Plantation Shutters For Versatility And Style
Plantation shutters have long been a favourite window covering. They keep the harshest of weather out while letting precious light flood every room. Plantation shutters are also a great way to ventilate your home and can really help keep you cool on hot days. At
Studio Curtains, we offer a range of
shutters
that blend the practicality of plantation shutters with their timeless style, which makes them an excellent option.
Choose From A Range Of Shutters
Plantation Shutters can be bought in a range of materials, and each has a different appeal. At Studio Curtains, we offer PVC and wooden shutters, as well as a selection of aluminium designs. When it comes to which type to choose, there are a few things to consider:
- How the shutters will work with your overall design aesthetic
- How the shutters will work in your particular environment
- Any special considerations around usage, such as additional security needs
Wooden Plantation Shutters
Wooden plantation shutters are a superb choice for homes that have a traditional style. They are particularly suited to older properties, but careful styling can make them a great addition to a more contemporary design too. This type of shutter can be painted, so it’s a lovely choice if you want to add a splash of colour.
Wooden plantation shutters are often a more economical choice in terms of initial outlay, but the nature of wood means it will need regular maintenance to keep the shutters looking good and in tip-top condition. You’ll need to paint or varnish your shutters about once a year, and it’s worth carrying out regular checks of any moving parts to keep everything working as it should.
PVC Plantation Shutters
PVC plantation shutters are naturally water resistant, so they’re a superb choice for damp areas such as kitchens or bathrooms. They are less likely to warp and have a higher resistance to mould than wooden shutters. Maintenance-wise, they’re pretty easy to please too – a simple wipe-over with a damp cloth and an occasional check of the hinges is all they need.
PVC shutters are often at the lower end of the price scale too. The only downside is that they can't be painted after installation, so it’s wise to choose a colour that you know will work with all styles of interior.
Aluminium Plantation Shutters
Aluminium plantation shutters look especially good as part of a contemporary build. They offer excellent heat control and are a good choice for exposed areas such as coastal properties. They can withstand all but the strongest storms and offer good security too.
Aluminium shutters are one of the more expensive types of shutters, but if you factor in their low maintenance and longevity, as well as their superior strength, they can often be the best value option. Many aluminium shutters are available in a range of colours, so it should be easy to find a design that works with the overall look of your property.
