04/09/2025

The wood plantation shutters are a stylish plus for a residential or landscaping project, combining practical benefits with an elegant design. Indoor or outdoor shutters: Carpentier makes each piece entirely to measure, paying particular attention to details and durability.


Interior window shutters

Our thermo ash or oak shutters add a warm touch to any room, and are a flexible way of controlling light and privacy. Indoors, they work really well as plantation shutters for windows or room dividers. Thanks to our expert know-how, they blend harmoniously in a variety of settings, from residential projects to offices. What’s more, we can finish them in the colour you want, one that works perfectly with your interior, so that they fit seamlessly into the overall design.

Wood plantation shutters for glass roofs and flat roof windows

Glass roofs, rooflights and flat roof windows provide plenty of natural light, but can also lead to excessive heat and glare. With bespoke wood plantation shutters, you maintain the open style of the window but are able to completely control how much heat and light is let in. So you can combine comfort with a refined, architectural finish.

We made plantation shutters in thermo ash for a barbershop, providing protection from sun through the glass roof. This environmentally-friendly solution keeps the room pleasantly cool without compromising on light or style. It’s a great example of the added value of a wooden plantation shutter, even in business premises.

Exterior window shutters: natural protection from the sun

Outdoors, wooden plantation shutters add a unique architectural aspect while optimising indoor comfort. Exterior plantation shutters play a key role, especially in summer: they block the sun’s rays before they even reach the glass. This means the interior stays pleasantly cool, with less need for air-conditioning – a win for comfort and for energy consumption too.

So exterior window shutters provide natural sun protection outdoors, So exterior window shutters provide HOTwood ash, an ecological wood variety that guarantees stability, can withstand variable weather and is long-lasting.

Whether you opt for a discreet solution for your window or a bespoke XXL plantation shutter, with Carpentier you will get a lasting solution that blends seamlessly with any type of project: your home, a pool house, a garden office, or even larger scale residential projects and commercial buildings.

An alternative: fixed louvers

As well as plantation shutters with adjustable louvers, fixed louvers in front of a window provide a stylish and functional alternative. For this, we would suggest our Pillar Line profile in thermo pine or ash. The louvers are placed at regular intervals, creating stylish and elegant lines and a permanent sun and light filter.
