Plantation Shutters for Arched & Specialty Windows

Sarasota's newer homes and upscale communities love architectural windows — grand arches over entryways, angled transoms, and geometric accent windows. They are beautiful, and notoriously hard to cover. Plantation shutters are one of the few treatments that can be custom-built to the exact shape, giving even the trickiest window a finished, tailored look while still matching the shutters throughout the room.

Arches: Operable or Fixed

• Operable arch — the arched top has working louvers you can tilt, giving full light control across the whole window.
• Fixed sunburst — the arch is a decorative panel with louvers radiating from a center hub, paired with an operable shutter below. A stunning architectural statement.
• Both are custom-milled to the exact radius of your arch for a precise fit.

Angles, Hexagons, and Geometric Shapes

Beyond arches, Norman shutters can be built for angled tops (common over sliders and in vaulted rooms), hexagons, octagons, and other geometric windows — either operable or as fixed decorative panels. If a window has a shape, there is almost always a shutter solution for it.

Why Templating Matters

Specialty shapes leave no room for error — a fraction of an inch off on an arch radius shows immediately. This is where professional measurement earns its keep. We template each specialty opening precisely so the finished shutter follows the exact curve or angle of your window.
