How much light do shutters block out?
High-quality window shutters can do a great job blocking exterior light, though the extent to which light is blocked varies from one shutter style and configuration to the next. Plantation shutters are particularly effective at blocking out exterior light though perform much better when combined with interior blackout blinds.
Do plantation shutters block out all light?
While plantation shutters are capable of blocking more exterior light than conventional window coverings, they do not block out all light. If exterior light making its way into your interiors is problematic, we strongly suggest considering shutters with integrated blackout blinds.
