Who can benefit from Plantation Shutters?
Are Plantation Shutters Right for You?
Interior window shutters (also known as traditional shutters) have been around since colonial times. They originated in New England and were created to provide better insulation during harsh weather conditions. You’ll still find many early American homes with traditional window shutters throughout the United States.
Plantation shutters were built for plantation homes in the Southern States. Their primary purpose was to protect the home’s interior from the fierce heat and sunlight. Plantation shutters generally have larger louvers (slats), so they offer a full view when open and block out the sun entirely when closed.
There are many reasons why plantation shutters are the best choice for your windows – and here you will find a few of them. Let’s look at a few.
Why Install Plantation Shutters?
Home Aesthetics
Use Plantation Shutters to Add a Touch of Style to Your Home’s Interior.
Regardless of the interior design you have, there’s a plantation shutter out there that’s perfect for your home. Salem wood gives you an almost colonial echo that sparks memories of America’s rich history. You can also choose a more contemporary design if you’re looking for a modern style.
There isn’t a set of blinds or curtains that can bring the same style a plantation shutter can. Whether you want to create a traditional feel or go with something unique, Southern Custom Shutters can deliver.
Energy Efficiency
Make Your Home Energy Efficient with Plantation Shutters on Every Window.
Plantation shutters are energy efficient and offer a wide range of functions that make your home more comfortable. Interior window shutters let in just the right amount of light and air to find a temperature that’s perfect. On those brutal summer days where the sun is relentless, you can close them completely to keep your room cool and cozy.
Durability
Plantation Shutters are Durable and Long Lasting – They’ll Last for Many Years to Come!
Interior window shutters are a great option for all homeowners who want to make sure that their investment in window treatments will last for the long term.
Wood plantation shutters are built for longevity. No matter which design you get, all products from Southern Custom Shutters will last you for many years to come.
Low Maintenance
Plantation Shutters are Easy to Maintain
If you’ve ever owned blinds, you know how easily they break. Every so often, you have to take down the blinds for cleaning, and that is never fun.
Interior Window Shutters require minimal upkeep. They’re designed to be airtight, pest resistant, and free of mold or mildew. You can easily keep your window shutters clean by occasionally wiping them down with a dry microfiber cloth, swiffer or a damp washcloth.
What’s the Difference Between Plantation Shutters and Window Blinds?
Plantation Shutters vs. Window Blinds
Plantation Shutters are fixed in the window where the louvers (slats) move up and down to control light.
Window Blinds are made to cover the window and block out light. They come with either a corded or cordless string that is connected to the blinds and can be moved up and down to expose the whole window.
Blinds are more economical, provide better insulation, and allow for more light to enter the room. However, shutters can be more durable and are custom-made to match any room décor.
Blinds or shutters?
We know that purchasing new window treatments is a big decision. That’s why we’re happy to help you make an informed one.
Blinds and shutters both offer great insulation and privacy, but it can be difficult to know which is best for you. We’ll help you find the right window coverings, in the right style with the best materials for your home.
All of our window treatments are expertly crafted and are built to last.
We’re here for you no matter how big or small your project is, whether it’s an entire home or just a few windows. We’ve got you covered!
Wood Vs. Vinyl Plantation Shutters
Wooden Shutters
Wood window shutters come in several types, but the natural wood variety are by far the most durable and stylish type. They will cost more than other types of window shutters, but they pay for themselves over time due to their longevity. With modern shutters made of real wood, you not only save energy but also increase the value of your estate.
Our wood plantation shutters are solid, durable and are built to last.
Vinyl Shutters
Vinyl interior shutters are a lot more affordable, look fantastic, and they are just as durable as wooden shutters.
Not everyone has the budget for wooden shutters, so vinyl is an optimal alternative. If you’re less concerned about the investment value and just want to spruce up your property with elegant window shutters, vinyl is a great option. Vinyl shutters are increasingly becoming more popular due to their low plantation shutters cost and elegant style.
