Plantation shutters can add many functional aspects to your home while being stylish and long lasting. These versatile window coverings can make for a great choice for most windows, increasing your property’s value and your comfort. Consisting of wide, horizontal louvres, plantation shutters can be adjusted to sit at a desired angle. They can be easily moved from completely shut to wide open, providing differing levels of lighting, ventilation, insulation, and privacy.
One of the biggest assets of plantation shutters is their ability to give you control over the amount of outdoor light entering a room. Their special design means they have different capabilities to other window coverings.
Choosing window coverings can be a big decision. A common priority for people seeking the best option for their home is how much light they will block or let in. Complete Blinds’ plantation shutters have many fantastic benefits and blocking out light is high on the list.
How Do Plantation Shutters Block Out Light?
When it comes to flexibility for covering windows, plantation shutters really do stand out. With their wide, sophisticated panels and durable materials, they block out varying amounts of light with a simple adjustment of an inconspicuous tilt rod. Plantation shutters enable you to move swiftly and easily from having your room brightly lit and ventilated to being in quiet darkness, and you can stop at any point in between. This means you can enjoy your space at whatever time of day it is and however the weather is outside.
Along with their unique, adjustable design, the wood or metal construction of the wide panels, which don’t let light pass in between them, means they are not transparent, unlike many blinds and curtains. This provides even more control over how much light comes into your home.
You can choose from different layouts of plantation shutters depending on how much natural light you want to enter a room. You may opt to have louvres that cover the expanse of the window, or to leave some of the space uncovered, allowing for unobstructed light at the top and privacy at the bottom, for instance. We can also install plantation shutters that you can slide or fold to the side of the window, or split shutters that allow for different angles of the louvres in different parts of the window.
Do Plantation Shutters Block Out Too Much Light?
When they are completely closed, plantation shutters will block the majority of the outdoor light from coming in. Your room will become dark and well-insulated, allowing you to sleep in the middle of the day if you want to! And when you have finished snoozing, all you need to do is tweak the alignment of the louvres. You can have just a fraction of light coming in to ease you awake or have them completely open to seize the day. Plantation shutters block out a lot of light, but they also let a lot of light in: it all depends on what you are after in the moment.
Do Plantation Shutters Do More Than Block The Light?
Investing in plantation shutters can be a great decision for most houses because they offer such a range of options and benefits, including blocking the light.
- A wide array of colours and materials means you can tailor your plantation shutters to complement your house beautifully.
- Customisation means plantation shutters can be made to fit most windows.
- The materials used, including a large choice of a variety of woods, are durable and easy to maintain.
- The louvres can be adjusted so that you can enjoy fresh air and sunlight but people from outside cannot see in.
- Airflow, ventilation, and insulation options provided by the plantation shutters can reduce your need for air conditioning, fans, and heating, which can improve your electricity bill and environmental impact.
