When Should Window Shutters Be A Consideration?
08 August 2019
Among developers and interior designers alike, window shutters have been growing in popularity for quite some time. The same also applies to homeowners, who are welcoming shutters into their homes in record numbers across the UK.
But what kind of home or interior space represents the right candidate for window shutters? How can you determine whether window shutters could improve the comfort and value of your home?If you’re still on the fence as to whether to install window shutters, it’s as simple as identifying one of the following five indicators:
No doubt shutters are the rage as far as the world of construction and designing is concerned. But if you are still dilly-dallying about whether you need them or not, we can help you out by streamlining some indicators. Look out for these signs if you are still unsure:
Your Interiors Are Too Bright
First up, window shutters can shield your interiors from external light like no other window covering. This can be particularly useful if your home is positioned in close proximity to a streetlight, or any other source of artificial lighting. If you’d like to take better control of darkness and illumination within your home, window shutters are the way to go.
Your Home is Too Hot in Summer
The insulating properties of window shutters are not restricted exclusively to light. During the warmer months of the year, they can also help you keep your interiors cool and comfortable. Strong sunlight shining through windows can quickly make any interior space feel like a greenhouse. Along with blocking excessive light, window shutters can prevent your interiors from reaching an uncomfortable temperature.
Your Home is Too Cold in Winter
It’s also the same at the opposite end of the scale – window shutters can be surprisingly effective thermal insulators. Closing your shutters during winter will help keep cold air at bay, while preserving warmer air within your home. Time and time again, studies have shown how quality window shutters can increase energy efficiency and significantly reduce energy consumption during the winter.
You Live in a Noisy Neighbourhood
Also worth considering is the extent to which high-end window shutters can effectively block and filter exterior noise. This can be particularly useful if you live close to a busy road, or in a noisy neighbourhood in general. Rather than simply putting up with excessive exterior noise, why not restore tranquillity to your interiors at an affordable price?
You Prioritise Style and Security
Last but not least, high-quality window shutters add an extra layer of security to your property in a stylish and sophisticated manner. Shutters covering windows and doors alike are effective deterrents, making your home a less attractive target for intruders. All while significantly enhancing the appearance of your home, perhaps even boosting its market value.
