The standard window shutters come in two types, fixed or functional. The fixed window shutters normally mounted on the outside of a home and cannot open or close. The cost difference is substantial due to the additional cost for hinges, brackets, and installation. The painted fixed shutters match or contrast the home’s exterior with an added attraction of curb appeal.
The functional window shutters offer added security and installed on the interior window, unless a person lives where hurricanes regularly hit. If that is the case, the exterior shutter would help shelter the home from the storm.
The open or closed functional interior window shutter offers the homeowner the option that provides security as well as privacy. If you live in an area where the sun bombards the home day after day, the closed window shutters helps lighten the load of air conditioners.
Remember the hot sun bleaches color from fabrics inside the home and the window shutters protect that as well.
When a homeowner decides to install fixed shutters to the outside of the home the home takes on a different quality than the neighbors. In many home tracts the homes don’t offer any personal effect and those shutters will make a home stand out from the rest.
Regardless where you install the window shutters, the decisions you make when picking out your window styling shows your taste of both quality and durability. Those shutters remain in the home as a permanent feature and should increase the amount when you sell your home.
The louvers themselves can open or close and options of style and quality of wood enter into the equation. The decisions rest on the homeowner. So pick wisely, and remember you can change the color of your shutters.
Normally carpenters usually install the exterior shutters while window-covering contractors install the interior shutters. One-size-fits-all window shutters simply don’t work on most homes. Custom made window shutters seem to fit better and when the shutters close and lock during a storm, you’ll want that.
No matter the choices you make when you find someone who does the work you desire, get the quote in writing. Ask for references with any contractor and when comparing price with quality ask for more than one quote.
A respectable contractor never objects to a customer asking for additional quotes, they normally are never afraid to put their product up against their competitors.
