Plantation shutters can improve your home’s energy efficiency, aesthetics, and resale value.
Unlike fabric drapes or blinds, your shutters will not fade due to ageing or the sun’s harmful UV rays. The materials in today’s shutters are strong, durable, do not lose their colour and will not warp or peel.
Open louvre blades on shutters allow air to circulate easily within your home, providing good ventilation. The added bonus with shutters is that there is no material to billow out into your room and knock ornaments or decorations over, and as the plantation shutters can be left shut even when the louvers are open your privacy can be maintained.
As shutters are always in fashion, you only need to have window shutters installed one time. This will save you on the cost of purchasing new curtains or drapes every few years.
You can always add a lock to the plantation shutters if they are being used in a child’s room so that a window can be left open, but ensure your child remains safe as they are unable to access the open window.
Plantation shutters require low maintenance. When properly cared for, you only need to dust and wipe finger prints.
They can help to reduce your energy bills by minimizing the amount of cooled or heated air leaking into your room.
