An Extra Element to Your Sliding Glass Doors
It' amazing when you have no coverings over your sliding glass doors and what happens when custom shutters are designed and manufactured to match your homes decor. They add this extra element of beauty that is hard to come by and one that will stand the test of time. Here are a few reasons why San Diego homeowners choose Cal Coast for their sliding glass door shutters:
Privacy
.
Plantation shutters provide excellent privacy for your sliding glass doors. Unlike traditional window treatments, such as curtains or blinds, shutters can be adjusted to cover the entire door, making it impossible for anyone outside to see in. This feature is especially important if your sliding glass doors face a busy street or your neighbor's house. When the louvers are fully closed, no one from outside will be able to see in, this feature maintains your privacy in the evenings and protects your family from outside eyes. With a simple tilt of the louvers, you can control how much privacy you desire.
Light Control
A great advantage that plantation shutters offers is the ability to control the amount of light that enters your home. With adjustable louvers, it's easy to regulate the amount of light that comes in to your home, making them especially useful for rooms with high sun exposure, such as a living room. Just like privacy, when you want more light to enter your room simply tilt the louvers to whatever level of light you want, for complete darkness, shut them all the way closed. This is why homeowners choose shutters over drapes and blinds, while those treatments do have light control capabilities, they aren't combined with the aesthetic beauty that shutters brings to an interior decor.
Insulation
The thick slats that plantation shutters provide help to block out cold air during the winter months and hot air in the summer, reducing your energy bills and working to regulate your home's overall energy usage. Cost savings come without the need to run your air conditioning or heating systems throughout the year. This feature has become even more important with rising energy costs in the San Diego region as many of our client's have discussed a reduced bill due to not running their home cooling systems as often.
When Choosing Plantation Shutters for Sliding Glass Doors
Material
When choosing plantation shutters for your San Diego sliding glass doors, you should consider the material that they are made from. Each material has its own set of benefits and drawbacks, so you should choose the one that best suits your needs and budget. Here at Cal Coast, we manufacture the shutters using real wood because of its durability and easy to customize to any size sliding glass door. Sliding glass doors are often heavy traffic areas in a home with continuous opening and closing, even more so during the summer months, the wood material we manufacture your shutters with has the ability to withstand general wear and tear for decades. Many people look in to both shutters and blinds as the window treatment solution, and while both have their own advantages, the wood material used in shutters has proven to be the most effective choice for homeowners looking for sliding glass door treatment options.
Louver Size
The size of the louver itself is an important factor to consider when choosing shutters for your sliding glass doors. Larger louvers allow for more light to enter the room while providing a great view of the outdoor area, but don't offer as much privacy as smaller louvers. Larger louvers such as 3.5 or 4.5 inches, creates a contemporary look to a home and provides plenty of natural light to filter through. Smaller louvers, such as 2.5 inches brings a more traditional ambience to a home, offering greater privacy. The choice of louver sizes depends on your personal preferences and the requirements of sliding glass doors' location in the home.
Installation
Proper installation is an important factor for the overall performance and longevity of your shutters. Many companies outsource installation to a 3rd party, here at Cal Coast are team of installers have decades of experience and will make sure the shutters are installed to perfection. The overall time to design and manufacture your sliding glass door shutters is a few weeks, but the installation by our professionals takes only a few hours to make sure they are installed to perfection. We understand that sliding glass doors can be prone to drafts of air and with the new shutters installed in your home, will create a tight seal to stop air coming in when you don't want it.
