After looking around for some plantation shutters I finally stumbled on these guys. Their shutters are much more affordable than any others I found as they are made from some sort of reconstituted wood and imported from China (they call it Enviroshield). They also have the sold timber ones too but as we wanted ours in white, I couldn't really see any difference in the two types. I visited them at their showroom in Richmond and then they came out to measure and quote (although they also gave me a rough quote in the store). Once I decided to go ahead, they came and did a final measurement as well. The wait was quite long as it was over Christmas but once they came, I was really happy with the result. They fit perfectly and the quality seems great. I didn't find the service in their store to be all that helpful - two staff members were talking together and only answered my questions briefly when I approached them. However, the various guys that came out to measure and install them were also very good to deal with - always on time and very helpful.

Approximate cost: $1300
