Plantation Shutters in Las Vegas & Henderson: Built for Heat, Installed in 2–3 Weeks
If you live in Las Vegas or Henderson, plantation shutters are one of the best upgrades you can make to your windows. They look clean and timeless, help with heat and light control, and can even add value to your home.
But there are two big questions most homeowners ask us:
How long will it take to get my shutters installed?
Will the shutters warp, crack, or fall apart in Las Vegas heat?
At Excellent Blinds & Shutters, we specialize in Polycore plantation shutters with an aluminum core, and in most cases we can install them in about 2–3 weeks, while many companies in our area quote 6–8 weeks or more.
This guide explains why our shutters are different, why they work so well in the desert, and what you can expect when you order them for your home.
What are Polycore plantation shutters?
Not all plantation shutters are the same.
Traditional shutters are often made from wood or basic PVC. They can look nice at first, but in the Las Vegas climate they may:
Warp from heat and sun
Crack or peel over time
Need more maintenance and repainting
Polycore shutters are different:
They have a strong aluminum core inside each louvers and stile
The outside is a poly-resin that is smooth, easy to clean, and moisture resistant
The finish is baked on, so it doesn’t need repainting in normal use
In short:
You get the classic plantation shutter look, with the strength of aluminum and the low maintenance of a modern material.
This is why Polycore shutters are one of our favorite options for homes in Las Vegas, Henderson, and surrounding areas.
Why Polycore shutters are perfect for Las Vegas homes
Our desert weather is beautiful, but it’s tough on windows and window treatments. Here’s why Polycore shutters make sense here:
1. Heat and sun resistance
Las Vegas windows get a lot of direct sun. Polycore shutters with an aluminum core are designed to handle high temperatures without:
Warping
Yellowing
Cracking
They hold their shape and color better than many traditional wood shutters.
2. Energy efficiency
When closed, plantation shutters add an extra layer between your glass and the inside of your home. This can help:
Reduce heat coming in during the day
Keep cool air inside when your AC is running
Make rooms more comfortable, especially on south- and west-facing windows
In summer, every bit of extra insulation helps.
3. Easy to clean and family-friendly
Polycore shutters are:
Wipeable with a damp cloth
Resistant to moisture, making them great for bathrooms and kitchens
A good option for homes with kids and pets, where blinds and cords can get damaged easily
There are no dangling cords, and the shutters feel solid when you open and close them.
Our biggest advantage: installation in about 2–3 weeks
One of the most common complaints we hear from new customers is:
“The other company told me shutters would take 6–8 weeks or even longer.”
In a fast-growing area like Las Vegas, long lead times are very common. That’s where we are different.
At Excellent Blinds & Shutters, our Polycore plantation shutters are typically:
Measured in your home
Custom made to your exact window sizes
Professionally installed
…all in about 2–3 weeks in most cases.
This means:
You’re not staring at temporary paper blinds for months
You can finish your new home or remodel much faster
You enjoy the benefits of shutters sooner: privacy, light control, and a finished look

While many suppliers in Las Vegas and Henderson quote 6–8 weeks, our Polycore system allows us to deliver in about 2–3 weeks for most standard projects.
How much do plantation shutters cost in Las Vegas?
Pricing always depends on:
Window size and shape
Number of windows
Frame style and configuration
