Do window shutters add home value?
We often get asked by our customers: Do plantation shutters add value to the home?
Well, to be completely frank, yes, they do! Regardless of your space, whether it’s a sash or a bar, a door or a window, shutters add value to any space. But we don’t just mean this in a figurative sense.
Shutters will quite literally add monetary value to your home. How? Well, keep reading.
Shutters Are Built to Last
While curtains and blinds generally only last a few years and are very prone to wear and tear, plantation shutters are a window dressing that is built to last. Our shutters come with a 3-year warranty (or 10 if you opt for Faux Wood) but, with the proper care and attention, they can last 10, 15, 20 years…or longer! So, even if you aren’t planning on moving home in the next decade, when you do decide to move, your gorgeous shutters will be a key feature to help increase the value of your home.
A Window Dressing to Match All Styles
Regardless of whether your home is contemporary, rustic, or traditional, there is a shutter style to suit your needs. It is for this reason that shutters truly never go out of style. Besides our many whites and greys, we also offer a range of wood stains and limewash finishes, all of which are equally as suited to modern and historic homes.
Better Home Privacy and Security
Whether you opt for Full Height shutters, Tier-on-tier shutters, or Café Style shutters, shutters are the ideal window covering for privacy. Their versatility means that you can ensure you have coverage over the bottom half of the windows while still allowing adequate light. This is especially true of Tier-on-tier and Café Style.
Plantation shutters are good at insulating the home
Perhaps an unexpected way that shutters can work to add value to your home is via their insulation and ventilation qualities. As they are fitted flush to your window recesses, they are very effective and reducing drafts. This is especially useful in the colder winter months. It also works to keep the heating bills down, which is something that’s more vital than ever. And when it comes to summertime, your gorgeous shutters help to block the sun’s rays, thus keeping your room nice and cool. Shutters really are a win-win!
