Cottage Series
High quality with value pricing. An unbeatable combination.
Our Cottage Series plantation shutters are manufactured from solid cellular PVC (not hollow or capped) to provide the same look as wood. Solid PVC shutters are a cost-effective alternative to our Classic Series, and provide great performance in Florida climate.
Built to the same high quality standard of The Classic, The Cottage series come with 2 ½”, 3 ½” , or 4 ½” louvers, many frame options, and are painted in Sherwin Williams #7006, “Extra /White”. We invite you to check out our Cottage Series Shutters.
Louvers
The size of the louvers is a personal preference, with decor style, opening depth, and light requirements influencing the selection.
For larger windows, or for those who seek a more contemporary look, wide louvers often work best and will allow in greater levels of light. For those wanting to achieve a more traditional look, narrow louvers are a perfect choice.




Materials
High-quality wood and synthetic shutters are extremely stable and long-lived in the Florida environment. We can paint our synthetic shutters to match their wood counterparts so we maintain the same “look” in all areas. For example, wood tends to be lighter and thus better suited to larger panels, and, as a renewable resource, wood has a smaller carbon footprint. In many cases we mix the two, using wood in most areas of the home and solid PVC shutters in places such as showers.
​
There is a wide range of quality in the marketplace, from hollow vinyl panels (to reduce the cost of the expensive oil-based raw materials) to lightweight fiberboard “engineered wood” louvers. Millennium Shutters uses only the highest quality, solid raw materials and are assembled with you in mind. Our shutters will not warp or yellow over time.

Embrace a sustainable environment
Our Classic Series shutters are crafted from responsibly harvested hardwood found in private sustainable forests within the USA. They are are 100% recyclable and do not release harmful contaminants like formaldehyde, a common indoor pollutant, into your home.​
Options
Number of Panels
​
Associated with louver selection is the number of shutter panels in an opening. We can fabricate panels up to 50”, depending on the configuration, but often it is the aesthetics of multiple narrow panels versus fewer wider panels, that drive this choice.
​
Mid-Rails
​
Panels can be divided into upper and lower sections by adding mid-rails or divider rails. As a result, the louvers in each section can be opened and closed independently of each other. This is valuable in rooms like bedrooms where privacy can be controlled by closing the lower section while light can be controlled by opening and closing the upper section.
Tilt Rods
​
The louvers are normally controlled by a “tilt rod” in the center of the front of the panel. This is a very robust system but if a cleaner “look” is desired, the tilt rod may be moved to the rear of the louvers and across to one side so that the view through the shutters is unimpeded. This is known as “hidden tilt rod” or “clear view.”
​
Frames
​
It is important that shutters are mounted in a “square” environment. This squareness allows the shutters to open and close very precisely when you need to gain access to your windows.
To achieve this goal, we build a frame around the shutters so that the shutters are independent of the size and shape of the window opening. These frames are normally Z-shaped or L-shaped.
The choice is partially aesthetic and partly technical. With our local manufacturing capacity, we have a variety of options available when technical issues become the driving force behind frame selection.
