Wood Shutters Add Value to Homes in Colorado Springs

Plantation shutters, or interior shutters, are the classic wood shutters you’ve seen in those majestic homes throughout the United States. Plantation shutters are the classic window treatment, offering good looks, long life, good insulating properties and more.

Shutters are not inexpensive. They are considered some of the more expensive window treatments. There are many less expensive window treatments options available. Budget Blinds has a style for every point of view so when considering shutters or any other window treatment we can help. Shutters look good with just about any décor and even add to a home’s curb appeal. A house for sale with plantation shutters will usually list them as a feature so they add value to a home. Home appraisers will consider these when evaluating a home during an appraisal.

There are several different plantation shutters for you to choose from. You can find less expensive plantation shutters made from vinyl, or faux wood (composite). The cost savings between real wood shutters and vinyl shutters is approximately 25% and about 20% for composite wood. Plantation wood shutters also come stained or painted. An additional benefit of vinyl or faux wood plantation shutters is that they won’t warp, crack or split in hot or humid areas, like kitchens and bathrooms.

Shutters are highly versatile. They can block light very effectively or let in plenty of sunshine just by opening or closing the louvers, which range in size from 1 7/8” to 4 ½”. Wood shutters can be made in just about any shape and size. So, they can cover nearly all situations. There are limitations for faux wood shutters and vinyl wood shutters. Shutters offer some of the highest ratings when considering insulation.

Approximately 80% of all shutters sold in the United States are white, ivory, or off-white tones.

Real wood shutters usually come in premium hardwoods like a Basswood. One of the manufacturers that we represent feels shutters are like fine furniture. When you see the craftsmanship you will agree. And just like fine furniture, wood shutters make a statement about the home and the homeowners – that they care about their home and want only the best. If you are going to purchase real wood shutters, you may want to consider the stained variety as opposed to the painted ones. Why waste all that beautiful wood if you are going to paint over it? Then you may as well save money by purchasing the vinyl or faux wood shutters.
