5 Benefits of San Diego Exterior Shutters
As you explore ideas to improve the exterior of your home, exterior shutters can often be an after thought, but there are a variety of benefits that come with installing exterior shutters on the outside of your home for window treatment design. Exterior shutters have a unique ability to not only enhance the beauty of your home's exterior, but also have the ability to be customized to match your personal preferences along with the style of your home. NOTE: Most companies use "poly-shutters" (plastic) for your shutter needs. here at Cal Coast we used REAL wood to design and manufacture your exterior shutters precisely to your needs.
Exterior Shutter Benefits
Improved Exterior Appeal
Compared to "poly-exterior" shutters (plastic), wood shutters are a far better choice for a home because it improves the exterior aesthetics of your property. Real wood such as cedar or basswood, is naturally resistant to rot and decay, making it a durable and long-lasting option. Wood shutters carry a natural beauty and warm tones that can transform the face of any home into a strike facade. Wood shutters have proven to be an invaluable investment for homeowners that are looking to add that extra element to the exterior of their home!
Wood Provides Durability
Wood shutters, no matter if cedar wood or basswood is used, are also a popular choice of material because of its durability and ability to resist decay and insect damage. Most exterior shutters are made with cedwar wood which has natural oils that provides an extra layer of protection from varying weather conditions. For San Diego homes, this would be for moisture, sunlight, and temperature fluctuations. Cedar wood also has a low density making it lightweight yet strong enough to withstand general wear and tear over time. When you go with wood exterior shutters over "plastic" shutters, the shutters themselves will last for decades.
Low Maintenance
One of the best part about using wood for your exterior shutters is that there is minimal upkeep to maintain hem. You don't need to use harsh chemicals to clean your windows, all we recommend is a light cleaning solvent and water. Simply spray them down once in awhile to wash off any dust, dirt, and grime that may have accumulated and they will remain in perfect condition for years to come!
Increase Home Value
The quality of your shutters will determine whether they actually add value or not. Exterior shutters that use high-quality wood and are well-designed add an extra touch to the architectural decor of your home, increasing the home appeal, which in turn, increases its value. An important factor to consider is the location and market demand in your area, if shutters are a popular options for buyers then having htem on the home will make the property more appealing and work to increase its value.
