Cut Energy Costs And Consumption With Shutters
If you're the type of homeowner who wants the best for their home but also wants to save energy than you'll likely want to turn your attention towards shutters for your windows. While things like window blinds and even drapes can control the light flow in and out of a home effectivly, it is shutters that will truly help you reduce energy costs.
Drapes and blinds can be quite nice but aren't really built to help trap in heat during the winter and keep it out during the summer. This is one area in which shutters really shine stand out above other types of window decor. This is because shutters are designed to fit within windowpanes much tighter and properly which ultimately leads to a product that more effectively helps maintain a home's interior climate.
By utilizing shutters all throughout a home rather than in only select locations you'll be able to run your heater and air conditioning units far less than you would if you were utilizing drapes and window blinds.
Should you have any questions about how shutters can cut energy costs and consumption please be sure to contact us so that we may be of assistance.

Shutters: Many Materials Available For Yours
When people begin to consider installing shutters one of the first things they think about is the type of wood they want their new shutters to be constructed from. What many homeowners are unaware of however is that shutters are no longer available in only wood. Sure there are shutters made of oak, pine, and various other types of wood but they are now available in a greater variety of materials.
Some of these materials are better suited for certain homes which is one reason homeowners need to be aware of these different materials. Homeowners who own a home that resides in areas prone to heavy moisture and/or extreme heat should consider not wood shutters but shutters made of vinyl instead. Just as is the case with their wooden brethren, vinyl shutters come in a wide variety of different styles and quality.
Vinyl shutters require far less maintenance and repair then do wood and metal shutters. Moreover shutters made of vinyl, especially the more expensive ones, mimic the look and even feel of wood shutters. Perhaps best of all however is the cost associated with vinyl shutters. These types of shutters are generally much more affordable than wood and metal shutters.

Reduce Heating And Cooling Costs With New Shutters
Do you live in an area that experiences particularly cold winter's? Many people do and those people find themselves running heaters constantly only to watch the heat dissipate rather quickly through windows. Homeowners living in these types of scenarios and experiencing these types of frustrations do have an option available to them. This option is of course to have shutters installed.
Both interior and exterior shutters can help homeowners trap heat in their homes and keep the cold out during the winter months. Likewise during the summer months homeowners can utilize the same shutters to keep excessive heat out of their home and the cool air generated by their air-conditioning unit inside of the home.
While the initial cost of having shutters constructed and installed may cause apprehension in some homeowners, these homeowners need to understand that the shutters will pay for themselves rather quickly. Having good shutters installed reduce electric bills that have run high due to prolonged and excessive heater and air conditioning usage.
If you're sick and tired of running your heat and air nonstop in order to create only a semi-comfortable indoor environment then consider shutters and consider contacting us for assistance!

Decorating With Interior Shutters
When you decorate with interior window shutters, you add a permanent décor to your rooms, one that can be opened entirely, or in the closed position, the slats can be open or closed. You can also add draperies or simply drape a thin curtain across the top of them to give them a finished look. However you don’t need anything else on your window. The interior shutters will add another layer against the heat or cold from the outside. They also add privacy, and will block the sunlight.
The type of shutter you choose will be wood that can be painted to blend or contrast the remainder of the room. You can paint the entire interior wooden shutters before you install them. Vinyl would be your second choice, and you never have to paint the vinyl shutters. They may need dusting or even wiping off with a damp cloth, but that’s all. You don’t have the variety of colors with vinyl and they normally come in tones of white. The wooden shutters should be dusted regularly and unless they are installed in a room where there is steam and/or dampness, the vinyl shutters would be preferable.
The interior shutters can be easily installed by a ‘Do It Yourselfer’ and you wouldn’t need many tools to do the job. If you mount the shutters on the inside of the window box, then all you need to do is secure the screws to the 2x4 frame of the window. If the shutter will be attached outside the window frame, then it will need to be carefully mounted with drywall anchors or attached to a stud to insure stability. Normal hinges will hold the shutters in place.
Without doubt decorating with interior shutters will add uniqueness to your home. They can be seen from the outside, and on the inside you can adjust the light coming into your home. They can be closed to insure privacy or open wide to allow the warmth of the sun to penetrate your home on a cold winter day.
They also add another layer to protect you from the harsh heat of summer days or the cold that blasts against your outside window. In today’s world where you need to control the cost of your utilities, and still have the beauty and privacy of your own desire and tastes within your home, interior shutters are the way to go.

What Type Of Exterior Shutters Are Right For Your Home?
So you decided that you were going to add some exterior shutters to your home but you're not quite sure which shutters are right for your home and for your style of decor. While there is some thinking and time involved in choosing the right shutters for your home it doesn't need to be an overly difficult decision.
Exterior shutters are available in many shapes and many different types of materials. Vinyl shutters are often more affordable than their wood and metal brethren and are readily available at most home improvement stores, though cheaper vinyl shutters often look plastic. There is of course also shutters made of wood which are great for homeowners who don't mind a high maintenance investment. Wood shutters must be cleaned regularly and be treated with chemicals that prevent rot, cracking, and peeling. Metal shutters are popular with homeowners who don't want a lot of customization and with those who want to keep things simple.
A homeowner needs to consider the neighborhood and the environment that they live in prior to selecting any type of exterior shutter for their home. Furthermore weather and season extremes need to be taken into heavy consideration as rain, snow, sleet, hail and even extreme heat and dryness can ruin certain types of shutters very quickly.

Exterior Shutters Improve Your Home's Value And Make It More Energy Efficient

Much in the same way that windows do, exterior shutters can be kept closed during the winter months to help keep heat trapped inside a home and can be opened during the summer months to both allow fresh air into a home and help keep it cool during those mild summer evenings.

When it comes to adding value to a home exterior shutters do their job and do it well. Unique exterior shutters can add quite a bit to the curb appeal of a home, even to those home that had very little to begin with, and make a home more valuable when the time comes to sell it.

Hurricane Shutters: Protecting Homes And Families

Hurricane shutters sometimes referred to as hurricane coverings are used by homeowners in these areas to protect their houses from structural damage caused by these gargantuan storms. Essentially hurricane shutters prevent windows from being broken by flying objects during a hurricane which is important although protecting a home's windows may not be enough. In most cases however hurricane shutters, which are made from steel and aluminum, are enough to protect a home's occupants against not only shattering glass but potentially fatal debris thrown at the home by hurricanes winds.
There are some homeowners who opt to use plywood as a makeshift hurricane shutters though they may not always be strong enough to keep windows from shattering and debris out of a home. There are even those hurricane shutters which are motorized and can be folded away when not in use.

What Are Exterior Shutters Made Of?

This consensus is fairly accurate as exterior shutters are available in aluminum, iron, wood, and in some cases vinyl. The type of shutt a home owner selects will largely be dependent on budget, personal tastes, and desired length of investment. As most of us know even the most costly and well put together wood and metal will shutters face an uphill battle with regards to things like moisture and heat. These battles leave these types of shutters warped, cracks, and peeling. Vinyl shutters on the other hand require very little care and last a great length of time before ever needing to be replaced.
The area in which a home is situated in also plays a factor in what type of exterior shutter a homeowner will want to purchase. Areas with extreme weather will require not only shutters made of a specific type of material but a specialized exterior shutter as well. With so many choices available with regards to exterior shutters its a good idea to consult a professional before purchasing any all.

Installing Your New Orange County Shutters Yourself

Installing Orange County shutters isn't a very difficult process if you keep the following in mind!
- Following Instructions: Any homeowner who aims to install their new shutters themselves should follow the detailed instructions that accompany the shutters they've purchased. Those that deviate from the instructions will always encounter problems.
- Measuring shutters to fit your windows: The measuring process is the first thing that a do-it-yourselfer needs to deal with. Precise measurements are the key to a successful and proper installation.
- Determining the preferred type of installation: Homeowners will also need to determine whether they want to install their new Orange County shutters on the inside of the window opening or on the outside of the window opening. Both types of installations have their pros and cons though most professionals usually recommend that homeowners have their shutters installed on the inside of the window opening.
- Taking it slow/Accuracy: Measurements are a huge part of shutter installation and can be difficult to read at times. Measuring more than once or asking a friend to measure the same thing you just did will help ensure that your measurements are accurate. Rushing through the installation of your shutters can result in damage to your shutters, damage to your window, and can cost you more money. This is why we recommend that every do-it-yourselfer take it slow and even contact a professional when they find themselves frustrated or unsure of anything.

Let Your Window Coverings Compliment Your Room's Decor
More often than every single room in a home features a different decor. Usually the decor in a given room will be reflective of the person who occupies it most frequently. In all rooms, even those that are used by a number of people like kitchens and living rooms, it's important to make sure that window dressings aren't in sharp contrast with the type of lighting in the room as well as the lighting fixtures and the decor of the room as well.
Individuals must take care to not utilize window dressings and coverings that either darken a room too much or allow too much light in. Individuals must also take note of how much or how often lighting fixtures are being used during daylight hours and adjust their window coverings accordingly. There is then the aesthetics to be considered. You don't want white colored window coverings in her room that utilizes predominantly dark paint or wallpaper. Essentially individuals want to make sure that their window coverings complement or work with a room rather than standing in contrast.
