Maneuverability of Shutters

Shutters have a variety of options that allow you to customize how much light is let in by way of tilting the louvers up or down, or hinging them entirely open to see an unobstructed view outside. Tilting the louvers, or individual wood panels down permits privacy while maximizing the light coming through the window. Particularly if you choose a light paint color for your shutters, you will be able to enjoy the light softly reflecting off of the louvers while still maintaining privacy. Louvers can be controlled individually, known as clear view side control, or via classic center tilt rod control.

Alternately, If you wish to have a completely clear view outside, you can fold each shutter entirely out of the way. As a result of their durability, shutters can withstand years of louver and hinge maneuverability and are an excellent choice for window coverings in your home or office.

Considering Shutters versus Blinds

When choosing a window covering for your home, shutters and blinds are among the most common options. Shutters are a superior choice to blinds for the reasons described below.

Durability

Shutter louvers are constructed of solid wood while blind louvers are often made of plastic or metal. Blinds tend to get easily broken and tangled rendering them inoperable and unable to continue to perform their function as a window covering. By contrast, shutters have solid wood components including the tilt rod resulting in a product that will withstand years of opening and closing as well as the wear and tear imposed by kids and pets.

Enduring Style and Protection

The sun can inflict significant damage to window coverings, and blinds offer minimal UV protection. On the other hand, shutters are designed to both withstand UV damage through multiple coats of paint and protect indoor floors and furnishings by way of their large light-blocking louvers.

Boost Home Value

It is unlikely that a potential home buyer would walk in to your home and admire the blinds. However, if you choose to install shutters in your home, you are selecting a window covering that is customized to your home’s colors and decor resulting in an attractive, high-end appearance. In addition, having custom wood shutters already placed in your home eliminates the buyer’s need to update the window coverings and results in your home being move-in ready.

In choosing shutters over blinds, you are opting for a window covering that will last for years, not fade or discolor, and add unmatched value to your home.
