Replacing Your Window Coverings? Here's Why You Should Choose Plantation Shutters

Arthur Menard

If you are getting rid of your old window coverings, you should consider replacing them with new plantation shutters. You'll likely find a variety of benefits to appreciate after installing plantation shutters on your windows – here are just a few:

Add Depth to Your Decor

Installing plantation shutters is an excellent way to add some extra depth to your home's décor. The clean design of plantation windows won't overwhelm the look and feel of any room, but their texture and shade can help tie your décor together whether you're going for a traditional, modern, or chic style. And unlike drapes, curtains, or even blinds, you don't have to worry about material hanging too low, getting in the way of wall décor, or getting wrinkled or bent as time goes on.

Reduce the Buildup of Allergens

Another good reason to replace your old window coverings with plantation shutters is to reduce the buildup of allergens within your home. Dust, mold, mildew, and animal dander can't embed into plantation shutters like is possible with curtains or shades. And plantation shutters are easier to clean than most other types of window coverings, so you'll likely wash away possible allergens more often so they don't have a chance to build up and affect your household members.

Worry Less About Wear and Tear

Plantation shutters are hardy and are built to hold up to wear and tear without getting shabby or unsightly as the years pass. And if your shutters do start to look a little dingy as time goes on, a coat of paint is all it would take to give them new life. The same can't be said for curtains, drapes, or blinds. If curtains or drapes rip or get holes in them, they need to be replaced. And bent blinds can't be repaired to a like-new status.

Improve Your Home's Energy Efficiency

Plantation shutters are great insulators, helping to keep air in your home more comfortable throughout the year so you don't have to rely so heavily on your HVAC system. When the shutters are closed, you can rely on them to keep outdoor air from getting inside and indoor air from escaping. When they're open, the sunlight can seep in to naturally warm things up on chilly mornings and sunny winter days.

These are just a few of the awesome reasons to consider replacing your old worn out window coverings with new plantation shutters. Contact your local dealer today to learn more about your options.
