Now that you have a better understanding of what interior shutters are and the options you have for materials from our previous blog, let’s delve into the benefits that it can provide for you.

Privacy

For most people, the first and most important reason to invest in high-quality window coverings is privacy. We want to be able to move about our homes without the fear that people could be watching us from outside. If your property is very close to a street, normal blinds and drapes might not be up to the job. Interior shutters offer increased privacy that can’t be blown aside by the wind or penetrated by a flashlight.

Low Maintenance

Tired of washing and vacuuming your drapes? Find it troublesome to rub down your motorized blinds with a dry sponge every time they’re looking dusty? Because they’re not made of fabric, window shutters are incredibly easy to clean. Simply wipe each side down with a damp cloth once a month and you’re done!

Health Benefits

Surprised to hear that your window coverings can affect your health? Well, it’s true! Dust isn’t able to infiltrate and build up on window shutters the way in the same manner it does in fabric curtains and blinds. If you suffer from allergies in our arid environment, plantation shutters may be able to help.

Flexible Light Control

When installed across the entire expanse of a tall window, interior shutters give you the option of closing the bottom panels while opening the top ones. This means that light can flow through the top of the window while still being blocked at the bottom.

Protection From Noise & Heat

Unlike drapes or traditional blinds, window shutters are thick and often solid. This blocks out street noises and the heat of the sun in a way that fabric window coverings can’t. Likewise, closed shutters will keep heat inside a room when the temperature outside is cooler.

Curb Appeal

At the end of the day, window shutters are simply a more elegant way to cover your windows. If you’re planning on selling your home in the near future, installing interior window shutters are a great way to improve aesthetic appeal and up your home’s value in the eyes of prospective buyers.
