6) PLANTATION SHUTTERS EASY CLEAN AND GREAT FOR ALLERGIES

WebMD suggests this in their article How to Allergy Proof Your World. “Avoid dust-collecting Venetian Blinds or long drapes.” Shades or shutters can be replaced with old window coverings.

Shutters can be a great way of allergy-proofing your windows, as suggested by this guide, “5 Tips for Allergy-Proofing Your Windows.” The wide 4 1/2-inch louvers are a great option, as they have large slats and are easy to clean.

7) SHUTTERS IS THE ONLY WINDOW COVERING ACTUALLY STAYS ON APPRAISAL

Permanent changes should be considered, regardless of whether you are staying in your home for the long-term or looking to make a move in the near future. Plantation shutters can increase the value of your house because they are a permanent fixture that stays with the house. For more information on how shutters can help increase the value of your home, please visit the blog “Four Ways Plantation Blinds Add Value to Your Home.”

8) KNOW HOW MUCH QUALITY SHUTTERS COST IN YOUR AREA

You can make the worst mistake in this decision by purchasing low-quality shutters that won’t withstand time. Nationally manufactured plantation shutters have been tested and warrantied for decades. Graber, Norman and Eclipse are all well-known manufacturers who know how to make quality shutters. It is important to know how much a high-quality product should cost.

9) QUALITY OF SHUTTER PRODUCTION RANIES DRAMATICALLY. KNOW WHAT YOU’RE GETTING

Shutters can either be made in your own town or in the USA. To make the best choice, you need to know what goes into your shutter. Ask what kind of joinery your shutter doors are made from (dowels, mortise and tenon). There are many woods curing options and treatments that can drastically alter the life expectancy of shutters. The shutter’s appearance will last for many decades thanks to the quality of the paint and finish.

10) PLANTATION SHUTTERS: THE TOP UPGRADE

For premium plantation shutters, hidden tilt rods are a great upgrade. There are two main methods to remove the tilt rod from your shutter door. Hidden Tilt is the first and most common method. It has a steel connector at the shutter’s street side. It is extremely thin and barely visible from either shutter side (but it is still there). The small screw attaches to each shutter slat and the steel rod. All shutter slats will open and close when you move one shutter rod.

SHUTTER CLEANING GUIDE

For thorough cleaning, open the louvers and “slats”, in both the closed and open positions. Avoid soaking the product in water. This can cause discoloration, and wood may warp. Ultrasonic cleaning should only be used on shutters made of Premium Polyresin 3 and not on shutters made from wood or faux wood. Use a cotton cloth dampened in water to remove stubborn dirt and stains. Polyester cloths can create static which can attract more dust.

SUMMARY

Plantation shutters are a long-lasting investment. It is important to be aware of the various upgrades and options available, so your project lasts for many years. Plantation shutters are a significant investment, but they will improve curb appeal, light control, and increase value for your home. This makes them the top choice for both new and existing homeowners.
