of our competitors do not even offer ByPass or BiFold door track
systems. There are no surprises with shipping charges either.
Plantation Shutter orders totaling over $500 include FREE SHIPPING (except AK and HI). Any
orders for less incur a flat $45 charge.
When comparing the per square foot cost, keep in mind that we only use the actual window opening sizes for inside mounts, even for frames that may overlap the wall, such as the Trim and Deluxe Trim frames. Many shutter companies add to the opening dimensions to account for a tip to tip frame measurement. This can add to the square footage more than you might expect. Always compare the actual cost of each shutter set, not just a per square foot cost.
If you have questions about any of the shutters you are considering, please
call us at 1-888-887-4623.
