Busting Myths about Shutter Blinds
There are many misconceptions and myths about wooden shutter blinds and so the experts here at The Shutter Studio are here to break down those theories, one by one.
- “Shutters are only for older homes”. As a company, we have worked with many classic homes but also many modern ones, installing our beautiful and bespoke products. Plantation shutters are a classic piece of woodwork but have since been modernised for many new commercial and domestic properties. They can be customised for your interior, meaning no shutter we install is the same as the last.
- “They are too difficult to clean” – Internal window shutters are actually very simple to keep clean. With the use of a microfibre cloth, duster or for harsher stains, baby wipes, you can keep your shutters looking brand new for many years. Whether you have cafe shutters in your bay windows or waterproof shutters in your shower windows, they are all very easy to maintain.
- “Shutters and Blinds are the same” – This is a big misconception. Plantation shutters are a fixed instalment in homes, with a more robust and sturdy finish, compared to the removable free-hanging blinds. They may have similarities to say, Wooden Venetians, but they have a longer shelf life and have plenty more benefits to any blind style.
- “They are too expensive” – Shutter blinds cost more than most blinds and curtains. This is only due to the sourcing of sustainable materials, the crafting time and the longer lifespan of these bespoke high-quality products. We source 5 materials in our range in which all work to various budgets, so our team members can help you pick the best range for the work and finish you want for your home.
- “They often need replacing” – Our high-quality products are made to last for many years in comparison to other window dressings, which may fade or get damaged or knocked easily. Our shutters are finished with a protective coating to prevent colour fading or damage, as well as crafted with the highest quality robust materials, suited for any homes.
