Savannah Shutters - Plantation Shutters are the Key to Historic Charm
Savannah is a charming old American city, first laid out in 1733 around four open squares designated for public use. This thoughtful style of city planning gives houses surrounding this open space the unmistakable advantages of lots of unimpeded sun and breezes. However, in the often-sweltering climate of Savannah, this extra light means extra heat, which led historic architects to prominently feature several louvered exterior shutter styles in Savannah . including plantation shutters and Bermuda shutters -- in their home designs.
Wood shutters allow homeowners to control the climate of their interiors. Unlike historic exterior shutters, however, Estate Millwork louvered wood Savannah shutters have the benefit of our precision machining technology. This allows us to create exterior shutters that fit your windows exactly. We help keep your energy bills down by keeping your cool air in.
Louvered shutters, a typical feature of Savannah.s French-influenced architectural style, afford the additional control of extra ventilation -- even with the shutters closed to keep the indoors cool. Our custom Savannah, GA shutters can be ordered with either fixed or adjustable louvers, in any variety of configurations to suit the style of your project. Our website features industry-first custom shutter design tools to help you create the perfect exterior shutters for your house.

Haunted Georgia house adorned with plantation shutters
Exterior shutters have long been the traditional window dressing to evade the Southern sun and heat. Take the Frances Sorrel house, known as one of the most haunted buildings in Georgia. Featured in the opening shot of the movie Forrest Gump, the elegant green plantation shutters on this Greek Revival house are tribute to the timeless construction that made the house one of the first to be designated a state historic landmark in Georgia. These Savannah style wooden shutters are gorgeous against the red brick of the house, and are also very effective at keeping the sun from beating in on whoever might be haunting during the day. (Creepy!)
