The benefits of plantation shutters

Plantation shutters have made a huge comeback in recent years and it’s not hard to see why they’re a crowd favourite – albeit one of the more expensive window treatment options available. There’s the style factor, of course, and their broad versatility with the ability to enhance any style of home decor you can imagine, from coastal to country, contemporary, modern, classic, Victorian, traditional, tropical, and rustic to name just a few. But there’s a lot more to plantation shutters than being aesthetically pleasing, so they’re not only beautiful to look at, they’re one of the most practical and beneficial types of window treatment that you can invest in too. Here are some of the many great benefits you can look forward to after installing plantation shutters:

1. Seriously insulative – keeps heat out in summer and warmth in during winter
2. Reduces energy consumption and costs due to the improved insulation – proving to ‘pay for themselves’ overtime
3. Easily adjusted to allow in more or less light – or completely block it out
4. Additional privacy while still allowing light to come in
5. Excellent ventilation in tropical climates
6. Easy to maintain, dust and clean
7. BEAUTIFUL! A timeless design that won’t date
8. Goes perfectly with all types of home designs
9. An investment that adds genuine value to your home
10. Durable – made from highly resistant materials that won’t age, peel, warp or fade, so you’ll only need to install them once
11. Simplistic – custom made to fit snuggly into each window – and that’s it. No pelmets, messy cords, curtain rods or bulky material taking up additional space
12. Added outside noise reduction – great for high traffic areas
13. Relatively cheap way to modernise your home without major structural work or high budget renovations
