Features and Benefits of Plantation Shutters
They’re versatile when it comes to design, available in a number of stains and colours to match any décor, and they’re among the most functional and easy-to-use options on the market.
If you’re considering plantation shutters, you’re bound to benefit from this list:
- Experience energy efficiency as they block out heat-producing light and insulate against the cold during winter months.
- Gain better light control than other options including curtains by regulating the light in your rooms.
- Create a boost in your home value by installing permanent window furnishings that potential buyers are bound to love.
- Low-maintenance and time-saving as most simply wipe clean with dust or damp cloth on an as-needed basis.
- Insulate against more than temperature with shutters that also help dampen road noise.
What Makes Plantation Shutters Unique?
Most are made from either wood, faux wood or metal (such as aluminium). These different materials also allow for different homeowners with different budgets to take advantage of the style and functionality of plantation shutters at different price points.
Plantation shutters are unique from other window treatments, especially blinds, in how they operate. The shutters are made with slats, or louvres, that are fitted to a frame that is attached to the inside or outside of a window sill.
The louvres are designed to be operated by hand or can be motorised. The frames themselves can be operated like doors with hinges, allowing them to be fully opened rather than retracted.
Are Plantation Shutters Difficult To Install?
Not for the experts. Most plantation shutters are custom-measured, fit, and installed by a professional provider to ensure that they actually fit the space they’re intended for. The shutters need to be hung properly in order for them to be level and operate as expected.
There’s also quite a bit that goes into securing them to the window frame itself for the permanent installation. While the pros will be able to do this with finesse, it will also take them about an hour per window to get the job done right.
Are Plantation Shutters Expensive?
A number of factors go into determining the cost of a plantation shutter. First of all, your entire project will be determined by the total quantity of shutters you need, affecting both material and installation costs.
From there, it comes down to the details including:
- Material: Woodlore, Woodlore plus waterproof, Brightwood and Normandy
- Louvres: There are different options for different-sized slats which can affect material costs.
- Size: Larger shutters require more material and more time to install.
- Finishes: Custom colours and finishes are going to cost more than stock options.
- Operation: Motorisation can make them easier to use but comes at an extra price.
