Choosing Plantation Shutters for Homes

​A Traditional Feel for an Elegant Look

​Do you love your house, but wish it had a touch of tradition to it? Something that would transform a room from nice to elegant? Then choosing plantation shutters will be one of the greatest interior design decisions you will ever make! The genuine wood slats of our plantation shutters will create a cozy, traditional atmosphere that you will enjoy for years. In fact, our shutters guarantee both beauty and longevity with its quality craftsmanship and sturdy slat build. Whether you choose genuine hardwood for your shutters or a gorgeous composite material that looks like the real thing, your home will have a boost in elegance when you add our plantation shutters to the mix.

​Excellent in Efficiency

Of course, there is so much more to plantation shutters than just beauty. When you are choosing plantation shutters, you are actually choosing a window treatment that looks great and offers an excellent amount of energy efficiency to your home. Plantation shutters usually have louvers that are wider than your typical shutter. This will provide more coverage against the sun to keep your house cooler throughout the day. 

​Additionally, double-hung plantation shutters offer more light control to help you achieve a comfortable home. This will reduce the need to reach for the thermostat and face high energy bills each month. This is especially useful in the hot summer months. Shutters even have insulating capabilities to keep your home warm in the cooler months as well. Plus, since plantation shutter louvers are wider than normal shutters, you will not have to worry about glares interrupting your movie nights or time spent on the computer. We call that a win-win.

Boosts the Value of your Home

There truly is no place like home. However, it is understandable that moves happen. From job offers in different cities to moving closer to the right school district for your kids, your first home is not always your forever home. Fortunately, choosing plantation shutters means you are choosing to help your home sell in the future. In fact, plantation shutters are evergreen when it comes to popular home aesthetics. This will help boost the value of your home to help achieve a satisfying sale. From curb appeal to inside appeal, you are sure to get compliments from future home buyers! Plus, our team of experts can help you find the perfect measurements for shutters in your new home, so you never have to be without them.
