Achieve privacy and energy efficiency with plantation shutters

 Renowned around the world for their timeless grace and charm, plantation shutters are the best products available to cover your windows. But these interior shutters are worth the investment for more than their sleek and stylish appearance, as they also add incredible privacy and energy efficiency to your home.

 Effortlessly enhanced privacy

 The problem with most window shades is that they don't offer complete privacy. Curtains can be opened at inconvenient times with windows open, and blinds break and move too easily. Windows covered with plantation shutters never have problems like these, even in the strongest drafts. They remain closed or open to your liking and offer complete privacy when closed. You never have to worry about a neighbor peeking through cracks in window curtains, as plantation shades are designed to close tightly and stay that way until you open them again.

Excellent energy efficiency all year round

 

Plantation shutters originally became popular in the courts of French King Louis XIV because they helped members of the royal family keep their homes perfectly controlled during sweltering summers and cold winters. They were transported to pre-war plantation homes in the southern United States for the exact same reason, and that's why they should decorate your home as well.

 

In summer, plantation shutters allow light and air to enter during the cooler hours of the day. They also completely block out the hot midday summer sun, keeping your home cooler. The reverse is true for winter: open your blinds during the midday sun to help heat your home, and close them for the rest of the day to lower your heating bills.

 

Custom fit to fit your home perfectly

 

The reason plantation shutters work so well for privacy and energy efficiency is that they are designed to fit perfectly into your home. A professional plantation shutter company will always tailor every shutter you install to the customer's home. This tight fit ensures that your windows are properly covered to prevent prying eyes, as well as the heat and cold from the outside world to which they belong - outside your home.

 

When shopping for your new plantation shutters, remember that they are worth the investment as they can simultaneously protect your privacy and lower your energy bills throughout the year. These fabulous blinds are worth every penny, especially compared to other mediocre options on the market.
