After recently purchasing a house, I was interested in outfitting my family room with plantation shutters. The windows in my house are quite large (48" wide), and it was hard to find a company who would manufacture single panel shutters to fit larger windows. I soon discovered Austin Window Fashions, and decided to visit their showroom. I was greeted by Jeff Edgar who was pleasant to talk with and very knowledgeable. He explained to me how their shutters are constructed and why they were capable of manufacturing single panel shutters to accommodate my larger sized windows. As a person with an engineering background, I was impressed with their construction. He even gave us a tour of the manufacturing facility behind the showroom to show us how they were assembled and finished. Now when I look at shutters at other stores, I can clearly see what he was talking about. So far I haven't found anything built to the same quality as the shutters I have bought from them.
