Café Shutters Offer Your Room For Stunning Looks

A half shutter delivers privacy on the bottom and leaves the top open for light and view. But, with the large louvers of plantation shutters, is it the ideal look for your Dallas windows?

The café or half-shutter look works great with the large louvers of a plantation shutter – if it’s designed correctly. That’s where the divider rail comes in.

The Divider Rail Solution

A divider rail gives your plantation shutters a completed, fully finished, feel on the window. At the same time, it lets you close the bottom louvers for privacy and adjust the top ones for light. Adjusting the top louvers is convenient during the day when the sun is stopping you from watching TV. And a 3.5” or 4.5” louver will almost disappear when opened flat, giving you plenty of space to look through. So, you won’t have to worry about sacrificing any of your view.

When it comes down to it, it’s a style choice – whether you desire the look of a half shutter or that of a full plantation shutter with a divider rail.

How Are Café Style Shutters Designed?

We start by measuring the length and width of your window, recording where it’s best to stop the shutters – for that café look. Then we go back to our store and order your hand-crafted plantation shutters according to those specifications – whether a divider rail is included or not. Utilizing a combination of cutting-edge computer software and custom design templates based on your windows, we design and make your plantation shutters in the café style – and apply the finishes and colors of your choosing.

Our professional installers will mount the café shutters on your windows. They’ll ensure the louvers can be opened and the divider rail – if included – is mobile.
