California shutters, made to measure for Canadian homes

The same made-to-measure interior shutters, sized in millimetres or inches and quoted in Canadian dollars.
Arched window, level 3 moulding, paint stage 2.

California or plantation?

In Canada most people say California shutters; in the US, plantation shutters. Both mean interior shutters with tilting louvers in a hinged frame. Some sellers reserve “California” for narrower louvers, which is why we list the louver width on every order instead of relying on the name.

More on the two names

Louver widthWhere it suits
64 mm (2.5 in)Small windows and a traditional look. More louvers, so less view when open.
89 mm (3.5 in)The middle ground most windows suit.
114 mm (4.5 in)Large windows and doors. Fewest louvers and the widest view when open, but the window needs more depth.

What California shutters cost

Real prices for one window, worked out the same way as your quote.

Each is built with flat moulding, paint stage 1, 3½ in louvers, in American poplar. Before tax and shipping. Moulding, paint, louver size and colour change the price, and the designer shows it as you choose.

The wood

American poplar

Every Shutter Boys shutter is made from premium American poplar, a hardwood, painted or stained.

Every room. In bathrooms and laundry rooms, run the fan so steam doesn’t sit behind closed louvers.

Toronto and the GTA

Condo towers, older semis with out-of-square openings and new builds with shallow window returns all need different choices. What to check in GTA homes
