Shutters add a classic and timeless look to any room! They are a type of window covering that are made of wood, vinyl, or composite materials. They consist of horizontal slats or louvers mounted within a frame, which can be opened, closed, or adjusted to control light, privacy, and airflow. Shutters are available in various styles, including traditional plantation shutters, café shutters, and solid panel shutters. Here are some key features and considerations of shutters as window coverings:
- Light Control: Shutters offer excellent control over natural light. By adjusting the angle of the slats or louvers, you can easily regulate the amount of sunlight entering the room while still maintaining privacy.
- Privacy: When fully closed, shutters provide a high level of privacy from the outside world. This makes them ideal for bedrooms, bathrooms, and street-facing windows.
- Durability: High-quality shutters are durable and long-lasting. They are one of the only window treatments considered a permanent fixture and can therefore increase the value of your home.
- Versatility: Shutters can be used in various window shapes and sizes, including standard rectangular windows, arched windows, and bay windows.
- Easy Maintenance: Shutters are relatively easy to clean and maintain. Regular dusting or wiping with a damp cloth is usually all that’s needed to keep them looking fresh and new.
- Customization: Shutters can be customized in terms of color, finish, and louver size to suit individual preferences and design requirements. Our custom-made shutters are a great option to fit non-standard window sizes and shapes.
