Why you should choose shutters for windows
There are many reasons why we recommend every homeowner to choose bespoke shutters for windows and this is because of their many benefits as window dressings. Whether you are looking for bathroom window shutters or plantation shutters for french doors, we are here to tell you the many benefits of these products and why they are the best dressing for creating an inspiring home to show off to your friends, family and neighbours.
Shutter Styles
Now when it comes to choosing your shutters, we know every customer has a unique style and finish in mind, which is why we created a range fit for everyone. From full-height pine shutters to cafe-style poly shutters for your bathroom, we have a design for each category. For those with older properties, you may be wondering “how can I dress my Georgian windows with shutters?”. Well, as these window dressings were originally made around 500 years ago, even before glass windows and so it would be wrong of us not to create shutters for more classic properties. It is completely up to the individual in which style they choose, but our experts love the finish of our solid panel shutters on Georgian windows, as they blend so perfectly together.
Here is a full list of the styles we offer:
- Full Height
- Cafe-Style
- Tier-On-Tier
- Solid Panel
- Shaped
- Tracked Shutters (shutter doors)
- Bi-folding
Each of these has its own range of customisations and our surveying team can help you with choosing elements such as the best shutter louvre size for your personal light and privacy preferences or even help colour match to your current interior to give them an elegant finish.
Benefits of Shutters
We know customers commonly research “blinds or shutters which is better?” and this is an important question that we are here to help answer. This can be different depending on what you are specifically looking for in your home, for example, blinds can benefit more for those who need a budget-friendly, simple dressing or customers with accessibility issues, where motorised shades can provide them with instant shade and privacy with the touch of a button.
Shutters have a variety of benefits for many properties and interiors, some of which include:
- Home Security – If you are looking to increase the protection of your home, then our window security shutters are an excellent way to do so. These products sit against the frames of your windows and doors and add a layer of security to your interior, making it less likely for break-ins to occur. We also offer a lockable shutter as an additional upgrade which can be discussed on your consultation day.
- Home Insulation – with energy bills currently rising and homeowners becoming increasingly worried about using their heating during the winter, we want to help you insulate your home and keep costs down as much as possible this winter. Shutters create a barrier between your windows and interior, meaning they create a layer of insulation and help keep your property warm. Using shutters prevents you from constantly having to heat your home and also stops heat from being lost out of your windows and doors as easily, keeping your interior warm and your costs down. Read our blog post for more information on the benefits of shutters in winter!
- Completely Bespoke – Instead of trying to find an off-the-shelf shade that fits to your unique window dimensions perfectly without being too big or small, we make your shutters completely bespoke. This may result in them taking a little bit longer to arrive in your home but with careful crafting and design, you’ll have a dressing like no other.
- Child-friendly – Our shutters are durable and are designed completely cordless, making them attractive to homes with small children. Some of our materials are strong and not easily dented so that even when your little ones start exploring, they will be safe from damage.
- Easy to maintain – Unlike fabric curtains or blinds that hold odours and are not so easy to clean when a stain or mark appears, shutters are so simple to maintain. Just by dusting regularly with a microfibre cloth, your shutters will look good as new for as long as possible. Avoid using cleaning chemicals on both your wooden and faux wood shutters as this can affect the finish of the paint over time, causing discolouration. We also recommend avoiding water with our wooden range as this can cause warping and paint damage also. A simple wipe-over with a dry cloth or baby wipes for harsher stains will do just the trick!
