Why Choose Interior Shutters?

10 Reasons Why INTERIOR Shutters are a Smart Investment.

If you’re considering options for your new window treatments, you have many choices to make… window shades, blinds, shutters or curtains. Here’s why shutters should be your first choice…

1 SHUTTERS ARE TIMELESS.. REGARDLESS OF STYLE!

The basic style and function of plantation shutters has not changed in more than 200 years. They will never look old in your home. Most homeowners who choose shutters never change their window treatments again.

2 TEMPERATURE CONTROL

In the winter, shutters act as an effective insulation barrier by keeping cold air out. In the summer, they help to keep your home cool and comfortable.

3 ENERGY EFFICIENCY

Shutters are the most energy efficient choice in window treatments. The adjustable louvers allow you to let in sunlight when you want it, while allowing you to block harsh afternoon sun or cold winter drafts with a simple touch.

4 LIGHT CONTROL AND AMBIANCE

Imagine being able to have the "golden hour" feeling in your home all day. No other window treatment offers the options and flexibility for controlling light that shutters offer. They give you the ability to create "drama" and "mood" in your home that no other window treatment can match.

5 BUILT FOR CONVENIENCE

Shutters have no strings to get dirty, tangled or to be a safety hazard. They'll never get stuck in the "up" or "down" position. They don't contain fragile internal gears or mechanisms to wear or break over time. Repairs are almost never needed but with our lifetime warranty, you're covered no matter what.

6 BUILT TO LAST

There are homes in historical areas of our country that have had shutters in them for hundreds of years that are still functional and beautiful. (Think Mount Vernon, Old Town Alexandria Virginia, Savannah, Key West, Charleston etc). I've had shutters in my home for 25 years with zero problems. They're still as function and beautiful as the day we put them in.

7 LOW MAINTENANCE

Unlike blinds and other complex mechanical systems that use cords and pulleys, shutters are virtually maintenance free. There are no mechanisms, ropes, cords or pulleys to get dirty, tangled or broken. There are virtually no moving parts. Made from solid wood or weather resistant polymer, they should easily last the life of your home. Cleaning requires nothing more than a simple cloth.

8 PRIVACY & SECURITY

Privacy is critical for creating a sense of security in your home. With plantation shutters, you have many more options for privacy than any other window treatment. If you choose our divider rail or split tilt option, you can have total privacy by closing both the top and bottom sections. Unlike shades or blinds you also have the option of closing the lower sections while keeping the top sections either totally or partially open.

9 ALLERGIES

The finish on shutters helps to resist the collection of dust and dander. The durability of the finish means they're super easy to clean (simply wipe them clean with a soft cloth), making them an excellent choice for those who suffer from allergies. 

10 AN INVESTMENT THAT ADDS VALUE TO YOUR HOME

Home buyers and appraisers understand that plantation shutters increase the value of your property. They make your home easier to sell. They increase the price you can expect to receive.
