Then when you're ready, press the "Customize & Purchase" button. Money saving tip: Each shutter order incurs a $70 oversize fee, so save money by ordering all your shutters at one time! How to OrderNeed Help?  Choose color: Daisy White, Off White, or Cream; normally it's best to match the trim or sill color.Choose louver size: 2 1/2" or 3 1/2" The 2 1/2" size is more traditional, and better-suited for Colonial and Victorian styled homes. The 3 1/2" size is more contemporary, but is perfectly fine in traditional homes. The larger the window, the more likely the 3 1/2" size is scaled better. But it is usually best NOT to mix sizes within your home.    Determine the configuration: Determine if your window sill protrudes:For each of your windows see if you have a window sill that protrudes out into the room. This will determine how your shutter's frame is designed.Determine your window depth & mount:   Window DepthMeasure from the front edge of your drywall or front edge of trim surrounding your window opening back to the first obstruction. This could be a handcrank, security device, ledge, or the window itself. Note whether this distance is 1½" or more. If so, you can select an Inside Mount. MountDecide whether you want the shutter to mount recessed within your window opening, known as an "Inside Mount", OR outside the window opening on the trim (if any) or directly on the wall, known as an "Outside Mount". We usually recommend an Outside Mount, because windows are not normally perfectly square, and Outside Mount shutters are more forgiving. Also keep in mind that if you have less than 1½" of depth in the previous step it must be an Outside Mount. Measure your windows (width & height): Available for rectangular and square windows only(specialty shapes such as arch/angle tops not available). Cafe shutters, sometimes called "half shutters" can also be made for you. They normally cover the bottom half of your window, but can be made at any height. Please specify the height of the cafe shutter, NOT the window height. Determine if you need/want a divider rail: Divider rails add strength to your shutters, and allow you to operate the top louvers independently from the bottom louvers. Note: Center line location of divider rails may vary up or down by a maximum of 1" (for 2 1/2" louver) and by 1 1/2" (on 3 1/2" louver).

"Your customer service ROCKS! Everyone who helped me was wonderful.

Your product selection is unbelievably vast. If you don't have it, then I don't need it.

Your prices are what brought me to blinds.com in the first place.

Installation on your products was as easy as can be. I spent less time hanging my window treatments then I did taking them out of the box. Which leads me to the packing of your products. The careful packaging of my orders made sure the
products were "bullet proof" during shipping."

"This is my second purchase of Plantation shutters. We sold our home and I feel the shutters was a selling factor. We are building a second home and have installed the same shutters. We have gotten many compliments on the shutters. We bought and installed them at half the cost of professional retailers. Great value."

"This is the third set of blinds I've ordered from your company. I couldn't be happier with the entire process. The variety of options, the quality of the product, the accuracy of the fit and the ease of installation.
All of my blinds are cafe height and we continue to receive compliments on how good they look.
I'd recommend Blinds.com to everyone."

"The telephone assitance (with Ann) was amazing, she was thorough and VERY patient.
They fit perfectly into both windows. I have not had them permenantly installed yet, I have a friend that will do that for me soon. so I will let you know how that goes after they are installed. I will send pictures then.
At present they fit snugly into the window (inside mount) and they look beautiful.
Thank you BLINDS. COM"

"We purchased and my wife installed these shutters throught out our house. It took longer to install than it took to unpack (we timed it just for kicks).
The shutters are well made and are perfect for our use. They are very slick vinyl, but since we have pet that like to mess with them, clean up is enhanced by the slickness.
Our only complaint was the shutters/frame pieces arrived but the box of hardware was shipped out a day later."

"I love my shutters, and although something happened with the final measurement'; the shutter frame and shutters are about 1/2 inch smaller than my opening, I love them. The opening was not enough to fret about, but it is there.

I've ordered many times from you and am reasonably sure the measurement was correct, but mistakes happen and so what.

Thanks for creating and delivering beautiful and consistently excellent service.

Keep the coupons coming"

"The shutters came quicker than I expected. Good!
However I was a little disappointed in the plastic that was used to make the shutters. I expected it to be a resin product which looks more like wood than plastic does. The fit was not perfect either but I think it is because the window is 1/4" off at the top and there was no mention of measurement for the bottom width and top width of the same 65" tall window...The shutters do look good from the outside and are ok from the inside...I just wish it was not plastic."

"You guys are FANTASTIC. I have a story to tell you.
When I placed my my second order for Plantation Shutters...there was a miscommunication and the $1,000 worth of product that was shipped to me was not EXACTLY what I was expecting. Very close, but not exactly.
My thought was....well, I guess I'm stuck with these and I'll make do. I even assumed that I was partly to blame.
When I called Customer Service to see if there was anyway to get some help with the problem, there were NO QUESTIONS ASKED. They reviewed my account and saw that the order didn't make sense based on my previous order. No excuses....just apologies.
I got the replacement order very quickly and am 300% satisfied.
You guys have terrific product, terrific service and most importantly TERRIFIC people.
I talk you up all the time and look forward to many many more purchases.
Thanks for providing old-fashioned service in a 21st century "Not my problem" society.
Bill Smith
PS....I'd love to do a testimonial ad for you....."

"We needed to replace shades in the street facing bedroom windows to eliminate light but allow us to leave the window open. These shutters arrived quickly, were fairly easy to install (they were slightly oversized as stated so we needed to purchase spacers), and look good from both inside and outside the house. Our only complaints is that the corners of the frames are not completely flush (few mm gap), and that when you close the shutters, we need to run our fingers over the shutters to get a better light seal."

"My order arrived and eight of the rods that move the louvers had been knocked off during shipping. I called and they said they would replace the damaged parts along with instructions to reinstall. One week later I get an envelope with 13 six-inch pieces of plastic that hook the rod to the louvers. No instructions. I expected replacement rods not parts to disassemble and reassemble. Looked at the rods for a minute seemed fairly simple. Took a cap piece off one end slid the damaged ones out trimmed the new ones to proper length slid them in. It takes 4 of the plastic segments to repair each rod. I have 8 damaged,only enough parts to repair 3. Back on the phone requested assembled rods. They said no would only send parts to repair. One week later I get the remaining parts and finish repairs."

"When I showed these shutters to the person installing them, he had his doubts because the windows they were going to be installed on are west facing windows. He thought that they would burn or melt.
But one year after he installed them, he is thoroughly impressed with not only the way the are not burnt, melted, or stained, but with the way they have added an aesthetic to the room that only usually comes with real wood shutters.
Wow! I am impressed as well and am recommending them to my sister-in-law who has recently moved to Arizona."

"This is my second order from blinds.com and as before the shutters arrived in record time (during the holidays) and the fitment was near perfect. (one window very un-true, necessating shims and extra mounting holes). Overall, very pleased with the quality and look of the shutters."

"We bought these shutters when we moved into our new home. It had a silled opening between the living room and kitchen that we wanted to close off to keep our 3 cats out of the kitchen. I ordered these shutters because it sounded like they would be easy for my husband to install and they were a very good price. I wasn't really sure what I would actually be getting, but when they arrived I was very pleased. They were attractive, looked like good quality and operated smoothly. They were easy to assemble and install and my husband had them up in no time. They fit perfectly in the opening (and I even did the measuring to order them myself) and look like custom-made shutters that would be much more expensive than these were. They are very durable and have taken the abuse of our 3 grandchildren opening and closing them on a continuous basis, but look none the worse for wear! They are easy to clean--I just wipe them down with a damp sponge and multi purpose cleaner. We are VERY pleased with all the features of these shutters from the looks, ease of installation, durability and cost, and would definitely recommend this product to anyone who is interested in custom shutters."
