When it comes to shutters, it’s often the vernacular that is used when asking about a certain type of “shutter”. Louvered shutters are ultimately the same as plantation shutters, they are designed with louvered slats that allow homeowners to tilt them up and down to control the amount of light and privacy that they desire for their home.

Frequently Asked Questions About Shutters

What materials are plantation shutters typically made from?

The 2 most common materials plantations are made from are wood and poly (plastic). Wood shutters have become the preferred choice for homeowners because they are easy to customize to match any size or shaped window. There are a variety of colors and stains available to match both your personal preferences and interior décor. Here at Cal Coast Shutters, we design and manufacture your plantation shutters using 100% real basswood.

Can shutters be customized to fit different window sizes and shapes?

Yes. Most windows are generally “square” in dimension, but if you have a window that is a different shape such as an arch, circle, or octagon; because we use real wood, we can customize shutters to both the window shape, size and color or stain needed.

How do shutters differ from blinds and curtains?

There are several ways that shutters differ from blinds and curtains; shutters are solid and stable window coverings usually made of wood attached to the window frame. They have adjustable louvers that can be tilted to control light and privacy levels. On the other hand, blinds are made of slats connected by strings and can be raised or lowered for light control. Curtains are fabric panels that hang from a rod and be drawn open or closed. While blinds and curtains offer a wider range of design options, shutters provide better insulation, light control, and the ability to customize around any size or shaped window.

How much are shutters?

There are several factors that determine the price of shutters such as the size of the windows, the material being used, and the level of customization required. On average, the cost is anywhere between $400 - $800 a window. It’s important to consult with a trusted shutter company to come to your residence and take precise measurements to give you an accurate quote.

What is the installation process for shutters?

Yes. You will have the owner of Cal Coast Shutters come to your home personally for a consultation and to provide precise measurements. The price quote we provide includes measurement and installation. As a locally owned and family operated shutter provider, you will get personal attention to your project and not a sales rep who is at your residence to close a sale and move on.

Why are Wood Shutters Better than Plastic Shutters?

There are many reasons why we feel wood shutters are superior to plastic shutters.

Just a few of the reasons are:

Wood shutters are the most durable window treatment option in the market that can last for decades. Poly (plastic) shutters tend to warp, crack, and fade and need to be replaced in about 6-10 years.
Wood shutters can be manufactured in just about any shape, size, color or configuration imaginable to meet your specific needs. Plastic is limited in size, shape and color.
If wood shutters are damaged, a new component can be fabricated to match any style and finish. It may be difficult to find a component to match the style and color of a plastic shutter.
Wood offers an unlimited choice of paint and stain colors available. Plastic usually offers a very limited choice of colors.

Do shutters come with any warranty or guarantee?

Yes! All window treatment companies should have a warranty on their work. Here at Cal Coast, we provide a warranty that our shutters are free from defects in materials and workmanship. If there should be a defect, Cal Coast Shutters will repair or replace any shutter or shutter component that fails due to faulty material. Paint finishes are guaranteed for 10 years, stain finishes for 5 years.

Can shutters be used for sliding glass doors?

Yes! We offer a free in-home consultation. Cal Coast will take a look at the interior decor of your home and show you the options available. We also listen to YOUR ideas and answer any questions you may have. Just fill out our Request Estimate form and our team will schedule a consultation with you.

Can Home Shutters Increase the Value of My Home?

Yes. Shutters can potentially increase the value of your home. Not only do they add aesthetic value to a property, but also provide functional benefits including light control and insultation. We use only REAL wood at Cal Coast Shutters, if you choose a company that uses synthetic (plastic) shutters then the home value will increase nominally as opposed to real wood.

What Can Shutters Do for My San Diego Home?

Beautiful Interior Design

One of the primary reasons homeowners decide to go with shutters as their window treatment solution is their unmatched ability to improve a home’s aesthetics and overall elegance. Unlike blinds or curtains, shutters boast a clean and sophisticated look that can match a variety of interior styles from traditional to contemporary. Shutters have a sleek design that adds charm to any room, elevating your interior décor and providing the perfect solution to your window treatment needs.

Variety of Design Options

The shutters we provide come in a wide array of design options so that you can find the perfect match for your home. While they are available in a few different materials such as wood, vinyl, or composite, San Diego homeowners have turned to wood as their material of choice because of its unique appeal and characteristics. The wood material is easily customizable to any size or shape of a window and can be colored or stained to match your preferences.

Regulate Natural Light

Shutters provide exceptional control over natural light, allowing homeowners to create the perfect setting in their home. With a simple tile of the louvers, you can adjust the amount of sunlight that enters the room, preventing glare and UV rays from fading furniture and carpets. The ability to control light effectively also reduces the need for lighting during the day which leads to energy savings.

Energy Savings

Energy costs continue to rise year over year in the San Diego region and homeowners are continuously seeking ways to improve their home’s energy efficiency. Shutters play a significant role in this endeavor by creating a layer of insulation when fully closed and allowing natural light in when fully opened. This allows you to regulate the indoor temperature of your home and have less reliance on your air conditioning and heating systems, thus, lower energy costs.

Shutters are Low Maintenance

Unlike curtains and blinds that are difficult to maintain, shutters can withstand the daily wear and tear. Fabric curtains require frequent washing to maintain their look and when blinds collect dust, can be frustrating to clean and can lead to warping and breaking very easily. Shutters are extremely easy to clean, you simply wipe them down with a damp cloth or duster and they will look like new!
