Built in Lake Forest, installed 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 louver is the most-asked-for combination, from the typical bedrooms and bathrooms to 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.

Questions Brea homeowners ask before choosing plantation shutters
What's typical for an Olinda Village or Tonner Hills home?
These hillside homes near Carbon Canyon often have larger windows, bay openings, and strong afternoon sun. A 3.5-inch louver works well for the great rooms, with Polylux for any west-facing room with intense UV exposure.
How long does the drive take from your factory?
About 29 to 35 minutes on the 57 depending on traffic. We typically schedule Brea installs as full-day jobs to minimize back-and-forth.
