Style & Elegance of Shutters and Safety of Hurricane Shutters
When we talk about window shutters, it can often be confusing
because you can actually have them on the inside, such as
plantation shutters, as well as the outside of your home. We are
here to take all the confusion out of the various types of
shutters including hurricane shutters along with wood and vinyl
ones. If you live in a part of the world that is subject to
tropical storms, we highly recommend installing good hurricane
shutters to protect both the inside and outside of your home. A
storm can do serious damage to your home's interior structure if
the windows blow out. The best time to have them installed is
when you are building your home so that your contractor can tie
them into the exterior décor. Great interior decorating window
treatments are plantation shutters.
Custom made plantation shutters can add style, warmth and beauty
to any room in your home. Louver sizes often range from 2 1/2"
to 4 1/28" depending on the size and shape of your windows and
the room. They come in a variety of colors as well as wood and
faux wood. Faux wood is a synthetic material that will
not fade,
warp or chip over time. If you live in a humid climate, these
may be the perfect choice for you. Real wood shutters also come
in a variety of finishes so that you can match them to the
room's trim color if you like. Hurricane shutters also come in a
variety of finishes and are most often custom made to ensure a
perfect fit.
Many people wonder about the difference in shutter styles. The
main difference with plantation shutters is that they tend to be
thicker and the louvers are often wider. They provide a
distinguishing look and feel to the room and are often used with
traditional décors versus contemporary settings. That doesn't
mean you can't use them in a modern home because you can. You
can choose whatever window coverings you like that suit your
needs and your style.
