There’s a reason that we love window shutters, otherwise, we’d be in the curtains games. In fact, there are several benefits of shutters.

 

They’re a super practical window covering, but they’re also a perfect way to transform your living space.

 

But if you’re still wondering why so many homeowners are choosing shutters, here's our guide on why you should choose plantation shutters for your next home reno project.

The benefits of window shutters

These are the key benefits of installing shutters in your home:

  • Improved home privacy
  • Manage natural light
  • Versatile range of designs
  • Each order is made-to-measure 
  • Energy efficient materials

Shutters improve window privacy

Plantation shutters redefine privacy control. Unlike other all-or-nothing window, a quick tilt of the slats lets you shield your home from curious eyes while still enjoying plenty natural light. 

 

Want a veiled view with dappled light that's perfect for reading or relaxing with a hot cuppa? Or maybe you need complete privacy for a cosy film night? Shutters always deliver. 

 

They're especially useful or ground-floor windows or busy streets. Day or night, shutters will help you to create your own private sanctuary, on your terms.

Control light management in your home

Of the many benefits of shutters, light management is right up there. Their movable slats allow you to achieve the perfect ambiance in any room by controlling the exact amount of natural light coming into your home.

 

Having a quiet morning to yourself? They're the perfect window dressing for reading a book or enjoying a cup of coffee. Feeling productive? Open the slats wide and bathe your workspace in refreshing natural light. Or maybe you need a midday break from the sun's glare. Simply adjust the louvers to create cooling shade, making your space more comfortable.

 

From soothing sunlight to near-complete darkness, it couldn’t be simpler.

Energy efficient window covering

Shutters aren't just about privacy and looking good - although they most certainly tick both of those boxes. They're also the most energy efficient window dressing on the market.

 

Think of them as an extra layer of insulation for your windows.  During scorching summers, shutters help keep your home cool by blocking out the sun's intense heat.

 

In the winter months, they act as a thermal barrier, trapping precious warmth inside and preventing drafts. This translates to significant savings on your energy bills – a win for your wallet and the environment.

 

Plus, unlike some window treatments that trap dust and allergens, shutters are easy to clean, promoting a healthier indoor environment.
