Welcome to Fort Myers Plantation Shutters. The Plantation Shutter Experts of Fort Myers.
If you are in the market for stunning, maintenance free plantation shutters look no further than AlumaCore brand poly-composite shutters. These shutters are perfect for any environment for your home.
​
Why choose our poly shutters? There are several reasons to purchase poly plantation shutters. Poly shutters are completely water proof, perfect for any area of your home. You’ll never have to worry about Florida’s high humidity effecting your shutters, a feature that painted wood shutters simply lack. The finish on a painted wood shutter is no match for the combination of warping due to high humidity and the baking heat the Floridian sun provides. Additionally, many poly shutters have an R-value of 6.0, which is 3 times greater than wood shutters, which usually have a value of only 2.0. This helps to stop the extreme Florida heat at your window to keep your electric bill lower.
We have carefully sourced our poly shutter supplier to work with – Alumacore.
AlumaCore shutters are completely reinforced with an aluminum center for stronger, wider and more durable panels backed by the manufacture’s lifetime warranty. AlumaCore’s poly shutters have a painted, baked-on finish which means they will never chip, fade or yellow over time.
​
Every Alumacore shutter is reinforced with aluminum in the louvers and stiles. In contrast, other poly shutter manufactures that offer aluminum extrusion generally add the aluminum only in shutters wider than 23-30 inches to help cut costs. These other companies’ louvers (or slats) can also be hollow rather than solid, which can lead to warping and cracking.
​
Why would one desire an aluminum reinforced shutter? The aluminum allows the louvers to be made up to 36” inches wide, meaning fewer panels in each window. The fewer the panels, the more open the window is to showcase your beautiful view. This also makes for an overall stronger plantation shutter. We build poly shutters to last a lifetime in your home.
