Elegant Plantation Shutters in Arizona
Plantation Shutters
Plantation shutters are window coverings with a thick frame and moving slats that homeowners can adjust to let sunlight in and enjoy or view or lower to block sunlight and keep the room cool. Choose from wood, composite faux wood, and other materials to enjoy custom plantation shutters that match your budget, maintenance needs, and aesthetic.
Along with different material and color options, you can choose from different types. Full-height shutters cover the entire window, while cafe-style shutters cover the lower half of tall windows, and tier-on-tier shutters have stacked panels so you can adjust each section of the window covering. Some of the advantages homeowners love most about plantation shutters compared to other options are:
-
- Durability: Wood and composite shutters can outlast blinds and other solid covering, becoming a timeless fixture in your home.
- Versatility: Plantation shutters match a wide range of home decor styles, so you can transform your home over time without worrying about mismatched fixtures.
- Greater energy efficiency: Plantation shutters have a more solid presence against your window. They can better block out sunlight and heat—or help keep heated air inside during the winter.
Benefits of Using Plantation Shutters for Homes
If you’re exploring different options for a home remodel or are looking for ways to love the appearance of your home even more, plantation shutters offer multiple benefits:
Lower Energy Bills
Homeowners can significantly reduce the amount of money they spend on heating and cooling in Phoenix, AZ. Both wood and composite plantation shutters add insulation to windows, which have a much lower R-value than the adjacent walls and let heat energy through. Living room plantation shutters are solid, offering less energy transference—even on your home’s hot west and south sides. At the same time, they also help insulate sound!
More Beautiful Windows and Views
Enjoy more eye-catching views with living room plantation shutters. Plantation shutters enrich the appearance of your home when the slats are closed, giving it a comfortable and elegant feel. You can also open the shutters for a fully open view framed by your new installations.
Time Saved
Plantation shutters are built to last. Composite shutters and properly sealed wood shutters require little maintenance, giving you back more time and eliminating chores like untangling finicky window covers or replacing fragile blinds.
Materials Used in Plantation Shutters
When you select custom plantation shutters from Arizona Blinds Express, you can customize every facet, from the dimensions of the slats and the number of panels to the plantation shutter’s cost and color. We offer 100% natural hardwood shutters in over twenty color options, poly satin vinyl shutters for hot regions, and composite faux wood shutters in five colors.
Real Wood versus Composite
Both real wood and composite living room plantation shutters offer long-lasting beauty and elegance, but there are a few key differences. Our real wood shutters are made from hardwood, and we offer many different color stains so you can choose the perfect shade for your decor. These shutters can be restained and sealed throughout the years to complement your aesthetic.
Our composite shutters offer lower-maintenance elegance. The material can last through years of exposure to sunlight and indoor humidity without needing the upkeep of traditional wood.
