New Window Shutters Add Value to Your Home

Interior plantation shutters offer design appeal and practical benefits like light control and energy efficiency. One of the only window treatments that are considered to be semi-permeant fixtures, shutters increase home value and are desirable features for potential buyers, ultimately increasing property value.

Hunter Douglas NewStyle® Composite Shutters near Wichita, Kansas (KS)

At Jackie & Bill’s Drapery & Interiors, we offer the range of Hunter Douglas window shutters with options for every room in your home. Our team is here to answer any of your question about these versatile window coverings.

How Do Interior Plantation Shutters Work?

Interior shutters are window treatments that contain solid frames with adjustable slats called louvers. These louvers can be tilted open or closed to control light and privacy. By adjusting the louver position, you can regulate sunlight while maintaining privacy.

These window coverings are installed within the window frame using hinges or mounting frames. When you work with our team at Jackie & Bill's Drapery & Interiors, first, our professional installers will take measurements of your windows to ensure a precise fit. Once your order arrives, we will schedule a time and date for installation. Mounting frames or hinges are attached to the window frame, and the shutters are secured. We make the final adjustments to ensure smooth operation and proper alignment with the window.

The Advantages of Window Shutters

Window shutters have more benefits than simply improving your home’s appearance. One of the primary advantages is their versatility. They offer a timeless look that complements any style of decor, from traditional to contemporary. Interior shutters also offer exceptional control over light and privacy, allowing you to adjust them according to your preferences throughout the day.

Another advantage of window shutters is their durability. Unlike store-bought curtains or blinds, shutters are typically made from high-quality materials like sustainable wood or durable vinyl, so they withstand the test of time. This adds value to your home and saves you money in the long run by reducing the need for frequent replacements or repairs.

Choosing the Right Window Shutters

When selecting window shutters for your home, consider style and functionality:

  • Interior plantation shutters offer a classic look that complements a variety of interior design themes.
  • Hunter Douglas Heritance® Wood Shutters are a popular choice for their natural beauty and timeless appeal, but they are susceptible to damage from moisture.
  • For rooms where moisture and humidity can be at play, Hunter Douglas Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters are an excellent option that stand up to damage from excessive moisture like warping, rotting, and mold growth, as well as preventing fading and discoloration from UV rays.
  • Shutters made from alternative materials like NewStyle® Composite Shutters may be more suitable for areas with high humidity or intense sunlight. We can custom-order them in many stains and paint tones that resemble genuine wood.

Installation and Maintenance Tips

Proper installation is important with new window shutters because you won’t want gaps or an otherwise poor fit. If you're not confident in your DIY skills, our professional team are here to help. We will ensure that the shutters are securely mounted and operate smoothly, minimizing the risk of any issues down the line.

Once your shutters are installed, regular maintenance will preserve their appearance and functionality. Depending on the material, this may involve wiping them down with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris or occasionally applying a coat of paint or sealant to protect against moisture and UV damage.

The Value of New Window Shutters

Potential buyers are drawn to properties that have been meticulously maintained and thoughtfully upgraded. Quality shutters can serve as a selling point that sets your home apart from others on the market. It’s wise to look beyond just the monetary value, though. The added comfort, privacy, and aesthetic appeal that interior plantation shutters provide can enhance your quality of life and make your home a more enjoyable place to live.
