Arched Plantation Shutters

Arched plantation shutters add a custom, architectural finish to windows with curved tops. Because every arch is unique, the panel shape is carefully crafted to match your specific window’s curve. A steeper, more pronounced arch means the top louvers will have a stronger curve, which not only creates a distinctive look but also changes how they operate. In these cases, the arched louvers have a more limited range of motion and a slightly stiffer feel when opening or closing. This is a natural result of the tighter curvature and is considered part of the design’s character.

These custom shutters follow the curve of your arched window for a perfect fit. The top section features gently curved louvers that may have a slightly smaller tilt range due to the arch, while the lower section operates just like standard shutters—giving you style, privacy, and light control where you need it most.

In arched shutters, the curved louvers at the top can’t fully rotate like straight louvers because their tips will contact the surrounding panel frame. This natural limitation slightly reduces their tilt range, but still allows for attractive light filtering and privacy control.

Understanding Arches

Plantation shutters bring a refined, timeless touch to sitting areas, letting you control sunlight with precision. Angle the louvers to create a soft, filtered glow for cozy afternoons or open them wide for a bright, airy feel—offering both elegance and comfort in one beautiful design.
