When a homeowner decides it is time for new windows there are great many things to consider. There is of course the time frame in which they want the project to be completed, cost, whether or not to hire a contractor, and of course a myriad of design choices to to chose from as well. As new windows in a home bring with it a great number of benefits, homeowners engaging in such a project may wish to consider taking things to the next level.

Any homeowner that has purchased and is having new windows installed in their home should seriously consider adding new window decor to push the project to its limits. There are more than just one or two reasons homeowners may want to consider adding some decor to their new windows, all of which bring with them a number of different benefits.

The first and perhaps most obvious reason homeowners should include decor in their new window project is for the sake of appearances. Aesthetically pleasing window decor will work in conjunction with a homes new windows to create an atmosphere that homeowner can be proud of. Furthermore selecting the right window decor during this type of project can also leave a favorable impression on visitors.

Not surprisingly, many homeowners also add new window decor to their recently installed windows for functionality. Purchasing and installing the right type of window decor can allow homeowners to better control the climate within their home. In many cases homeowners will notice a dramatic reduction in the costs associated with running the heat and air units after new window decor has been installed. Moreover the right type of window decor allows homeowners to seize control over the amount of light that enters and exits a room.

Although it is third on this list, price is something that homeowners should be considering right from the get-go, though they should never let it deter them. The costs associated with new window decor can sometimes be a bit high but considering that the purchase and installation of new windows isn't exactly inexpensive most homeowners should have plenty of room in their project budget for the inclusion of new decor that complements their windows.

Any homeowner who has opted to have new windows installed in their home and wants to go all the way by adding new decor to those windows should seriously consider working with a professional so as to ensure that their home gets exactly the type of decor that it needs. There are also many alternatives to window decor that professionals can recommend should a homeowners budget not allow for some of the pricier selections.

Modern Plantation Shutters

When you think of plantation shutters, you, like many others, believe they date back before the Civil War. Plantation designates the homes built by slaves in the south during that period. Modern plantation shutters bear no resemblance and there are many more choices. The shutters add a permanent addition and the value of your property increases exponentially.

Your first choice would be the exterior or interior type of shutter. Now we’re going to write about the interior plantation shutter even though both types operate in the same way. However the exterior shutters can be permanently installed and have no function other than to add beauty and individualism to your property.

The interior shutter still provides privacy as well as protection when they are closed. They are easy to use and when you want more for your windows, you can add draperies or curtains without obstructing their use.

When you desire painted shutters to blend with the same color as the room where you install them, the choice would be wood. Vinyl shutters often come in white or off-white colors, but you can change the color of paint on vinyl modern plantation shutters as often as you paint your room. They may need a special paint to adhere.

Modern plantation shutters also give you the choice to control whether or not light enters your room. When you close the louvers tight the room becomes darker, and you can open the louvers while the shutter is still sitting against your window. So you choose from dark to light and all the way in between.

So besides privacy and protection you’ll find the modern plantation shutter comparatively easy to install. They are easy to use and they don’t just sit there collecting dust but when they do, they’re easy to clean. The modern dusters that don’t rely on feathers work well, and when they need extra cleaning a damp cloth works well especially on the vinyl shutters.

If you’re unsure about the installation of your shutters that will be permanently installed, you may want to call in a professional. One good thing about a professional installation, if they make a mistake while measuring, they will order new shutters and of course there will be no charge for the error.

When you do the job yourself, you may be paying double and the increase in costs won’t be absorbed.

Unusual size windows will be no problem and the advice you receive from a professional will be well worth your efforts.

Cleaning Your Plantation Shutters

Though they are beautiful when they are first installed, the luster of plantation shutters can quickly be lost to dust, dirt, and even mold due to a homeowners neglect. Now given the fact that some homeowners spend an exuberant amount of money on their plantation shutters you'd think that they'd clean them often but many often don't clean them as well as they should simply because they don't know how.

The truth of the matter however is that cleaning plantation shutters is no different than cleaning most other things in a home. They will need to be dusted regularly to avoid buildup and will occasionally need to be wiped down with a damp cloth so as to retain their shine and healthy looking gloss. Harsh chemicals should never be utilized when cleaning plantation shutters of any kind as these can damage both the shutters themselves and their finishes.

Keeping plantation shutters looking good for years and even decades at a time takes only a small amount of effort and any homeowner that remains unsure of how to clean them or has shutters that need some extra attention should contact a professional in order to find out what the best way to proceed might be.

Should you have any questions regarding your shutters or how to keep them looking great please be sure to contact us that we may be of assistance!
