Key Reasons for Custom Shutters
Improved Energy Efficiency
Plantation shutters act as an insulating barrier between your home and the outdoors, effectively moderating indoor temperature by preventing external heat transfer in hot Alpine summers and bolstering the interior warmth retention during the cold winters. By curbing the reliance on excessive air conditioning or heating, plantation shutters inherently lower your home’s energy consumption, thereby reducing utility bills. The shutters manufactured by Cal Coast stand as a testament to the seamless integration of style and practicality, creating a more energy-conscious and eco-friendly living space.
Light Control and Privacy
One of the most notable advantages of plantation shutters is unparalleled light control. These window treatment solutions allow individuals to easily regulate the amount of sunlight that comes into the home, allowing for the creation of various ambiances to suit diverse preferences and needs. By simply adjusting the slats (louvers), one can filter in enough light for a cozy atmosphere or invite an abundance of light in to the property. With the ability to control the light with one’s fingertips, plantation shutters stand out as the key to sophistication and functionality in interior design.
Easy to Maintain
While the main window treatment options include shutters, blinds, drapes, and curtains, shutters are the preferred choice for homeowners because they are very easy to maintain in comparison to the other solutions. Blinds bend and break very easily when you wipe them down, and curtains and drapes gather dust quickly and require frequent washes and even dry cleaning in some cases. With plantation shutters, you simply need a duster or a damp rag to wipe them down quickly and keep them looking new!
