Custom plantation shutters in Brea

Brea sits at the northern edge of our Orange County service area, 26 to 27 miles from our Lake Forest factory and about half an hour on the 57. The Brea homes that come to us tend to fall into a few patterns: the Olinda Village and Tonner Hills hillside neighborhoods near Carbon Canyon Regional Park, with their custom-built homes and strong east-west sun; the Country Hills and Birch Hills tracts with consistent newer-build floor plans; and the La Floresta master-planned community on the west side.

For most Brea homes, real basswood plantation in white with a 3.5-inch or 4.5-inch louver is the most-asked-for combination. The louver size depends on the opening scale: 3.5-inch for typical bedrooms and bathrooms, 4.5-inch for the larger great rooms in the Tonner Hills and Olinda Village customs.

For the hillside homes near Carbon Canyon with strong afternoon sun, our Polylux hybrid handles the heat and UV better than basswood over the long term. Even with our ten-step finish, real wood eventually shows wear in a room that gets six hours of direct western sun every day.

The drive is long enough that we schedule Brea installs as full-day jobs. Once measured, most full-home projects ship and install in three to five weeks. The crew that builds the panels installs them.
