3 Benefits of Shutters

Durability

Shutters, when manufactured using wood as opposed to poly (plastic), have a few prominent advantages with durability being one. Unlike blinds that can easily break and bends, or drapes that need to be replaced every few years, wood shutters will last for decades when taken care of properly making them a smart investment for homeowners. The natural strength of wood combined with expert craftsmanship will make sure that your shutters remain resistant to warping, cracking, and fading, making these window treatment solutions a great choice for both interior and exterior applications.

Interior Design

Shutters have a timeless charm and natural elegance that adds a touch of sophistication to any space in a home by seamlessly blending in with any type of décor. The warm texture of wood shutters creates a sense of coziness, improving the visual appeal of rooms. Here at Cal Coast, because we use 100% real basswood to manufacture shutters, our team can design and manufacture your window treatments to match your interior décor and your personal preferences. No matter if you want them to blend in to the room décor or provide an amazing accent color, our team can help!

Energy Savings

With the rising energy costs in the region, shutters provide remarkable energy efficiency to homes. Crafted from high quality wood, this material effectively regulates indoor temperatures by acting as a barrier against external heat or cold. By easily adjusting the slats (louvers), homeowners can control the amount of sunlight entering their property, thereby reducing the need for excessive air conditioning or heating. This energy-conscious design creates a more comfortable living environment year-round while contributing to decreased energy consumption, leading to lower utility bills.
