plantation shutters First, identify the type of shutter you have. There are three types -- panel, louver, and batten. If you have a panel shutter, you'll need to remove the panels from the frames. For louver and batten shutters, you'll need to remove the slats from the frames. Once you've removed the panels or slats, measure and cut new pieces of wood to replace them using a saw. Be sure that the new pieces are exactly the same size as the originals. If necessary, use a wood glue and clamps to secure them in place while they dry. Let them dry for 24 hours before reassembling your plantation shutters.

If the shutter is broken but still attached to the window, you can repair it by tightening the screws or nails that hold it in place. If a screw or nail comes loose, remove it and replace it with a new one. If the shutter is detached from the window, reattach it by drilling new holes in the shutter and then screwing or nailing it back into place. If a section of the shutter is broken or missing, you can replace that section by buying a new piece of wood that is the same size and shape as the original, cutting it to fit, and then attaching it to the shutter using screws or nails.
