California & Plantation Shutters · Toronto & the GTA
California & Plantation Shutters in Toronto
Made-to-measure plantation shutters in the wood, vinyl, or PVC that suits each room — built to your exact windows and installed by hand. Timeless, architectural, and quietly premium.
The difference made-to-measure makes
California shutters — also known as plantation shutters — are the same timeless window treatment: wide, adjustable louvers set in a made-to-measure frame. Off-the-shelf shutters come in fixed sizes and rarely sit right. We start from your window instead: measuring precisely, helping you choose the material and louver size for each room, and building every panel to fit the exact opening. The result is calm control over light and privacy — and because the fit is seamless, the whole room feels more finished.
Made to measure
Every panel is measured, manufactured, and installed to fit your window exactly — no gaps, no filler strips.
Precise light & privacy
Tilt the louvers for soft, filtered daylight, or close them fully for complete privacy — all without lifting a thing.
Year-round insulation
Solid louvers add a layer at the glass, keeping rooms cooler in summer and warmer through Toronto winters.
Lifetime warranty
Furniture-grade materials, professionally fitted and backed for life. No hidden fees, no jargon.
California vs. plantation shutters: what's the difference?
Honestly, less than you might think — they're the same style of shutter, and the two names are used interchangeably across Toronto and the GTA. The only real difference is the width of the louver (the horizontal slat you tilt for light).
Because we make every panel to measure, you're never locked into one or the other. We'll recommend the louver size that flatters each window and keeps a consistent look through your home — something we're happy to walk through at your free in-home consultation.
Three materials, one exacting standard
Every Starlight shutter is built to the same precise fit and finish. The difference is the material — each suited to different rooms, light, and budgets. We help you match them room by room.
Wood Shutters
Premium basswood with a furniture-grade finish. The warmest, most refined option — ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, and feature windows where you want real timber character.
Explore wood shutters →Vinyl Shutters
Durable, moisture-resistant, and beautifully clean-lined. A versatile, value-driven choice that holds its colour and shape in any room.
Explore vinyl shutters →PVC Shutters
Fully waterproof and built for humidity. The smart pick for bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms — crisp white louvers that won’t warp, crack, or fade.
Explore PVC shutters →Built for every window, every room
From a single clean run of louvers to split panels and custom shapes — your shutters are configured around how you actually live in the room. We recommend the right style when we measure.
Full-Height
A single, uninterrupted run of louvers from top to bottom — clean, architectural, and our most popular configuration.
Tier-on-Tier
Two independent panels stacked vertically, so you can open the top for light while keeping the bottom closed for privacy.
Café-Style
Louvers on the lower half of the window only, leaving the top open. A relaxed, sun-filled look loved in kitchens and street-facing rooms.
Special Shapes
Arched, angled, and circular windows — measured and crafted to fit precisely. No gaps, no compromise.
Quiet luxury that works as hard as it looks
Shutters aren’t just a look — they change how a room feels to live in, day and night, summer and winter. Here’s what they earn their place doing.
Precise light & privacy
Tilt the louvers to filter soft daylight, or close them fully for complete privacy — the room adjusts to the hour without a cord in sight.
Year-round insulation
Solid louvers add a layer at the glass, helping keep rooms cooler through summer and warmer against the cold off Lake Ontario in winter.
Lasting home value
A permanent, built-in upgrade that buyers notice — shutters stay with the home and quietly lift its sense of quality.

Everything you need to know
From choosing a material to booking a measure — here’s what our clients ask most about California and plantation shutters.
Book a free consultation →MaterialsWhat’s the difference between California shutters and plantation shutters?
They’re the same product. Both describe interior shutters with wide, adjustable louvers. Some people use “California” for the narrower louvers popular in condos and “plantation” for the wider louvers seen in larger rooms — but we custom-size the louvers to suit your window either way.
MaterialsWhich material should I choose — wood, vinyl, or PVC?
Wood is the most premium and warm, ideal for living rooms and bedrooms. Vinyl is a durable, great-value all-rounder for almost any room. PVC is fully waterproof and best for bathrooms, kitchens, and high-humidity spaces. We help you match the material to each room during your free consultation.
MaterialsWhich shutter configuration is right for my window?
Full-height suits most windows and gives a clean, architectural run. Tier-on-tier lets you open the top for light while the bottom stays closed for privacy. Café-style covers the lower half only for a relaxed, sunlit look, and special shapes handle arched, angled, and circular windows. We recommend the best fit for each room when we measure.
Cost & QuoteHow much do California shutters cost in Toronto?
Pricing depends on the size of your windows, the material, and the configuration. Because every panel is made to measure, the most accurate way to get a price is a free in-home measure — there are no hidden fees, and the quote is yours to keep.
Cost & QuoteIs the consultation and quote really free?
Yes. We bring the showroom to you — samples, material advice, and a precise measured quote — anywhere across Toronto and the GTA, with no pressure and no obligation to buy.
Sizing & InstallationDo you measure and install, or just supply the shutters?
We handle everything: measuring at your free consultation, manufacturing to your exact openings, and professional installation — factory-direct, so you get a precise fit and designer quality without a showroom markup.
Sizing & InstallationHow long does installation take?
Most measures take under an hour. Once your shutters are manufactured, installation for a typical home is usually completed in a single visit.
Sizing & InstallationCan you make shutters for arched, angled, or bay windows?
Yes — arched, angled, circular, and bay windows are a specialty. Each panel is measured and crafted to fit the exact shape, with no gaps and no compromise on the look.
Rooms & SuitabilityAre California shutters suitable for humid rooms like bathrooms?
Yes — choose PVC or vinyl for bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms. They’re moisture-resistant and won’t warp, crack, or discolour, so they hold their finish in steam and splashes.
Rooms & SuitabilityDo California shutters help with insulation?
They do. Solid louvers add a layer of insulation at the window, helping keep rooms cooler in summer and warmer through Toronto winters, and softening drafts off the glass.
Safety & CareAre they child- and pet-safe?
Yes. Shutters have no hanging cords, which makes them one of the safest window treatments for homes with young children and pets.
Safety & CareHow do I clean and care for my shutters?
A quick dust with a soft cloth or a vacuum brush keeps them looking fresh. Vinyl and PVC can also be wiped with a damp cloth. There’s no fabric to launder and no cords to tangle, so upkeep is genuinely minimal.
Safety & CareHow long do California shutters last?
Built from furniture-grade materials and installed properly, shutters are a permanent, built-in upgrade that lasts for decades — which is why they’re backed by our lifetime warranty and tend to stay with the home.
