Many reasons to love shutters!
While their stunning looks may have first caught your attention, plantation shutters have many unique advantages over other window treatments.
Increased Property Value
Plantation shutters may even increase the value of your home. Shutters are typically highlighted as a feature in real-estate listings and often help homes sell faster than average. Many home buyers find shutters to be a huge plus when comparing potential homes—so your home sticks out from other houses on the market.
Energy Savings
About 30% of a home’s heating energy is lost through windows according to the Department of Energy. Fortunately, shutters are excellent insulators and perfect for deflecting sunlight. Installing shutters significantly improves the energy efficiency of your home since their tight-fitting frames create a barrier between outside temperatures and your home’s interior.
Timeless Aesthetic
As a consistently popular interior design choice, you can’t go wrong when choosing plantation shutters. They’re a simple and elegant window treatment that never falls out of style. White shutters are fit well with nearly any decor while maintaining a clean, cohesive look throughout the home.
Better Privacy
Most of us have experienced nosy neighbors at one point or another. Interior plantation shutters help improve your privacy without sacrificing light in the process. Their easy adjustment allows natural lighting when desired, while still defending against prying eyes.
Noise Reduction
Shutters have the added benefit of noise buffering. Unlike other window treatments like accordion-style blinds, shutters allow you to keep a window open without the clanking and banging of accordion-style blinds.
Durability
When built correctly, custom plantation shutters are durable and built to last. If you consider the cost of your shutters on a yearly basis, you may find them less expensive than periodically replacing drapes throughout the entire house. As a further vote of confidence in our product, we offer an extensive product warranty for additional protection.
Child Safety
Plantation shutters do not have dangling cords or strings which can easily entangle children, making them a much safer alternative to blinds and drapes. Families with small children will be especially grateful for having one less hazard in the house for their children to discover.
Easy Cleaning
Plantation shutters are easily cleaned with a quick wipe down, making them virtually maintenance-free. All they require is a simple dusting with a damp cloth or lambswool duster from time to time, with no need to remove and replace them after cleaning.
