interior cafe shutters - lasting style & function

Half-window shutters are a type of window covering that is designed to cover the bottom half of your windows while leaving the top half exposed. Half window shutters are popular for interior windows in bathrooms, kitchens, and other rooms where homeowners would like to allow full light and views in on the top half of the window, while offering privacy and security for the bottom half.  Plantation shutters are also easy to clean and maintain, making them ideal for any room in your home. 

Cafe-style plantation shutters often have wider slats that provide greater light control and visibility. They also offer classic, timeless decor, complementing any Austin home's interior design. Another option is the traditional café shutter style, which features narrow slats that provide more privacy while still allowing natural light to filter in.

In addition to providing privacy and natural light, our half-height plantation shutters offer a range of benefits, including insulation, noise reduction, and energy efficiency. They are easy to maintain and clean, and they are durable enough to last for years, making them a great investment for your home.

custom crafted for your windows right here in Austin, Texas

At Southern Shutters, we exclusively use basswood to create our plantation shutters right here in our exclusive shutter factory in Manor, Texas. Basswood is a beautiful, long-lasting wood that is ideal for premium quality plantation shutters. The fine grain and pore size allow it to be sanded down to a luxurious, smooth finish that is ideal for paint or stain. It also lasts a lifetime, as a lightweight wood that doesn’t bend or warp even in humid environments, such as the bathroom or kitchen.  Cheaper materials, such as laminated wood or PVC, simply don’t offer the beauty or longevity that our basswood shutters do. 

Our locally crafted plantation shutters can be expertly installed to handle all kinds of unusual scenarios. Whether you have tile window sills, window handles, tilt-in windows, casement windows, faucets, door levers - you name it, our team can custom design a seamless plantation shutter to cover your windows.

Our custom shutters ensure that your shutters are designed to be flush to the wall and do not project out, unlike cheaper mail-order shutters that are built in a standard framed box, without considering the unique trim and shape of your windows.

We also offer a wide range of selections on louver size, standard tilt or hidden tilt, divider rails, unlimited paint and stain color, perfectly matched trim options and more. You can choose from the comfort of your home, where you can visualize the beautiful end result you want.
