Window Shutters: Pros & Cons For Your Home
Thinking of adding shutters to your home? They're a great stylistic and practical choice. If you are still unsure whether window shutters are right for you, we've put together this handy guide to help you make the best decision for your home.
What Are The Pros And Cons Of Window Shutters?
Pro: Adds value
Plantation shutters can increase the value of your home if you decide to sell it. They're a durable window covering solution which also serves as extra insulation, so they're considered a valuable fixture within your home.
Con: Unfront Expense
While shutters are a great asset, they do have an upfront cost. The materials you use for your shutters can impact how much you pay, so cheaper options are available.
Pro: Low-maintenance
Shutters are incredibly easy to clean and maintain. Simply dust them around the edges and between the slats with a microfibre cloth and they'll soon be looking as good as new.
Con: Not DIY-friendly
Shutters aren't easy to install yourself and will often need to be custom-made to fit your specific window space. Our team at Wares Blinds is on hand to provide an obligation-free measure and quote, whenever you need it.
Pro: Controls Light And Temperature
Shutters can help you control how much light enters your space and at what angle. The type of shutters you choose can also impact the amount of light entering your space. As they also offer insulation so you can easily control the temperature in your space, too.
Con: Decreased Functionality
When you install shutters, it's very difficult to place furniture in front of them as you won't be able to move panels or louvres freely. Your home interior might be limited, and this is important to think about if your space does require furniture to be placed in front of your windows, or if you're planning a redesign of your space.
