Benefits of Plantation Shutters

Plantation shutters, or interior shutters, are the only window treatments that increase your home's curb appeal and the property's resale value. These timeless window treatments create an inviting, elegant, sophisticated aesthetic that allows you to control light and privacy.

 

Some benefits of interior window shutters are that you can:


  • Adjust the louvers to block out or let in light
  • Raise or lower the louvers to get privacy or enjoy the view
  • Close them to boost your home's security or prevent storm damage from entering your home
  • Swing them open to clean the window glass or for an uninterrupted view
  • Boost your home's energy efficiency
  • Have them cut to fit any window in your home

How to Use Interior Shutters Effectively

Interior window shutters have louvers that adjust to alter light and keep others from seeing in. You can lower or raise them to darken the room and reduce glare. Shutters are typically adjusted with a tilt bar. Some are in front, but you can select a rear tilt bar for a cleaner look.

 

Wood and faux wood shutters reduce outside noise when they're closed. They can also boost energy efficiency. In winter, you can leave the shutters open during the day so that heat from sunlight comes through your window glass, naturally raising the temperature in your home.

Types of Interior Window Shutters

At Blinded by Delight, we carry Hunter Douglas shutters. Choose from louvers that are 2.25 inches wide, 3.25 inches wide, or 4.25 inches wide. We have three separate types of interior window shades:
