The benefits of plantation shutters

Plantation shutters are sure to add a new level of style to your home, but they also offer benefits that reach far beyond their style and design.

Insulation

Here’s a benefit that your wallet will thank you for, Plantation Shutters effectively insulate your home, keeping it warm in the winter and cool in the summer. This insulation can reduce air-conditioning and heating costs by up to 25%, so even when the cost of plantation shutters are slightly higher, the energy savings are worth the price tag.

Low maintenance

Plantation shutters are incredibly easy to maintain. Forget complex cleaning products and specific equipment; just grab a rag and your everyday surface spray to wipe down and clean.

Environmentally-friendly

Some window treatments, like Modern Plantation Shutters, are made from non-toxic and 100% fully recyclable materials. You can feel good about your new home purchase because they reduce your carbon footprint and are the safest for you and your family.

Cost

The cost of Plantation Shutters depends on a few different aspects, the first being the number of windows you’d like fitted. As the number of windows increases, so will the price. The second aspect that determines the price of your Plantation Shutters is the size of your windows. Plantation Shutters can be fitted to a huge variety of window sizes, so the price is dependent on window dimensions.

When you’re shopping around, it’s important not to get caught up in finding the cheapest cost of Plantation Shutters. If you find a price that seems too good to be true, it probably is. Quality tends to go down with the price, meaning cheap Plantation Shutters will deteriorate quickly and need replacement much sooner than high-quality products.

Maintenance

There are a lot of things around our homes that need constant maintenance. Pools need to be cleaned, gutters need to be cleared, and lawns need to be mowed. But Plantation Shutters are some of the easiest window treatments to maintain. Modern uses a unique, dense polymer foam, the shutters will never crack, warp, shrink, discolour, or lose tension. This means that you can forget a big maintenance bill with each passing season.

The shutters are also super simple to clean. A quick wipe down with a rag and the products you already have under your sink and your shutters will be sparkling clean once again.
