7 Questions You Should Be Asking When You’re Buying Plantation Shutters

Smith · April 29, 2022 · Leave a Comment

Shutters play an essential role in your home. Besides providing privacy, they also protect you from elements and boost energy efficiency. Plantation shutters are a good choice for people who want to improve their home’s curb appeal.

However, you should be careful and ask questions to get complete information about the product like any purchase. Below are seven questions you should ask when buying a plantation shutter.

  • What Are They Made Of?

Plantation shutters can be of different types of wood, including timber, poplar, and basswood. However, you can also get shutters of a premium dense polymer of varying qualities.

  • What Is the Best Option – Poly or Wood Shutters?

Most customers choose wooden shutters over poly shutters because they provide more benefits than artificial materials. In addition, timber wood is a popular choice in plantation shutters because they hold its shape and stand the test of time.

Wooden shutters are lighter and stronger than their poly counterparts, making them ideal for large shutters for huge rooms. You can get large wooden panels around 37 inches wide, making large shutter manufacturing easy.

Large-sized panels mean the window will have fewer panels, and closing and opening will be easy. In addition, you can have wood shutters painted in any colour to achieve a consistent look in your home.

If you are looking for better energy insulation, poly shutters are the best choice. Poly shutters provide better insulation than traditional wood, making your house energy efficient.

  • Which Louvre Size Is Best?

Home improvement experts mention that 80-90% of orders of window shutters have a width of 3 ½” louvres. However, more oversized windows need larger louvres, and 4 ½” size is perfect for them. You can go for a larger louvre size if you desire more openness after talking to a professional.

  • Is Midrail Necessary in Window Shutters?

The mid-rail is a solid horizontal plant that goes across the middle of the shutter panel. Clients opt for mid rail as it provides convenience. For example, they can keep the top section open to allow natural light inside the room while the bottom stays closed for privacy. In addition, when you have a mid-rail in your shutters, you don’t have to open and close shutters every day.

  • Can You Get Plantation Shutter Without the Vertical Tilt?

Traditional shutters have a central tilt rod that goes down the middle of each shutter panel. However, if you don’t want vertical tilt, you can get custom designed shutter with hidden tilt.

In a custom-designed shutter, the wooden bar on the front panel is not present, and you can have a metal tilt bar installed at the back of the panel. The metal tilt bar is almost invisible and allows for more visibility and space.

  • What Is the Delivery Wait Period?

Delivery time of timber and aluminium shutters is in one week. You need to take accurate measurements, select the right design, and manufacture the shutters per specifications. You can also get professional installation for a perfect fit.

  • What Is the Warranty Provided?

Aluminium shutters come with 20 years warranty, while timber shutters come with five years warranty. Most shutters are 100% locally made with high-quality materials.

These are a few questions you should be asking when you’re buying plantation shutters.
