| Why Shutters? |
| •
Looks • Light Control • Insulation • Life Expectancy |
|
Shutters deliver the "goods." GREAT looks, GREAT light control, GREAT insulation and GREAT life expectancy. The most important value of Plantation shutters is their extreme durability.
Draperies, curtains and blinds will succumb to normal wear and tear. Thermalite remain in their original high quality state for
years to come. Light control can vary from opening the
plantation shutters away
from the window for a full view, to closing all plantation shutters and louvers
for an almost black-out effect. |
|
Shutters have been used as an adjustable
window covering for centuries. The look is clean and the design is
functional. Opened louvers allow high light penetration. Adjusting the
louvers varies the light penetration down to full closure. Shutters
provide a finished look .
|
|
Considering Shutters for your home? Let me help educate you on the
benefits of Thermalite Shutters. Thermalite is made of an extruded
foam. Thermalite is a 100 percent non toxic solid material designed
to be unaffected by the weather. Shutters can be used indoors as well as outdoors. Plantation shutters can be installed on a lanai or used around a pool for privacy. Thermalite Shutters were designed for the most particular wood shutter customer. They truly look and feel just like wood. Even people in the industry have a hard time telling the difference. Thermalite Shutters have an exclusive reinforced louver. This reinforced louver will allow you to go up to a thirty-eight inch panel. We also offer Ultra Clear shutters. Ultra Clear plantation shutters have eliminated the tilt bar altogether. Ultra Clear plantation shutters have an invisible internal mechanism that allows you to adjust all of your louvers by simply touching one. Ultra Clear shutters can be divided into as many different sections as you would like. Perhaps just two sections to allow the bottom to be closed for privacy and the top left open for light, perhaps more. Really, the possibilities are endless.

Pronunciation is often disputed, most prefer Anna Mar-EE-a, but the old timers like Anna Mar-EYE-a. Apalachicola, Franklin County -- The word probably comes from the Hitchiti Indian words "apalahchi" (on the other side) and "okli" (people). Together word may mean "those people residing on the other side or shore." Arcadia, De Soto County -- The Rev.

Cross City, Dixie County -- Two public roads crossed at this point, one coming from Perry to old Archer and the other from Branford to Horseshoe. W.H. Mathis, who decided on the name, wanted the location to be thought of as more than just crossroads.
