Plantation shutters are a window dressing which provide a beautiful alternative to blinds and curtains. They are also very practical and can offer a number of benefits including improved insulation, noise reduction, privacy and security.
They can be made to measure and can fit almost any window or door and come in a variety of different styles to suit your interior design. They can be customised to your preference from the number of panels, louvre size, hinging and frame colours as well as the tilt rod. They are available in a wide range of materials including vinyl, wood and composite. Each material has its own advantages but they are all durable, easy to clean and come with a lifetime guarantee.
The popularity of shutters has increased dramatically over recent years as they have become a sought after feature in modern homes. They provide a unique look which will add to the value of your home and are a versatile solution to dress any room. They are very easy to maintain and can be cleaned with a damp cloth or duster.
Unlike many other window dressings which are fabric based, window shutters are manufactured from a hardwearing material making them a good choice for busy family homes. They are also a much safer option for children and adults who suffer from allergies as they do not harbour dirt like many other fabrics can. They are a great alternative to blinds and are available in an extensive selection of colours.
When closed, plantation shutters can help to keep your home warm in winter as they can block drafts that may be coming through the window much like a curtain or blind would. However, they are unable to create true blackout as light can still enter through the louvres when closed.
