The Benefits of Installing Plantation Shutters

Plantation shutters can add an instant level of sophistication and elegance to any home. Offered in a variety of styles, colors and materials, they can immediately add value to the home. As a high-end window treatment, plantation shutters hold their value for many years.

A Custom Fit

One of the reasons why plantation shutters offer such a decorative addition to the interior of any room is that they are custom fit for every size and shape window opening. Because of that, they are rated more energy-efficient than other available window treatments. When installed correctly, they can significantly reduce monthly utility bills by resisting the heat of the summer, and the cold of the winter.

Plantation shutters were once considered the ideal window covering for the elite. However, the affordability of the shutters provides the opportunity for average homeowners to enjoy this elegant, luxurious window covering.

A Permanent Component

Unlike all other types of window treatments, plantation shutters are installed as a permanent component to the home’s interior. While a traditional window covering can become damaged or faded by ultraviolet rays and direct sunlight, plantation shutters never require replacement when properly maintained. As a result, plantation shutters are crafted as a durable product that can last for generations.

As a low-maintenance option with minimal upkeep, plantation shutters usually require only a light dusting to maintain.

Controlling Light

Plantation shutters are crafted in a variety of slat sizes with louvers as large as 6 ½”, and as small as 1 ¼”. Each slat size provides unique control on the amount of sunlight that can penetrate through the glass. The louvers provide a way to maximize ventilation and privacy while offering enhanced versatility when adjusting the position between open and closed.

Different Styles

Decorative plantation shutters are designed in a variety of different styles including a double hung version, and one with the divider rail. These are ideal choices for kitchens and bathrooms, where the bottom louvers can remain closed, creating privacy, and the top louvers can remain open for the penetration of outside light.

Plantation shutters can add instant curb appeal to the exterior of any home, while increasing the appraised value of the house. In addition, they can produce energy savings by controlling airflow and light penetration into the home. These shutters are crafted in a variety of styles to complement the interior decor of any room
