Wood shutters can provide your home with many benefits beyond elegant looks. At
White House Designs for Life, we carry a complete selection of premium Hunter Douglas shutters, including classic hardwood, alternative wood, and Polysatin™ shutters. When it comes to choosing shutters compared to other window treatments, you can expect:
Improved energy efficiency window shutters are one of the most energy-efficient window treatments out there thanks to a construction that situates your shutters flush against your window frame, creating a seal that keeps air from leaking. Enjoy cooler summers and warmer windows with a robust window treatment that helps insulate your home and prevent costly energy bills. Keep out excessive sunlight in style and experience the difference of consistent temperatures inside of your home.
- Increased home value: Shutters are a desirable window treatment, and because they are generally more high-end and can feature custom-build styles, shutters are known to increase home value. This can come in handy if you are looking to make a worthwhile investment that will make returns on your home. Shutters are a stand-out feature, which can make your home an easier sell compared to others on the housing market.
- Enhance privacy and UV protection: Plantation shutters offer plenty of natural light that you can tilt with a louver to position incoming sunshine. Stunning view-through and customizable louver sizes allow you to enjoy the surrounding landscape and plenty of bright light without exposing your space to the outside world. This also doubles as preventing your home from feeling smaller and closed off. Plantation shutters shield your home from harmful UV rays that are not only bad for your health but can damage your furniture as well.
- Child-friendly designs: Shutters are naturally cordless and free from dangerous wires that pose safety concerns for children. Alternative wood styles are an especially great option for homes with pets and children because they are easy to clean and feature special coatings designed to preserve the beauty of the shutter.
- Added convenience: Some shutters, like the Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters, feature motorized capabilities. Transform your ordinary window treatments into smart technology with PowerView® Automation. With plenty of specialty sizes to choose from, including French doors, arches, patio and sliding glass windows, and corner windows, it’s easier than ever to take control of those difficult or hard-to-reach windows in your home. Control your custom shutters from the user-friendly PowerView® smartphone app or Pebble® remote.
