The Benefits of Interior Window Shutters

Window shutters are an amazing way to gain light control, privacy and energy efficiency in your Houston home. In Texas, we face ruthless temperatures and extreme sunlight that can wreak havoc on your home’s interiors. Because interior shutters block the entering light, your home can remain comfortable.

It’s also that sunshine entering your windows that can ruin furnishings, flooring and artwork. Plantation shutters block the incoming UV rays to preserve the quality of your Houston area home.

Adjustable louvers mean that you can make slight adjustments to customize the atmosphere in your home. Close everything up for darkness. Adjust the louvers open, with the light directed up toward the ceiling, to enjoy an illuminated space while you protect your privacy. With options like rear tilt, you can enjoy a view of your outdoors with shutter louvers completely open.

The three collections of Hunter Douglas plantation shutters we offer are designed and crafted with high quality materials and expertise. They are guaranteed with durability and strength so your home investment lasts for years to come.

Does cost relate to the type of plantation shutters you choose?

The cost breakdown can start at the materials used to construct the plantation shutters. Wood shutters tend to be the most expensive, due to the material and craftsmanship that is used. Vinyl shutters tend to focus on a budget-friendly price point. Composite shutters are mid-range with price, due to customized materials and options for wood grain or painted appearance. Once the material is selected, other details can affect the cost of the shutters, like the tilt bar features, louver sizes or door handle cut-outs. Operating features can increase the price, ranging from hinged panels and bi-pass tracks, to motorized shutter operation.

Do white shutters yellow and warp over time?

They certainly can. Over-exposure to sunshine and UV rays is a culprit in the breakdown of interior shutter materials. It’s important to invest in a company that guarantees their window shutters with exclusive finishes and warranty protection.

Can window shutters make a room dark?

Absolutely! When shutter louvers are adjusted closed, the light entering might appear like a soft glow around the louver edges. The room will feature a room darkening effect, a valuable way to ensure better sleep without distraction.
