5 Reasons to Invest in Shutters

Shutters don’t just look great and coordinate easily with a variety of interior color schemes. They can create a cohesive look in any style of decor, from classic to contemporary. Shutters can be mounted on the inside or outside of a frame to accommodate what space is available. We have put together a list of other advantages of shutters to help you decide if they are right for you.

Personalized Appeal

Custom window treatments are always a wise choice because they can be made to suit your exact preferences and make your home truly yours. You choose the louver size, color, and finish to create your perfect shutters. Custom shutters also provide better privacy, light control, and UV protection because a custom fit means no gaps.

Increased Property Value

Seasoned real estate agents tend to agree that a home with custom shutters will sell faster. Once installed, custom shutters are a permanent fixture in your home. The stylish and elegant window coverings are sought after by many potential buyers. This is even more true if you choose natural hardwood for your shutter material. Blinds, shades, and other window treatments certainly have their benefits but don’t boost your home’s value the way a permanent fixture can.

Increased Energy Efficiency

Many consumers today are looking for eco-friendly purchases for their homes and other areas in their lives. Shutters offer varying degrees of insulation at your windows. Choosing larger size louvers increases this insulation as there are fewer gaps for air to come through. Shutters that provide a high level of insulation will lower your utility and home maintenance costs over time.

Privacy and Flexibility

Shutters are a solid, durable window treatment and can provide peace of mind when it comes to your home’s security. They also offer flexibility when it comes to variable light control and privacy management. You can open the louvers slightly and still receive ample natural light while protecting your home from the looks of people outside.

Easy to Maintain

Once your shutters have been installed, you can rest assured they will last for many years. Hunter Douglas is so confident in the quality of their products they provide a limited lifetime warranty. Shutters are also very easy to clean, especially if you opt for the faux wood variety. Simply use a duster or a damp, soapy cloth to wipe down your shutters to keep them looking new for years to come.
