why are plantation shutters considered a home improvement projects?

Hi,

I just got my windows installed and am considering putting in plantation shutters. Two of the shutter representatives stated that plantation shutters are considered as a home improvement project but not blinds. Does any one know why? Also, I've heard that they block a lot of light and make the rooms look a little darker. Is this true?

Thank you.

Why do you care what it's called? Are they telling you you'll need a permit to install them but not to install blinds?

how difficult is it to swap out a regular wood hollow closet door with a bi-fold door?? Do I need to alter the jamb at all?

Window Trim/Brick Mold Replacement

mikedesc on Jul 26, 2004

I am planning on installing some replacement Pella windows on my aluminum sided house. Does anyone know of replacement or alternates to the wooden brick molding trim around the windows. I have seen some aluminum wrap for existing brick molding but do not know how to install it and the wizzes at Menards didn't know either. Is there any aluminum filler pieces available which could be used in place of the brick molds and fill the spaces between the window frame and the siding J channels?
