The Benefits of Window Shutters
With interior shutters, you can ensure light control, privacy and energy efficiency for your Milwaukee area home. We see a wide range of temperatures and exposure to the elements over the course of the year. It’s important to incorporate versatile window treatments so you can enjoy your home and natural light without the relentless heat of the summer or the frigid chill of winter. Plantation shutters stay in place, but offer adjustable control to always make your home comfortable and pleasant.
The adjustable shutter louvers come in various sizes, based on the collection. Adjust them to close out the light, or change the direction of entering light. Direct the light up to the ceiling to experience daylight while still feeling like your interiors are private. Open the louvers to fully see the outdoors. Split tilt describes the upper portion of shutter louvers adjusting separately from the bottom portion, offering top down shade benefits.
Tilt rod selection can feature the traditional look of the center tilt rod. You can also opt for hidden tilt, or rear tilt. Both of those options are considered a more contemporary look for plantation shutters, with the view-through being open and clear.
Client Questions about Plantation Shutters
Sometimes, it’s helpful to know what other homeowners are wondering about window covering products. We do our best to provide all of the information we can, but if you’d like to see some of the most common questions, we are providing them here. Of course, you are welcome to reach out to our team to find out more!
Are plantation shutters still considered “in style” in home decor?
One of the most classic, elegant ways to cover windows, interior shutters are in style, and they will always be a timeless choice. They appear to have a “built-in” look, adding beauty and value, as well as stylish elements that coordinate with your home’s own foundational elements, such as wood work or trim. One of the most important things you can do is to match your shutters with the style of your home, so everything looks put together well.
Are window shutters capable of room darkening?
Yes! By adjusting the shutter louvers to the closed position, you’ll block most outside light. When in the darkened room on a very bright day, you may see a glow along the edges of the louvers, since the light is blocked, but not sealed out. This shouldn’t get in the way of darkening your space enough to take a nap midday. During the evening, nighttime, or early morning, shutters are more than capable of removing distracting light that might keep you awake otherwise.
Which kind of shutters are best for windows with grids?
When windows have other features that prevent complete view-through, like grids or panes, shutters can still be a viable option. We would most likely recommend a hidden tilt or rear tilt shutter to prevent adding more distraction at the window.
Is there a downside of window shutters?
One factor that can discourage homeowners is the cost of shutters. They are definitely an investment, meant to last a long time without having to be replaced. Most homeowners do consider this a positive in the long run, but it can be hard to accept the pricing that comes with high quality window coverings. We do recommend clients do their homework when shopping for shutters, as there can be a difference in pricing. Oftentimes, that difference results in the quality of the materials, craftsmanship and finishes that protect your investment over time.
Is it common for white shutters yellow and warp as time goes by?
White shutters are a popular choice in window treatments. If homeowners purchase shutters made of poor quality materials or crafted without proper protective finishes, the result will be the breakdown of the exterior look of the shutters. Yellowing, cracking and warping are the potential results of low quality shutters. Hunter Douglas shutters are crafted with high quality materials and protected with exclusive finishes that ensure the beauty of your interior shutters for years to come. Plantation shutters should also be warrantied against these common problems.
