Since 2014, every shutter we sell has been built in our Fort Myers facility — designed, machined, painted and assembled by Floridians who understand the climate they're built to live in.
Most plantation shutter companies in Florida sell what they import. The shutters arrive on a container ship, get unboxed, and get installed. If something's wrong with the panel, your installer is also negotiating with a factory eight thousand miles away.
We took the opposite path. In 2014 we built our own factory in Fort Myers and started cutting our own panels — first for the AlumaCore composite, eventually across the full product line. Today every shutter that bears our name is built here, by us, on a floor we walk every day.
The benefits land on the customer side: shorter lead times, sharper pricing, real-time quality control, and one phone number to call if anything ever needs attention.
A walk through our Fort Myers facility, narrated by founder Tyler Leach.
AlumaCore is our proprietary shutter system. Each louver and stile is reinforced with an internal aluminum core that prevents warping, sagging and yellowing — even when the panel is hanging in front of a west-facing pool deck for two decades.
It's wrapped in a proprietary poly-resin shell, finished with marine-grade paint, and built to look exactly like a hand-painted hardwood shutter — because to your eye, it should.
Five steps, every panel, every time — without exception.
An in-home consultant measures every window to the eighth of an inch. Specs go straight to the factory floor.
Stiles, louvers and rails are cut, drilled and milled on-site. Aluminum cores are inserted before the wrap is applied.
Panels are sprayed in a controlled finishing booth using marine-grade paints and stains, then cured for full hardness.
Every panel is hand-inspected before it leaves the line. Anything that's not perfect gets pulled and rebuilt.
No middlemen. No retailers. No overseas warranty hotlines. Just a Florida-built shutter, installed by the Florida team that made it.
