Tips on Deciding the Best Window Shutters for Your Home

Article Category: Home Management

Do you want to give your home's appearance a makeover? Let the window shutters do the incredible transformation to your home interior! But any window shutter just won't do—your choice of window covering should be carefully examined to achieve the perfect look for your home's interior. That entails spending some time for research, weighing your options, and shopping around for the best shutters. Consequently, you can save money and effort that you otherwise would have wasted with a wrong purchase.

Before you purchase shutters for your windows, consider the following options.

1. Plantation shutters or roller shutters?

The right type of window shutters for your home depends on the climate in your area, the amount of lighting you desire, and the kind of windows you have at home.

The plantation type of shutter is more suitable for hot and dry areas, while the roller type is ideal for places that experience frequent storms and strong winds. Roller shutters are solid and durable; that's why they can withstand harsh weather conditions. This kind of shutters, because of its sturdy nature, is commonly mounted outside the windows and is operated using a remote control or cord located inside the windows.

Plantation and roller shutters are also different when it comes to lighting manipulation. The former always let in some sunlight since the rod in the middle only tilts the louvers or slats, not totally closing them. Meanwhile, roller shutters offer complete darkness when closed, and they're ideal for those who want to take a nap or enjoy watching TV or movies during daytime.

You also have to take into consideration the shape of the windows in your home. Take the arched windows as an example. Arched windows pose a challenge when fitting window coverings simply because they're not exactly rectangular as window blinds and shades are. Plantation shutters are the best coverings for arched windows since they are more flexible than roller shutters and can be cut according to the curves of the arched windows.

2. Vinyl or wood shutters?

When it comes to customization, wood shutters are a better choice because they can be painted with any color you fancy. But that advantage comes with a setback: you will have to repaint wood shutters every two to three years. If repainting sounds like a horrible idea to you, then you may opt for the sturdier vinyl shutters. Since vinyl shutters never need painting at all, it pays to choose a vinyl color that you really want.

3. Clips or direct mounting?

There are two ways to install window shutters. You can either use clips that can be easily attached and detached or mount the shutters directly by driving screws into the sides of the windows.

The edge of using clips over direct mounting is that it allows you to easily remove the shutters when cleaning or repainting them. Also, there are no unsightly screws can be seen on the surface of the shutter.

Clips are suitable for vinyl and wood shutters, while direct installation using screws is good only for wood shutters.
