6 Ways Installing California Shutters Will Improve Your Home

If you’ve just moved into a new home or are looking to renovate your current home, chances are you’ve been thinking about choosing or changing window coverings. It can be an expensive project, without any huge reward in terms of improving the value or your enjoyment of your home.

Outside of the usual options like blinds, shades and curtains you’d do well to consider fitting California-style window shutters around your home. Here’s six reasons why.

1: They’ll Last a Lifetime

Choose the right material for your shutters, and they’ll last you a lifetime. The best shutters carry a 25-year or ‘lifetime’ warranty. Tip: Wooden and vinyl shutters tend to have a shorter life, as they can warp and crack due to temperature and humidity changes in your home. Check out a new material – PolyTek offered by companies like GTA Shutters – it’s eco-friendly and will never warp or crack.

2: You’ll Sleep Better

Yes, really. Shutters offer really excellent light control so if you’re disturbed by light leaking into your bedroom from the street, or those early summer sunrises you’re going to love shutters as your room will be blacked out almost completely.

3: Total Privacy inside Your Home

Shutters offer much better privacy than blinds and shades. No little gaps that people outside could see through. Just total privacy so you can enjoy your home fully

4: Reduced Energy Costs

Because window shutters offer amazing light control, you can keep your home cooler in summer by keeping out more sun so you’ll run your air conditioning less. In winter, shutters offer an extra barrier to drafts around your windows.

5: Maintenance Free

Shutters are really easy and low-effort to clean – you can just wipe the blades with a cleaning wipe or a swiffer which takes seconds. There’s no other maintenance!

6: Clean, Timeless Look

California shutters offer a clean, ‘clutter free’ look to your home and their design is timeless – they won’t be out of style in 3 years time like all those patterned curtains or coloured shades.
