Top Things to Know About Interior Shutters near Redwood City, CA
Often thought of as an exterior-only window treatment, interior shutters enhance the appearance and value of your home. Would you like to know more about this classic window treatment with an enduring style? Our design team at Deja Blue Home Staging & Design has made a handy list of things to know about interior shutters.
- Louver size makes a difference. For many people, the louver or slat size of blinds and shutters is an arbitrary decision with little impact on the final look. The truth is the chosen louver size significantly affects the overall look and feel of a room. Interior shutters are available in a range of louver widths from 2 ½” to 4 ½”. Larger windows can take on the bold aesthetic of wider louvers, and we recommend the largest louver size for rooms with a contemporary or modern appearance.
- The quality of installation matters. You must properly install your shutters to provide the most functionality and longevity. The frame of interior shutters must be perfectly true and square to avoid unnecessary stress on the hinges, which can lead to breakage. Our certified installers provide accurate installation to ensure your shutters last the decades they’re meant to.
- You can install wood shutters in every room - but is every room the best environment for them? We love the look of Heritance® Hardwood Shutters, but wood is susceptible to moisture damage and isn’t the best choice for bathrooms or kitchens. To enjoy the beauty of interior shutters in these areas, we suggest Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters. The innovative Polysatin™ material will never warp, fade, yellow, or peel even with intense moisture and heat exposure.
- Interior shutters increase your home’s resale value. When investing in a product for your home, it’s always best to choose one that will provide a solid return. Since they are considered a permanent addition, you can include shutters in an appraisal of your home. Existing interior shutters are a draw for many potential buyers if you ever put your home on the market.
- Shutters are easy to clean and maintain. This is especially true of interior shutters with wider louvers. Simply wipe both sides of each louver using a soft cloth or a vacuum brush attachment on low suction. The solid surface of shutters also means they will not hold on to dust and other allergens, making them a fantastic option for those with asthma and allergies.
- Several options are available to operate your interior shutters. Eliminate the tilt bar and elevate the look of your shutters with the HiddenTilt™ system that adjusts a single louver movement to adjust all louvers. Bi-fold track shutters are an excellent choice for larger sets of shutters.
