We’re sure that your old shutters have been quietly doing their job for years, adding a touch of assured class to proceedings. But just like anything else, they won't last forever. If you've got old or warped shutters, it might be time to consider an update. Let's discuss some of the telltale signs that it's time for a change.
Warped beyond recognition?
Warped shutters are like a bad hair day for your windows. When your shutters start bending, or warping, they not only look unsightly but also lose their functionality. This can do damage to your window recesses, so it's definitely time for a change.
Cracked or broken slats
Shutters are made to withstand the wear and tear of daily life, but heavy use, accidents, and mother time can have them looking worse for wear. If you find yourself fiddling with individual slats to keep them in place or covering up cracked ones, it's a clear sign your shutters have seen better days.
Faded glory
Sunlight is a double-edged sword. While it brightens your home, it can also take a toll on your fixtures – including your shutters. If your once-vibrant centrepiece starts to look faded and lacklustre over time, it’s time for a change.
Style mismatch
Shutters are an excellent window dressing because they’re timeless and will blend in with all décor styles. However, if your home has undergone a style makeover and your existing shutter colour or style no longer matches, a new set or two might be just what the décor doctor ordered.
