Many homeowners regard shutters as merely window protection or something that lets you control the amount of sunlight you let into your home. Shutters however, are more than that and if you happen to be looking into buying a new set for your windows, consider the following benefits first.
It adds beauty – If you’ve only ever had off-the-shelf blinds, you may be missing out on the aesthetic advantages of window shutters. For instance, we have wood shutter options that can be stained to match your interior wood trim and furniture.
It provides privacy – In addition to controlling the amount of sunlight you let into your room, shutters also provide privacy better than most window treatments. You can also enjoy the benefits of indoor ventilation without worrying about people looking in while the windows are open.
It adds durability to your windows – Plantation shutters are based on storm shutters, designed to protect homes from strong winds and direct impact from trees and debris. Our shutters are made from durable materials, such as basswood for our wood shutters and first-generation PVC for our poly shutters.
It’s easy to clean – Our wood blinds and shutters are easy to clean, thanks to their exterior coating that only requires wiping with a damp cloth. In comparison, many of today’s window treatments, especially the fabric ones, take a lot of work to clean.
It contributes to energy efficiency – Shutters create a second layer of insulation on your windows. So if your windows aren’t exactly energy efficient, shutters—especially the wood ones—can help lower your indoor heating and cooling requirements and your energy bills.
It’s safer for kids – Our shutters do not have dangling strings, pull cords, or long pieces of fabric that could be hazardous to children.
It prolongs the life of your fabrics and furniture – UV rays from direct sunlight causes faded furniture, fabrics, and valuable framed art. Unless you already have window glass with Low-E coatings, shutters can keep your indoor items looking good as new.
